non-lucid

1. I'm reading the steampunk novel "The Difference Engine" and taking notes in the margins with the pen I use for my dream journal. These concern an idea I have to rewrite the story in America, casting it in a more comical light with plenty of snarky humor. For example, I reference "All About the Benjamins" and make Ben Franklin a cocky womanizer.

2. I'm in a hospital for some routine test. I notice J. C. from high school with his sister in the waiting room, and I seek to avoid him by ducking down a hallway. I sit at the end of the hall and read a magazine. When I come back to the waiting room, my old friend W. L. is there talking to someone...

Me, my brother and my parents are at an unidentified ski lodge. Me and my brother argue Borders vs Barnes and Noble. (I have no idea what exactly there is to argue about, but I sided with Borders, which is odd because I actually prefer Barnes and Noble.)
Scene change.
My friend John works at a Coke factory. I knock over a bottle, and go to get a towel. I somehow end up in a BlockBuster store, and my friend Adam shows me his favorite Zelda movies. (None of them actually exist, they had Link and Luigi on the cover. How I did not become lucid here is beyond me.) Then I walk back to the factory, and John already cleaned up the mess. He says I owe him 5$.

I am in English class, and a substitute teacher yells at a classmate of mine who always quotes Shakespeare.
Somehow I end up in an unidentified computer lab, taking a Math final with people who aren't in my class. I distinctly remember my actual math teacher. We don't really do anything.

Cylon Reconnaissance 6/13/11

I was part of a Two-Man recon mission from Galactica to a planet (probably Kobol). My partner was a female. I think we came down in a Raptor, but I don't recall the beginning that well. We were walking through some dense jungle/forestry, and soon found ourselves at the edge of a cliff, and we dropped down into the grass for cover.

The female pulled out a large sniper rifle, and I took out binoculars to aid her. There were a few of Cylons (human variety and toasters) in a clearing below. For some strange reason I wasn't able to assist her in targeting; I blanked. They soon saw us and we slid down the cliff side and into the valley, along the wall until we hit the tree line.

There were weapons all along the ground. My partner manage to pick up a working weapon. I however, picked up two sepearate weapons, neither of which were in working condition (Oh yeah, love my luck =P ). One of which looked like a longbow...I assumed it was an energy weapon, but apparently it was just a bow, or it was busted. The second was a sort of mechanical rapier, with a second blade running from the hand hard, and meet at the tip of the main blade.

We darted back into the cover of the woods and were running REALLY fast--inhumanly fast. I realized that WE were Cylons ourselves! (Twist!) The other cylons were a few yards behind us, firing at us, but missing. We leapt into the wreckage of another raptor and set a beacon (which marked the a target for Nuking from the ship in orbit) and were "beamed up" to Galactica.

From this point, it switched to a movie style dream...I saw the other Cyclons looking at the beacon apathetically just as a massive mushroom cloud appeared, shockwave and all. It was pretty intense. After that, it switched to President Rosland doing something...the dream got a bit illogical after that.

Astarius and the Whiny Vampire-thing

-I was lucid, in a bedroom by myself. I was trying to stabilize in the dream, and it was really dim. I was rubbing myself all over and saying, "I am lucid, the world is vivid" over and over. I got out of bed, and saw a small black creature on a long chain, on the bed. It looked like my sister's small dog, but I couldn't be sure. I wanted to let it go, but I didn't know what it was so I kept trying to get the lights on, saying, "lights on" and "I have the vision of the eagle" over and over, and finally tried to use the light switch, which didn't work. (Note to self: try "vision of the owl" or "night vision" in the future)

- I was becoming lucid, and realizing I was surrounded by a crowd of shadows pressing in on me. I stood up to one guy, and was asking him, "what do you represent? what do you want? do you have a gift for me?" I backed him against a wall, turns out he didn't have a gift for me so I pulled a ruby out of my heart and gave it to him. We were kind of at a standstill, and I asked, "God, what do I do with this person?". A ceramic mask appeared over the guys eyes, we both felt relieved, he said "thank you". I walked to the front of the house and came to a window. I carefully pressed on the window and it maybe cracked slightly but I dove through it pretty easily and flew out.

-Lucid - I was flying around and asked the dream to "show me something important". I was transported to a room where a (guy?) with a slight build was lying in fetal position on the floor, facing me, dressed in black. He started to tell me some kind of story about helplessness, and he bared his teeth which looked like vampire teeth...he started to tell me about how he "had" to be a vampire, he had no choice, some really whiny poor-me story. Then he bit my index finger on my right hand and latched on. I tried to shake him off by slamming him against the floor and the wall...and then I called out, "ASTARIUS!" The wall in front of me opened up and Astarius appeared and with his usual amazingly bright smile and attitude, said, "YES!" I held my hand out to him with the thing stuck to it which was becoming mush by that time and I was realizing it was not as it seemed...and asked him, 'what do I do with THIS?" and he pulled out a tissue and said, "let me help you with that, it's just a little sumpin' sumpin'. I expressed gratitude and appreciation for him and told him I'd let him get back to bed (he was dressed similar to the way he always dresses, except it looked like he was in jammies pattern).

Still lucid - Flying on - I tried to fly up into the black night sky. I couldn't get very far so I called an angel for help, as usual an angel never came so I just started wondering if some part of me would help me. A guy who looked a lot like Taylor zoomed alongside me and helped me fly and I asked him what he represented. He said something like "your bioelectric system" or something. He had a blue rubber headgear that looked like a superhero costume. He told me that "it is IMPERATIVE that you continue to take physical action", which I agreed, I understood it to be connected to something I thought of for solstice, as well as being kind of lazy about sitting back and waiting for the universe to hand me things. We flew to an ice rink where people were ice skating, and I remembered I had ice skated before and liked it and didn't suck too bad.

Flying around somewhere else later - I arrived at a building that had an opening to the right and spiral steps carved into the building going in and down, a purple light was glowing from the center. I thought of it as "Astarius's place". I tried to get in through the stairs, but they did an Alice in Wonderland on me and changed and got smaller and smaller or I got bigger, and couldn't fit. So I tried to get in through another entrance, the wall opened up to reveal something that looked like a desk, and there were boxes of pens in UV pastels all laid out. I was trying to dive in through without messing up the order, and tried to dive in but it was a little solid and so I tried moving everything out of the way telekinetically and stacking it all to the side and diving it, for some reason I don't think I made it in.

The theme of todays dreams were catastrophes.

I am riding a bike with Marek and Martin. We are running away in front of something. Its at night, everything is dark. We come to some area that is surrounded by wire fences, but its all damaged and from the mark on the ground I can see that people were cycling and walking through the gaps in the fence. We ride in, but M&M are saying that the area is for depositing radioactive waste. There are trees around and behind them there is a large field looking like a dumping place. Its raised up some 2 meters or so. Guys dont want to be there and cycle away, but I want to have a look. I go on the field but there is nothing much to see. I get back to my bike and see that the tires are almost flat. I start pumping them up. I am not happy about it. The I hear some noise and look up. I see a wall, made of marble or so and to it there is a bed connected. It looks creepy. Its all set up and in the corners the are some columns. Before I start wondering how did it appear there, just above the bed the wall opens, like slides apart. There is a TV set with some news on. I watch the news and see the reporter talking about tornados in UK. There are images of the tornados and strong wind lifting various material from the ground. There is an image of a couple that is holding on to something. Then they are taken by the wind. But the couple is confessing, thus they must have survived, and the girl is describing how strong the wind is and how she tried to hold on to he boyfriend but he couldnt hold on to the pine or what ever it was. But they survived.

Next:
I am standing in the middle of a little square, with grass. Its raised up some 2 meters above the road level. I can se houses around. It all happens very quickly, I just appear in the middle of the scene. There is a large yellow crane-truck. (this must have projected from one of the previous days as I saw one of those cranes when I was running, it reminded me of my friend and I also wondered how it could lift such heavy loads). Next to the truck there is a green pillar and there is a woman on it some 3-4 m high. Then suddenly the truck starts moving forward, but not fluently. Jumping like. The woman starts screaming and banging on the truck. Suddenly as if I could see inside. There is a small child sitting and a man, but he seems to be asleep of dozing off behind the steering wheel. The child starts hitting him and he wakes up for a second. But the he falls asleep again and the crane keeps moving forward. It goes closer and closer to the edge of the square. I notice that the crane gid is expended and if the crane falls the gid will hit the house opposite. There is a pub of a house with a balcony. The gid will hit the balcony I can see it. Then the crane falls, just the front vaults over and the gid tip hits the balcony, but no one gets hurt.

Saturday 18th June 2011
I was sitting in my room in the university halls of residence with my sister. I suddenly felt blood seeping out of my nose and it gradually worsened.

I ran to the bathroom and let my nose bleed out into the sink; it showed no signs of stopping, so I gathered some tissue and held it to my nose. I took this chance to look into the mirror above the sink. My eyes were no longer their normal, dark green colour. They were an icy blue and it seemed to look like the colour was fading further.

It was then that I thought to myself "I'm dying."

Car Journey
Saturday 18th June 2011
It was late at night and I was gazing out of the car window to the starry sky as we drove along a motorway. I could only see a few stars in the sky, so my gaze fell back into the car.

However, I decided to look up again and the amount of stars multiplied and their light intensified. It was then I realised that I was dreaming. I sat still for a moment to compose myself and looked out of the windscreen of the car. Suddenly, everything started to fade. However, I managed to stabilise my surroundings and readied myself to fly out of the window. I began to float, but I woke up.

I remember three dreams, and each of them is centered around a certain pattern. The basic pattern was a continuous image with parts covered up by blocks that were all the same color.

1. My brother brings a movie to me and we decide to watch it. He puts it in the player, and I tell him that I've already seen most of it. When it loads up on the screen, it shows how much of the movie I've already seen. It displays a representation of the movie as something like a combination of a mural and sheet music. There were horizontal rows of images going down the screen, and so if you 'read' each line you could see what happened in the movie. However, a lot of it was blacked-out because I hadn't seen those parts. You'd think that if I hadn't seen the whole movie then I must have seen maybe the beginning, and then maybe some scenes from the middle or something, but the screen showed that I had seen one or two hundred tiny segments that couldn't have been more than a couple of seconds each, and they were scattered evenly over the whole duration of the movie. It looked kind of like the 'mural' was missing pixels.

2. I am thinking about my eyes. They are an unusual but kind of nice color of blue (my eyes are not blue irl) and in the dream I thought they looked kind of like that painting by Magritte:



I was travelling while I was thinking. It was sort of a combination of walking and falling, mainly forwards but pulled a little to the right as well. It felt like three different things:
1. Like I was in orbit around the sun
2. Like I was walking
3. This one's kind of hard to explain, but it felt like I was a bird of prey swooping down, except the whole scene was sideways. Kind of like if you were lying on your side so that the grass was on the right and the sky was on your left, and you saw a bird swoop but it looked like it was going right instead of down.

Anyway, I felt like I was in control (since I was walking), but I also felt really stylish because I was orbiting. I was 'swooping down' on some friends who I knew were around the corner, and I was thinking that they were going to think I was so cool when they saw me. But I was still thinking about my eyes, and I thought, what if I got my eyes painted (as in literally painting my eyeballs)? I thought that would be so cool. I was trying to decide what pattern to paint on them, and I settled on a checkerboard pattern where I would paint white squares that matched the white of my eye over the colored part of my eye. Then, as I pictured this, I scaled the blocks up and down, trying to decide what was the best size. When they were big, I thought it looked kind of retro. Then I made then shrink, and it started to resemble the 'nothing channel' on TV (I don't know what it's really called but I'm talking about the black and white fuzzy one). Finally they were too small to really be detectable but they made my eyes look glittery or sparkly. I liked all of them but decided on the glittery one.

(This is the second time I have dreamed about having different patterns on my eyes)



3. I am cooking a pie with my sister. I walk in the kitchen as she pulls it out of the oven. For some reason we baked it without crust on top. I don't know what kind of pie it was, but it was kind of bluish-purplish-blackish. I got little crust squares and placed them in the checkerboard pattern on top of the pie.

I. “Basketball Game and/or Melon Suit”

I remember this dream being quite detailed and vivid, however I woke up having to urinate very badly so I did not write down enough reminders. All I remember is that I was playing on a basketball team with E.D, who was the “star” of the team. I have not been on a basketball team in physical reality since the 8th grade. It took place in a combination of the AHS field house and the gym of the same school. I remember a remark being made during a time-out about my lack of skill/height.

I cannot determine if this is a different dream or just a non-sequitur. I have just been driving in a golf cart with Z.A, and we pull up at a house. I cannot remember if it’s a house on the island where I’m playing my current gig or if it’s the house I grew up in. It’s nighttime. As I get out of the golf cart I ask him what he’s going to think of my melon suit. I phrase the question in future tense like that, but I observe at the same time I’m already wearing this “melon suit”, which seems to basically just be me somehow completely covered in watermelon. It’s in my mouth as well, and it causes me to talk with a heavy lisp. He laughs, seeming to think it’s a funny idea but not overly excited about it.

Right before I wake up there is something going on concerning the same gig. I need to either find or make something for C.I but I really cannot grasp the image at all. End of recall.

I recall seeing a clown with us, while I was with friends, in a gazebo or "umbrella" area, which is dark like night, but I can see with some white light coming from a lamp post. The shadows still make it hard to see. I felt a sense of rejection, and reminds me of our old dormitory.

We were traveling on a boat/barge; old ones, made out of wood, not metal. We were in a war of sorts. I think there were fewer of us left. I see a formation of tanks, the size of blocks, and I vaguely recall staring at them as they transform, trying to figure out if it was a dream, but then it all became hazy. A friend is commanding the small tanks.

I recall seeing a restaurant, and a cruise.

5:OO Was on the computer on a site that looks like dv but im not there for help with a dream, instead im getting help with some video game. The game is a fighting game and the only character i rem you can choose from is buster from arrested development.(Haha) Im getting help by using some chat/game where you bounce around side scrolling, using an emoticon, the level looks like something from little big planet.

Im not using an emoticon in the dream but someone else is, they are leading the way with a big smiley, my char is just some little animated figure with a blue shirt. At some point we are no longer getting help with the game but the other emoticon assumes like a guardian role and starts trying to lead me to a safe in the game. They dont say it but in the dream i know they want to lock me in the safe or something, it seems the guardian figure is upset with me for smoking.

LUCID 7:14 At the park with my mom and sister and we are just walking around exploring. There are some other people walking around the park too, a random group of dudes that look a bit younger than me, like still in high school. I look at my hand to do a reality check and i notice my pinky finger is coming off of another finger like an extension. I know im dreaming but do a reality check again anyway, interestingly it doesnt work so well the second time, looks like i have 5 fingers, but im already convinced.

I yell this is a dream and I start rubbing my hands together like crazy just reallly focusing on what it feels like and trying to stabilize the dream. I rem feeling the tension as they rubbed together pretty intensely, so much so that i didnt even feel the rest of my body. I rem my goal is to eat something so i start to look around and consider how i should approach it.

I walk to the top of a small hill and notice the group from before walking through the park. One of them turns and looks at me strange, i think because im still rubbing my hands together. Unfortunately for some reason I wake up here. I rem how strange it felt to be standing in a park one second and then the next to be staring into nothingness and realize its your own eyelids. I didnt really try a DEILD but instead fell back to sleep while thinking about this dream. I started dreaming again but this time non lucid.

*I have a false awakening in some room, looks like a really nice hotel room. I leave the room and find my brother in a room very similar to our living room. I go talk to him and i tell him that i had a lucid dream like 30 min ago, thinking i had just woken from the previous dream. I told him it was cool but really short and he said thats cool. I was kind of confused when i woke from all of this and i forgot some of the fa trying to rem my lucid.

*I rem being outside someones house, a house i dont recognize and just walking around on the deck. They have a bunch of wild rabbits with really long tails, in the dream i was calling them wild hares. I rem seeing one run under the deck and another following it but choosing to go on top of the deck instead, it stops for a moment to look for its friend and then continues on across the deck. It had brown and white spots.

I was at school, and I needed to go to a classroom,. On my way there, I saw some people crowding around a bench. Girl from other dreams was on that bench. I didn't care much about that so I went to class, and saw that there was a different teacher, so I came to the conclusion that my teacher wasn't in that day. I decided to wash my hands, because I needed to. I opened the door and there was a whole new room in it's place, and there was my normal teacher. At this moment I became lucid. I was confused and left that room and decided to ask a DC what was up with that room, so I asked a teacher, they said that the school needed more facilities. I decided to go into that room, spoke to the teacher, and noticed that there was peoples bags at all of the tables, but no people. The only other person in that class was another student. I sat down then woke up.

i dont remember much , but my derams were awesome...

so what i remember is there was concerts everywhere or so,and in 1 moment i saw 2Pac
i was like woot...
and he jumping in the scene and started with "Come with me ... Hailiy mary like run quicksy" ....

too bad i ddint writted alot when i woke up .. but coool dreamz

I remember i was sitting in perhaps a subway tunnel with my mother, and there were homeless asking for money. We gave some quarters to a woman, and next thing i know we are being arrested by some animal pound. We ended up in this wierd cell with people who seemed to be doing experiments on us. We had tp keep washing the ceiling and floor or they would punish us. One time we tried to escape but they dropped panels in the floor and some people fell to thier death. Another time some of the people in the cells on the side dropped down and tried to pop out of the walls to scare our captor. At some points we seemed human, other points we were dogs or other animals. There was also a mobster with me who i befriended. He was talking about how he used to run guns, and he had hidden them in my trunk and that's why i was arrested.

I had another dream mentioning a country, Russia.

Type: Regular Dream.
Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Gonna start using this, I think I got it from Puffin, great idea.

I was working for a charity at a carnival and we were selling carnival food (popcorn, cotton candy, etc) for our charity which was some kind of help for little children who are sick. I was the one out in the crowd trying to convince people to donate. A couple came up to me the woman was in a white fuax fur coat and she had platinum hair. She said "Hello" in a thick Russian accent and the man behind her said also in a thick Russian accent, something like "I have a check for you." I looked at it and could clearly make out the numbers 15,000 and then saw the bank stamp mark on it which lets you know the moneys in the bank, I was happy to get such a good donation.

I yelled back at our helpers and a few of the customers getting stuff at our stand, "Hey everybody I got a check for fifteen thousand dollars!"
They all cheered!

(So much for not being able to read small numbers in a dream, that could have given me a clue.)

I was walking around an outdoor market and saw an old man running, I felt he was running in a marathon. I knew I could beat him and started running too right through the market! I blew past gramps and still had no tiredness at all, it was like I wasn't even running! I thought, with no tiredness, I have real potential in this sport! I came to a rest stop station which was a tall food cart with all kinds of water bottles and stuff for the runners it was on a corner of stalls in this outdoor market. The guy watching over the cart and working for the race promoters, gave me a water bottle.

"Thanks" I said and took a sip.

He nodded his head and thought that was all I should get.
I asked 'why' in my thoughts and his thoughts told me 'You need to sign the clip board.'

I took the clipboard and looked at it and asked in my thoughts what this did?

"You sign for the items you want to see at the next rest station."

I was not sure what this was all about so I just signed my name and started running. Just then the old dude walked up seemingly not in any rush at all.

I ran till I was near a pond and saw another food cart. The guy minding the cart handed me the bottle of water and a white towel. His thoughts indicated that I had signed for these things at the last station, I played along but found I was not tired at all nor thirsty! I dabbed my head with the towel a bit and put the stuff back on the rack.

Then I walked over to look into the pond which had a lot of dead brown vegetation in it sticking way up out of the water and koi were in the water swimming around. It was like a lake in a desert.

"I'm not interested in this race, maybe I'll finish running it some other time."

Woke up for the day.

(that was an odd marathon but still the organizing of the things you got are actually better than anything I have ever seen in waking life!)
