non-lucid

I am in the town where I grew up (bramcote, nottingham) I remember rounding a corner that was on my school route and seeing my old school, people were flocking to it, soooo many people, it was mental. I watched a car drive up and struggle through the masses, i think to myself "how does someone drive through THAT!?"

I look down and realise i am in my car, i instantly wish i wasn't. i didnt want to try and drive through all those people.

All of a sudden i am on school grounds i enter through two red double doors and walk through another set of doors to the foyer. Im looking around as i walk, i can see the hall and i can see people sitting in reception, they are talking about me. i make my way over to the college students common room, nobody is there. i walk to the art block and there is a class filing in as i arrive, i wander if it is mine?
I find the teacher and to my surprise she is smokin' hot, Bright red, long hair, glasses, pale skin... Petite body. I look her up and down and smile, and start asking her who is in her class. I realise that this is not my class and make an excuse to get away, she follows me outside smiling and asks me to do a favour for her, to get get something. I tell her "if i have a free period, and it turns out i have no lesson i definitely will" She smile and winks at me, I think to myself "omg!", smile and walk away.

I decide to head over to the other side of school. i walk past the science block and over to the tennis courts, im walking really slowly... i dont think i care how late i am. I bump into somebody that i do not know, he tells me im in his class and we are late for english, we'd better hurry. I tell him to "chill out". At this point i suddenly remembered a game that would be played at our school. Where an entire year (grade, or whatever) picked one person and chased them, when they caught up. they usually just piled on them (it was horrible and mean, i always hated it.) just as i was thinking about the game, a fight broke out up on the hill, just pasts the tennis courts im in now. I could see it clearly. One of the girls broke off from the group and within seconds was being chased by a huge crowd of people. I giggle and follow this guy to our class.

To get there we must walk up soooo many stairs, it was just like my school. although, our english class was taking place on the maths floor, which i thought was strange at the time.

As we entered the classroom the teacher was distracted, we slip into the room undetected and find seats. I see a really nice looking girl who smiles at me, shes really pretty but nobody seems to notice her. I smile back, she blushes.
The teacher introduces himself (this wasnt my old english teacher, somebody else, a man, around 45ish)
I zone out and do no work for the entire lesson and all of a sudden its over, hes coming round to check everyones work. I panick. He comes to me and i flinch as he picks up my workbook. "You've done nothing all lesson!!!" he shouts. I quickly reply "i know, but i was planning on doing this at home".
He lets me off and i look up and see the girl again, this time i smile first, i say goodbye. She just smiles at me.

i left school and it was suddenly night, i was at a house party and i was trying to score some weed. All that was available were harder drugs and i didnt want to take them.
I walk inside a house, the room is small, with a little railing, i notice that there are stairs going....down? this whole house it turns out, was a HUGE underground complex, though the floor was sometimes un-level like a funhouse or something, there were many sections to this house and the deepest one was the size of a shopping centre. It was crammed with people. i manage to score some weed, im really happy about that and just want to leave this weird place now.

I walk out of the door, its dark and raining... On the way out i see a girl, she introduces herself and is quite friendly at first. She begins preaching about god and christianity... I didnt like this. ( i believe a person believes what he or she believes and you shouldnt try to change their minds). After a while of me arguing against her random rants she seemed to be convinced that i was evil. We were walking on the pavement, i see the bricks of the houses we are walking past. ive finally had enough of this girl, and she seems to be getting more and more frightened of me. I decide to scare her a little so she will go away.
I say calmly and quietly so only she can hear, "Evil am i?..." i grin savagely and take a step towards her. She is startled by my sudden movement and backs out onto the road and looks terrified. at this point i cannot see myself but wander what i look like to make her look this scared. i think to myself that should be enough to make her leave me alone, but in the distance i see a huge SUV speeding up the road towards her. I take a step forward to try and pull her back to the pavement, back to safety. But she screams and jumps backwards. Right into the SUV's path... It hits her and there is blood everywhere. I didnt mean for this to happen and i was upset. I think to myself "OH SHIT!!!..." .... Then suddenly i don't care any more, i decide im taking too long. I want to get back to smoke my prize, and i need to meet someone.

- Suddenly its the next day, im at school again. This time i see an old school friend, lets call him S.F. i am so shocked to see him here that i instantly walk over and sit next to him. He is having an argument with another old school friend, B.F. (no relation) about some girl at that party i was at. I sit down and say hello.
I turn around and see the girl who always smiles at me, is sitting right behind me. She smiles, seductively at me this time, i smile back and wink but she blushes instantly. I smile again and turn around, not wanting to cause her embarrassment.

The lesson starts and we get into a debate (like we used to in my classes.) I notice that the teacher is getting really preachy again and it annoys me. I notice the similarity between him and the girl from after the party. The debate continues and i try to stay out of it (often my opinions are not the same as everyone elses in the class, which is true in the waking world, i tend to keep my opinions to myself)

The teacher starts pressing me about my beliefs and i tell him i do not want to discuss them, also that i shouldn't be forced to. The teacher angry and presses me further, i tell him "i dont believe in god!" - this is not entirely true, i believe in some higher entity but i dont think of it like the bible would describe - i see how angry he is at my statement, i smile and decide to take it further. "thats right, i dont believe in god and i think that religion is the main excuse when someone powerful decides that people are in his/her way and needs them dead! i admire religions like Buddhism and Hinduism as they are inherently peaceful.
Another kid in the class asks me "surely though, you dont think Christians are evil" i reply with "of course not, thats just the kind of generalisation i am dead against" i explain that im against the religion or its followers, i am against how the text can be perceived and used to slaughter thousands, just like in the crusades. Then i finish it off with "Besides, none of this matters, this is a dream anyway!" I look back at my teacher and give him a smug grin.
He screams with rage and lunges towards me. I have no clue what to do so i just LEG IT!
I smash through the classroom door, the teacher hot on my heals. I can hear him behind me. I shoulder-barge my way through the double doors that lead to the stairs. i think to myself " i need to get down the stairs quickly" i note that each flight of steps is quite high up. I reach the first step and leap, grabbing the railing for stability in the air. I land and turn, ready for the next set of steps. This time i decide to use the wall and run down that, so grabbing the railing again, i throw my legs from under me and use the wall to run down. I get down the stairs SO quickly, i can hear the teacher screaming in the distance. I get to the bottom of the stairs turn, and head for the red double doors i came through. i push my arms forward and the doors swing wide open, a bright white light blinds me and i wake up.

Even though in this dream i Said it was a dream, i wasn't actually lucid but was slightly aware the whole time.

Good morning, everybody.

Dream #1

I was in a big room like a school gym. But there were bookshelves on some of the walls. The floors were covered with something like different-colored exercise mats. The exercise mats were maybe 1 meter long, 500cm wide, and 3cm thick. They seemed to fit with each other like floor tiles. I stood right inside this room, on the right wall, right near a door.

I walked out of the room. I was now in a smaller room. There were a good amount of people in the room, all engaged in a number of tasks with each other. The room was lit only by greyish natural light from windows somewhere.

I sat down in a school-type chair in front of two girls who also sat in school chairs. The girls looked very serious, as though they were giving me a job interview. But they were really cute and couldn't have been more than 13 years old.

As part of whatever interview-like process this was, I began showing the girls how I could sing a song. The song sounded like "Drops of Jupiter," by Train. But it was an older song than that one. I'm pretty sure it was a real song, but I don't remember the song. As I sang the song, I heard/felt it pretty vividly.

I sang lyrics that I'm pretty sure didn't match the actual lyrics of the song (if it was real and it wasn't just "Drops of Jupiter"). I pretty much had the lyrics memorized. But I wasn't sure I was getting them right.

So I pulled a newspaper page out. The page had the song lyrics printed on it. Some of the lyrics were printed in bold, possibly to highlight really important parts or really smart words in the song.

I think there was a point when I realized I didn't have the song fully memorized. But if I looked just a little bit at the paper, I could sing a long string of words. So I felt pretty sure I'd have the song memorized soon.

When I woke up, I actually remembered the tune and a couple small phrases. But they all melted away.

(Side notes: I actually spent part of yesterday evening walking through town and memorizing the song "Kurumi," by Mr. Children. I've listened to and sung along with the song enough times that I almost had it memorized, anyway. I actually thought I did have it memorized. So I was a little frustrated to see how many times I actually had to look at the lyrics.

Although, whenever I get frustrated, I also wonder why I'm my age and still getting frustrated over a rock song. Ugh... immature?)

Tonight I dreamt that I was in a small concert hall with supposedly the rest of my school. The rest of my class was playing music, and I was swetting heavily. Kids in the back of the hall were yelling annoying comments.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! Had a couple of boring dreams last night.

04.30: Sleep

11.00: Dreams
*I'm at work and there's a fast flowing river nearby. I see some red plastic thingies floating around and decide to get them. I get in the water but don't expect it to be very deep. I fall over and is almost swept away. I grab the plastic and head back up.

Dream skips. I'm in the locker room with everyone. I turn the sauna on and everyone decides to get in. We fight over a spot and I get one at the top. I'm covering my body with a towel for some reason.

*I'm in my appartment. I step in something sticky outside of my closet. It's glue coming from the door. Monica comes over and we try to fix it. I have to glue a piece back but it won't stick. Four Linkin Park songs must be glued on there aswell, and I arrange them in order. When I touch the glue and put it on the songs, I can see who has downloaded them.

*I'm playing a real life version of WoW. I seem to be in a neighbourhood out on the country, and I can't find my way to where ever I was going. I take a road and can see several strong enemies up ahead. I just run through them on my horse but I get killed. I spawn at some big fountain and I accidentaly spawn up in the air, which makes me fall and die again. God damnit!

11.00: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 6½ hours

Supplements: Lots of alcohol

That's it! Lots of dream for so little sleep and alcohol. Must have hit the REM rebound caused by the alcohol, cool.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

Lots and lots of recall, all from last night / this morning.

Fragments:

- I was in a movie theater, but when I looked up at the schedule of movies, there were instead some lucid dreaming classes being advertised. Should have reality checked >_<

- I was watching Djokovic-Federer at the French Open. John McEnroe was commentating, and he said something like "The timing of Djokovic's push (his win streak) couldn't have come at a better time for Federer," in terms of motivating him to win. He then said he thought Federer would win it all.

- I had a dream I was wearing some sort of body armor.

- I had a dream where I was in a hotel, in a large room I was sharing with a few family members. I went out a sort of window/door into a balcony-alleyway, but after walking around I got lost and couldn't find my way back to my room. The rest of the dream was about my quest to find my room, but I only remember flashes. There was an atmosphere of great tension and mystery about the dream, as if something was really wrong, but I can't quite remember what was going on. I remember being in a long corridor of rooms with numbers, and I had to try to guess which was the right one based on some clues. I also ended up going in a room where there were many computers set up, and participating in a kind of contest there.



#999:
Date: April 2nd, 2011
Length: 4 minutes

I'm in a sort of game where I'm a bad guy being hunted by the inhabitants of an island. I have a couple powers to escape them, like short-range teleportation. They have various vehicles and guns, and I'm basically just running for my life the whole time. The island has two parts -- a village where most people live, and another area which is more remote and has sort of an observatory, partly floating on water, and a dock. It's very early morning.

I get chased through the village, then I'm nearly sandwiched between two small armies, but manage to evade them by teleporting. Progressively I start getting hurt more and more, until it looks like I'm going to be killed. Just at that moment, the sun rises fully and I suddenly gain mechanical wings. I activate them immediately and fly off a cliff, evading the villagers who are extremely angry I got away. I start flying towards the observatory, looking for a good place to hide.

I end up landing in the water, and the dream fades out here. I may have gotten slightly lucid for a few moments.




#1000!!!:
Date: April 2nd, 2011
Length: 4 minutes

I'm in a small plane that my friend is flying, even though he has no training in this. For some reason we're flying to some place that's actually really close by. Anyways, we fly over a highway, and the ride is really shaky -- my friend doesn't really seem to be a good pilot. I keep telling him to be careful and we avoid colliding into a few things, but then we suddenly come up on a tall building and crash into it, unable to pitch up fast enough.

We apparently have several "lives" though, so we end up starting over again. I think we crash again. The third time around, the plane is different, and we're with another friend. The plane now seems very makeshift, composed of a bunch of long pieces of cloth held together by ropes and the like. We're also much higher in the sky. For a while we fly smoothly, but then we start going in circles in the air. My two friends argue for a while about how to fly the plane, then things stabilize for a few moments.

Eventually, the plane starts falling apart for some reason. I find myself stuck on a cloth platform above the main section of the plane, where the other two are. The place I'm at is collapsing, so I need to jump and land below without missing or falling off. I'm quite scared, but I finally do it. I jump down, but I don't make it perfectly and find myself hanging on for dear life. For some reasons my friends are casually taking their time, attending to other things in the plane and letting me hang there for a while before helping me up. I don't recall much after that, I think we arrived above some sort of island. I wrote something here about become lucid also, but I don't recall that?


Ahh, 1000+ dreams. Really happy to have made it to this many, it's really nice to be able to go and look back at all these dreams, I can still remember most of them when I read them. Of course, there are many more to come, hopefully with greater frequency and quality of lucids!

Yesterday i watched a documentary on the History (such a bullshit channel) channel about giants in folklore. 2day i dreamed about giants. I have a cold also and i kept waking up at night. Used these opportunities to try and WILD everytime i woke up. No luck. Good dreams tho, been weeks since i had these vivid dreams.

I dreamed i was at my family for a birthday or something. I was standing and watching a documentary being played on TV about some kind of bird deep inside a cave. I was pretty captivated by this docu for some reason.


It kinda looked like this but more ninja-birthlike less wizardlike

I am standing outside my elementary school. I'm taking sprints to get some speed then i jump up and fly for some moments. I do this for a while then when i got to the end of the street i saw that bird from the documentary and it was carrying a beautiful Rainbow disk/ring. I thought he was gonna give it to me but then the bird threw the rainbow into the air . Over the building across the road, the bird followed it. Then i took a sprint again and prepared for lift-off. Only this time i can not fly anymore. I keep trying and trying. I lose grip on the dream and wake up. (totally non-lucid, thought it was real life)

I have a friend in reality that i'm pretty close with and we often talk about our dreams with eachother. One night she told me sometimes she has dreams where she's driving through the woods, not scared or alarmed in anyway, not on a dirt path through some trees.. just driving straight through the woods. And i realized that a few nights prior to our conversation i had a dream that i was in the car with her, and we weren't talking to eachother in the dream, but i remember looking around and we were driving through the woods. I could tell just by watching her drive in the dream that there was no reason to be alarmed, even though we were starting to go pretty fast and at points we were going airborne when she'd go over large hills or mounds.

I knew we had to have had the same dream because she described everything exactly as i remembered in the dream; she even mentioned a point where we were completly free falling, like we had drove off a cliff, but we weren't falling fast, and when we hit the bottom, it wasn't a hard thud, it was like we drifted down slowly and landed softly on the bottom..

I've never had someone else describe a dream i felt, so well. The only thing was, she said she didn't remember me being in the dream.. and we had discovered we both had the dream the same night (a few days before we talked about it) maybe she didn't know i was there in the dream because we didn't speak.. i didn't make myself known, i was simply along for the ride i guess and i just watched..

This dream seems familier. I'm in a workshop warehouse. I believe I'm a guitar tech or repair guy again. My boss and CoWorker are there too. I have a beautiful red guitar in my hands and i'm fixing it or putting it away. I'm walking out and I get on a boat and take it across a lake. I land at a small lake house but i dont think its mine. Someone is there and I'm trying to show them all of these cool secret passages but I can't fit. I see a movie preview type thing roll in my head. 2 guys and a girl are tied up but the guys escape and go get help for the girl. After this, i play basketball under a pink purple sky. DREAM END

Type: Regular dream.

Notes:
This week at school, I was using the school computers to make a powerpoint presentation for my Chemistry class. I finished a few of the slides on Monday and saved the file. Then I opened up the file on another computer and finished the rest of the presentation. When I went to present it yesterday for class, instead of giving me the finished version of the file, it gave me the version with only the first few slides. I didn't know how this happened and even now I don't know. This must have been the reason for the following dream.

A very short dream. I was my room, sitting on a plush, red, cube-shaped chair at my desk. The desk was fairly deep, black-stained wood, with metal handles for the two drawers on the left-hand side. My silver macbook pro was sitting on the center of the desk, and my printer was on the back left corner. Unlike in real life, there were no posters on the beige walls where the desk was positioned. There was no lamp, or photos... It was empty. There was nothing on the floor, either. The lighting in the room was a bit dim and moody.

I turned to the left, facing the door to my room. I expected the principal of my school to walk in at any moment. However, she was already in the room; she was sitting on a regular fold-out plastic and metal chair.

"Finally, you're here," I told her, completely ignoring how I'd been waiting for her to arrive despite the fact she was already in my bedroom. "I've been having problems with my files at school. You have to call the I.T. guys to come over here and see what the problem is."

That's all I remember.

'm at my old middle school. I'm walking around the stage becuase I feel like i'm either performing or i'm a guitar tech for someone. I think I may have been a tech for Steve Vai (which is pretty cool). The show is starting, but I was too busy jammin before hand. Steve yells at me to get his gear up on stage, so I scramble to grab amps and stack them onstage.

As i'm doing this, there are two other people playing, one has a white guitar but I don't know who either of them are. The next trip I make backstage, I disappear and am in the mouth of a cave where a troll in the style of World of Warcraft asks me if I have found his ring yet. His name doesn't come to mind but It began with an "H", I know that. I reply "no" and I'll get it for you later. he storms off into the cave. i decide to follow him. I turn a corner to see a tall Aztec pyramid with two hot baths midway up at either side.

I climb into one bath only to see one of my friends is in the bath opposite myself. We are relaxing and talking when a very Republican person who dislikes me walks in between us and starts calling us liberals. Then the dream ends as I fall out of the tub to fight him.

Edit: I remember playing warcraft at her house and I was trying to log in with my old character...someone was going to go out and buy more weed, and I still had a lot on me....I don't smoke so I didn't know how/why I had the stuff on me. Anyways, they head out and it's me and her......and I think there's a scene change that's happening......................................... ....



So...I'm outside with M, and two other guys....or maybe I'm indoors, I can't tell...scenery keeps changing. She's sitting on a chair next to mine, and leaning on me. I think she's drunk, and she wants me to take her to bed. We walk through an area that looks sort of like my back yard at points, and then when we round the corner, the place is totally different.

I cant really describe the way this house/trailer/something is set up, but it's elevated and the stairs lead to bare ground, and she has tons of dogs down here. These dogs look effing tough...like mutated beasts...like mixed with goat, dog, and just huge. They're all barking and growling. I'm walking with her daughter, and I put her on the bed.....I don't even know how she got in my arms. She takes me over to see them, and they basically take up the bottom section of what would be the first floor of the house, but it's nearly completely open but a wire fence keeps them inside. I think the house is stilted above ground by about half a floor.

Anyways...we go see them, and they're barking and going crazy....first thing I'm thinking is I'm dead, but they all recognize me some kinda way, and they're all nice. I leave but I don't know why. I find myself in the desert....or maybe everything is just post apocalyptic. There's sand everywhere, and the sky is clear. (it was night earlier)

There are these demons that are after me. Well....not really me, but they know I'll lead them to what they need to find. I'm fighting with one, and all my moves don't have any effect on them. I even took his weapons and tried to use them, and I think it made it worse. Another one popped up and told the one I was fighting to try to learn more skills than just invincibility. He picked up a pebble, and flicked it, and it traveled the speed of a bullet. I dodged it, and someone in the crowd behind me got killed.


(Oh yeah, there was a crowd behind me watching me fight theses guys because I think I was the only one to ever stand up to them)

Anyways, I knew I wasn't going to beat them, so I headed off...running and moon jumping, and I could overhear them saying my powers haven't reached their full potential, and they were saying they knew that I knew the location of the girl. They were also after some weapon that I should have had.....


Recall was a bit jumbled, but this dream was interesting as all get out Time travel/alternate universe sort of thing played some kinda role in it...I remember one of the DC's saying something to the lines that I didn't know anything when i first arrived. Then I remembered something about traveling all over the world, learning things in such an inhumanly manner.

The dream started in my old Fairwood house again, a guy from school named Al walked in that I hadn't seen in a long time. He walked in with a weird looking old man, he looked like a Sorcerer. He proceed to say that he was, and that he could work a miracle for us. My Mom walked in and started chatting with him, she then asked if he could bring our dog back to life which had died. He said Yes come watch me now, he walked onto the back patio while we stayed on the edge of the sliding door way. He grabbed a cardboard box from the recycle bin and put it on top of a pedestal. He then started chanting strange words and sounds were amplifying around me. He was also waving his hands over the box all of the sudden the box started to spin and multiply. It went from one box to a connection of about 20 it looked like a flower spinning in a circle on top of the pedestal. The boxes were forming different shapes and spinning in perfect motion, sparks came off and other colors. Then my dog appeared to me right in the middle of the boxes, I touched him once and was kinda freaked out. He made other things appear but the only other one I can remember is a huge black majestic horse. When I looked at Al again his hair turned to a frosted blonde color.
I went back inside because I was a little freaked out, I was on my Dish Satellite TV. I guess you could earn credits by doing certain tasks on it and buy things on the TV, I did a few and earned 3 credits. End of dream ;p

I had hung out at my friend's house all day, hanging out with a group of my friends from high school. Two of my former friends from high school asked if they could borrow my hookah and for some reason I said yes, so they took it on a camping trip for the weekend. After they had left, everybody had gotten dressed up in fancy clothes and we were talking about who wanted to go out to dinner with their family and who wanted to stay behind. On of my friends asked another friend who lived at their place if he wanted to go. I then noticed my straight edge friends bringing over beers, saying we were going to get drunk while they were out. I then woke up.

(Date: Couple weeks ago)

I dreamt that I was in the basement of my school, where a laboratory had taken it's place in my dream. I watched through grates as a monster broke loose.
How it looked?

Pretty much like a comodo varan.

I watched as it grew larger, the more it ate. I ran up the stairs, out of the basement, and the dream skipped over the part where I would run to my classroom. I warned everyone in there, but they didn't seem to take notice. I thought 'screw you' and ran outside to warn other people. First when a loud roar sounded and the ground rumbled, people began to fear and take me seriously. I told them to flee and stayed for a little while longer.
Then, as another roar sounded and another rumble shook, I fled for my life.
I ran up a road going north, then turned east and made it to a part of the city that didn't exist. The dream made that part up for me. A suburb, with tall bushes, fences and gates. I needed to climb over one gate, but a girl named Katja, from my parallel class, which I have no further relation to, asked "need help?" with a smirk, and opened the gate for me. How she did, I do not know.
Behind the gate was two dogs leashed to something, so they could not reach me, but I could not get past. I needed to get past. And I had to get past fast. The comodo varan had grown monstrous and roared higher and higher, and the rumbles got bigger. Through the whole escape, the comodo varan got closer.
I climbed up the tall bush/fence to the left, then balanced my way past the dogs. As I got down, I ran to a forest, which I have never seen before in my life. A guy from my class and a guy from a school close to mine were walking on the forest path. I walked with them for a moment, but then continued to run on my own.

What happened then is a mystery.

First dream:

I'm at a basketball court, and it looks like I'm at a school. People are playing basketball, and some are watching. Some guy asks me if he can get a cigerette from me, and I give him one. I walk home, and get info my appartment. It's filled with my friends.

And then it got interesting. The past week, I've had my cellphone beep every 30 minutes, and whenever it did, I would do a RC. So when I got into my appartment, and closed the door, one of my friends asked me to open the door again, so he could hear when my phone would beep!

Unfortunately, I didn't pick up on this

Second dream:

I'm at a party in my old town, and lots of my friends are there. We are having some sort of LAN party out in the garden, but we can't get the network to work propperly. We decide to drink instead, and after a while everyone goes home, and alot of them hide booze in some bamboo bushes.
