non-lucid

Last night a lot of my dreams focused around my school, most of them based at night. These are the various dreams I remember, though I'm not sure where they separate and where the others begin.
My class was working on some sort of a math problem, involving a map, or a street directory. We worked for a while on this question, and eventually figured out from a picture, and the map where my maths teacher lived. My vision then skipped to a first person view, standing infront of a mid-size boat, in a drive way on a cloudy day. It was under some sort of tin roof that covered the drive way, and I think the ground was pebble-crete.
I then return to the classroom, where my maths teacher said
"Gee, I really need to get my son to change his profile picture"

My next dream occurs in another room in the same block. The SRC was having some sort of a large party in the class room, organised by my favorite science teacher. It was night again, very dark outside, and perhaps raining.This would match the weather of last night, raining the entire night, loved it! I walked into the classroom, even though I'm not part of the SRC, sat down and ate some of their food and talked to the people there. I remember the teacher being okay with me there, but I think I decided to leave anyway.

Next memory picks up in another class room, again in the same block, at night, dark and raining. We're in science, watching a video on a TV in the corner of the classroom. The lights are off, and the light comes from the TV. The video is about sex education, but was terribly incorrect. I remember at the end of the video it described the g-spot as some form of living organism, like a flea or a flat beetle, and showed a picture in x-ray colours of the beetle. I remember thinking about "Haha, I remember that little guy!"

As the video ended, I woke up, but transitioned very slowly. If I had remembered when I realised I was awake, and not dreaming anymore, I would have layed still and tried to DEILD. Instead I realised I had moved, and began writing in my DJ about these dreams.

Dream Journal #21, May 24th 2011

My dream recall is real shit right now.. I don’t know why. Maybe because I’m not trying as hard? Blah. Well I only remember dream fragments at the moment.

First fragment I remember was that I dreamt that hero had died already, and he was replaced by a bird. That bird lived in the same cage as hero. The bird loved alcoholic drinks and we would give him like whiskey to get him to go into the cage lol. There was this one part where I gave him alcohol but I forgot to tell him to go to the cage and he went outside. I was like ah shit, so I gave him more alcohol to go into the cage. I then woke up? It may have been an FA or a real awakening, I don’t remember, but I woke up and I was like… man, I miss Hero. Then I was like, wait, wtf? When did Hero die? I was very confused and I thought I was dreaming so I did a reality check (noseplug/clock) and it failed. I then concluded Hero was definitely still alive and that bird was a dream.

Second sort of fragment I remember, was me being on a fucking mission. Like CIA stuff lol, except it was with my family I believe. I’m still not sure what it was about… but I remember me and my dad flying in the air with parachutes trying to land at a “recovery” point. When we landed, it goes weird from there. There were “openable gates” and we opened them and there were like regular civilians there, and I think we were showing something off? (Maybe the bird… ) That’s all I rememeber. Oh and the weather was very stormy and windy. Oh.. and I also think I remember dreaming about spongebob squarepants? wtf. He was surfing like 50 ft tides and 200ft tides or something. Or maybe that was me. Anyways, I’m definitely not trying to remember my dreams.. I clearly could remember a whole plot if I wanted to (Look up). Time to WBTB

Third fragment was me watching a movie with some random friends? I went into some random house in my random neighborhood, I was waiting for someone for some reason. I forgot what I did, but I ended up on a couch watching a movie. I didn’t even pay attention to who sat next to me. Then, someone puts their arm over my shoulder, and he’s like “Oh, sorry my bad. What’s up?” I look over and it’s Frankie lol wtf? I’m not sure if Katrina was on the other side, but it was just odd that Frankie was next to me. We then talked about some stuff I don’t remember, and I think the dream ended there.

After WBTB:

Nothing -.-

Dream - Lucid

Didn't sleep much last night, but still managed to have a dream.

I was staying in a hotel room by myself for some reason. I remember brushing my teeth with extremely minty toothpaste. The area by the sink was covered in my things.

I then remember my parents and brother coming home from vacation (my mom and bro just came back today in waking life). I was trying to tell them about how much pain I was in (I'm in a lot of pain right now in waking life for some unknown reason). They were all very drunk, and didn't care about what I had to say. I kept getting really frustrated with them, trying to tell them, but they were just laughing and carrying on about who knows what, pretty much completely ignoring me.

I remember then being in my parents' room at my house. My whole family was in there, and Dakota was there too. They were still very drunk. My mom pulled out a pack of Marlboro Menthols (mom doesn't smoke in waking life, she hates that I do it). She asked me if I wanted a cigarette and that we could talk. I got mad at her for smoking, and didn't want to talk anymore because she didn't listen the first time.

I then remember standing outside my hotel room. The wall was knocked out of it, so I could see inside. I was puzzled for a minute, wondering why it was this way...I was very close to lucidity, but I have no idea what got me out of it. I remember seeing a bunch of my stuff everywhere, like folded up pairs of pants and stuff. It was a mess. I hoped no one stole anything out of there. I also remember seeing my mom with the cigarettes again. She was a little more sober this time.

Hate to waste a good dream entry...

I was in a gym with a bunch of others with basketballs. I told them we should play knock-out.

I probably wouldn't have even remembered this if a coworker hadn't mentioned playing a little bball. I hate not remembering my dreams. Stupid jobs.

I mean, does America really need double stack burgers and "sea-salt natural cut" fries ?
I could be dreaming.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! Did some mantras before going to bed last night, and it paid off! I had another Lucid finally, it's been almost two weeks since last time. Never underestimate the power of MILD.

22.10: Sleep

05.10: Evil kids won't leave me alone MILD
I'm in my mom's house. My mom's upset for some reason and she keeps yelling at me. I yell back. She walks around the room and starts yelling again. I run up to her and yell the same words back in her face and we both start laughing. She seems to have a serious mental illness. Her dog Igor and my grandma's dog Lady starts wrestling on the floor. My dad cheers them on. I can hear my brother coming home and my mom starts yelling again. "You are not allowed to go into the sauna wet, only dry! I don't want to see any water at all!"

Dream skip. Not sure how I ended up infront of the house, but I'm lucid and I'm holding my hands up. The house is on fire. I focus and make the fire stronger by will.

Dream skip. I wake up in my bed. I look at the time, 09.30. "Strange, I've only slept for a few minutes since going back to sleep." I get up and remove some keys from my key hanger which doesn't really exist. It's crooked aswell and I start touching it.

I turn lucid just like that. "Cool, two lucids in one night!" I say out loud.

Dream skip. I'm walking down a path in the middle of a neighbourhood. There's a pine hedge all around me when I spot an outdoors toilet. I get in and do my thing, I look down at my hand. I count eight fingers or more and have to recount them after "feeling" the dream a bit, it's too real to be a dream.

Yup, I'm dreaming alright, sweet! Two kids show up, apparently I forgot to close the door, and when I look around I notice there are no walls. I'm still doing the number two though. The boys seems to be curious, a brown haired one around six and a white haired one around ten. I get a brilliant idea. "So, how does it feel to be a dream character, a part of me?" Halfway through the question, the white haired boy starts grinning and I can see his entire mouth is filled with pointy teeth, he looks quite evil.



He hesitates for a moment before replying. "You should ask Linus." That's a weird answer. "Linus who?" I say, and say a coworkers full name. "Yeah him, he's going to make a list." I have no idea what he's talking about and I keep on taking my crap, somehow it never is enough. We talk about something more but I can't recall what, all of a sudden the dream collapses around me and everything goes black.

I focus with all my might on the ground. I rub it with my hands and a sliver of vision returns. My vision gets better by the second and soon I'm back fully. "Gotta focus on the dream boys!" I say and do a noseplug RC, cool I can breathe. I look at the different plants around me, everything looks greener than in real life. I try to forget about my sleeping body.

All of a sudden everyone starts running away and a small kid in a dark red robe with the hoodie pulled up appears. I'm in some kind of tag game and I start running. I run around the nearest house and stop at the back. The kid comes up and I've had enough of that evil little brat, getting chased in a Lucid sucks. I grab the kid by his throat and lift him up. I enter the door next to me and a man in his fifties, trying to fend off another kid, tries to stab me with a knife.

I grab the knife inches from my face with telekinesis and the man is paralysed with fear. I forget about the kid I was holding as I enter the living room. Seems like there is another kid in here, harrassing the woman. I decide to show off my powers and make the knife spin around a bit, aswell as an unopened beer. I try to open the beer with the knife but I break away the metal thingy. I stab the beer and take a sip.

The woman is standing in the stairs, just as afraid as her husband was. I've got a firm hold on her leather bag with telekinesis as I make the knife spin around her head, very close to her eye. Her bag is made up of strange patterns and black beads. I read the bag and from it I get that she has had pheasant for lunch. My alarm wakes me up.

05.10: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 7 hours

Supplements: None

That's it! My recall of the first part wasn't very good, I couldn't get more than a few scenes here and there and I have a hard time connecting the dots. Anyways it was cool to have another Lucid again, next time I'll try to focus on my "Fight" task.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

I was in a Medium size venue. Maybe felt like Small's

Tomas had drums set up. They were Evans drums from Hms. The re shells with the white snare I think.

Tomas kept playing drum fills that seemed pretty good. He kept hitting the rims though soni went about moving the drums a bit so he didn't.

While doing this it felt like everyone left even though I'm pretty sure it was just me and home the whole time.

He had some sort of yellow blast block/cowbell type thing. But it had a drum head on it.

I thought is was cool so I messed around a bit with it. I was moving the drums still. And woke up.

Recalled only 1 extremely vivid and long dream last night, I know that I ahd more extremely vivid dreams, but my sleep cycle got the better of me and I lost them.

I was running around the back of my house, and I was being chased fiercly by the bad guys. I was some sort of catalyst that they needed for their plan. My friend sacrificed himself to allow me to make it to safety. They were about to catch me but i used a technique like shunpo to jump ahead and reach the house. When I was inside the dream faded.

Vividness: 9/10
Realism: 6/10
Lucid Aids: None
I will probably have more luck today as I am less tired and I can do a mantra before bed

VIVIDNESS was like 70%
and LUCIDNESS was like 30%

KarLi

The first two dreams were extremely vivid and I remembered them for a long time after waking up. Remembering my third dream involved me looking at my girlfriend's iPod and seeing the band name Agalloch. As soon as I saw the name, the entire dream came flooding back to me. It really makes me wonder what other kinds of dreams I may have no memory of, but would immediately have remembered if I had some sort of cue.

I was with a battalion of battle droids (Star Wars) and our job was to exterminate some kind of beast from a cavern below us. I'm pretty sure the dream was in a first-person shooter kind of perspective, like I was playing a game.Anyway, the cave entrance was a hollowed out tree. When we walked in, we were attacked by these four legged, green horned beasts. I believe all the droids were destroyed and I was the only one left of the squad when I jumped down into the cavern below. It was too dark to really see, but somehow the room became lit and like 5 of those horned beasts were in front of me. After shotgunning them all down, one large purple beast (which resembled that of an antlion guard from Half-Life 2) came around the corner. There was some kind of tank beside me that I hopped inside of, and after figuring out how to control it, nearly killed the beast. The tank had taken a beating though, so I thought it best to hop out of it and shoot the thing down. After I killed it, my attention was turned to a large square block of bricks in the middle of the room. The walls of the bricks slowly fell to reveal what looked like some wall textures from the game DOOM. I descended further down in an area where the block has disappeared, and I guess I played a level or two of DOOM.

The second dream I had involved my dad and I cleaning what looked to be the inside of an Egyptian pyramid or tomb. I was mopping with a liquid that was the colored of water after you spill some blood into it. Once on the floor, this stuff dried very quick and disappeared, which was odd. My father was on the talking on the phone to someone about how I was lazy and good-for-nothing (despite me doing the cleaning and him being on the phone). After hearing him talk about me for so long, I confronted him angrily and we got into an argument. Apparently I made the front page of the school news paper for being laziest kid of my class or something. We wound up in a very large burial chamber with a statue of a Sphinx in the middle. At one point, my aunt Kelly came in, defending me in the argument.

The last dream I remember involved me being a third guitarist for the band Agalloch. We were about to play an encore when John Haughm (The frontman) said "And now we're going to play a song we call (Something along the lines of) Kiss of the Midwinter Bluejays." I was like what the fuck? Isn't it Ghost of the Midwinter Fires? I guess this new song was supposed to start off with guitar, because john looked to me for the cue to start, and I just stared blankly at the audience. I decided to start off playing "In the Arms of Our Pale Companions" instead.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Dark Car Ride:

I was walking to my friends car after school was over. It was parked in a new lot that I don't remember the school having. By the time I got to it, it was raining extremely hard- and it got extremely dark out (but its not like it took a while to ever get there).

His car was brown and really beat up, in the dream. I got into the passenger side and he started to drive towards the exit. He has to drive overly slow so he wouldn't hit anyone. For some reason, his car lights weren't on. As we got onto the main road, the dream started to go completely black.

The dream went black and I jumped into another dream.

Saucy Muffins:

I was in a new dream, still at school, walking towards the gym. I reached into my pocket and realized that I only had $2. If I wanted a muffin for lunch, I would had to get it now before they were all gone (which is true, all the muffins are gone by lunch, and they are $1 each so in the dream I was planning on getting two). I walked down to the cafeteria and it was really dark outside now, although it was bright when I was walking to the gym. I went in side and asked the lady where the muffins were. I then asked for a plain one and pointed to a chocolate one. She gave me the plain one and then she gave me this weird looking one that had pecans on the top. She started to pour this sauce over the top of it. I'm really disgusted over how sugary it looks. I said "I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but I didn't want that one". She said "Oh ok, just tell me whatever you want I can get it for you.... Anything....". I replied "I really just want the chocolate muffin".

End of dream. I can't remember if I woke up or what happened.

Can't remember much last night. It was a kind of sleepless night too, I had a bad stomach ache.

But I DO remember being in a corner on a bed and a giant "circley" window on the wall. One of my friends placed me there. Like the Sims. Lol.

I was in some kind of warehouse, which was filled with intricate children's play equipment. It was all constructed of soft, blue tunnels. The tunnels felt like some sort of puzzle. I passed a couple of girls from my school who are in younger grades, they were coming out as I was going in. I remember being in the tunnels for quite a while, navigating around and finding my way.

There were tight spots, where I didn't fit the tunnel, but I didn't panic and either continued or found a different path. I believe I found my way out, and was crouching on top of a platform ontop of a tall pole, looking down at a few boys from my school, who dared me to go back in and jump. I went back in, and jumped into a deep pool of water at the bottom of a long vertical tube. In trying to find my way back out, I found a room which didn't use regular gravity. It was covered in simple looking alien organisms, which were sucking me towards them. As I got closer, I touched a red light on one, turning them all off, and proceeded to use them as something to bounce on to navigate my way to the top of the area without gravity. Climbing around the corner at the top was hard, and I had to lift myself sideways, which somehow put me on another area which was horizontal, and returned gravity to normal without a noticeable shift.

23rd May 2011

Notes| Dream

I had no recall during the 21st and 22nd..

Apparently there were vampires living under the soil in my backyard.. Some asian spiritual people/exorcists came. Seeing as it was still bright outside, they went to spray holy water on the soil. The exorcists armed themselves with silver blades of some type.. (very much like katanas but very slightly thicker). I asked for a katana in case one of the vampires got past their defend, it was very light.
As they were getting ready to face the vampires, a male and female (both in their late teens) stood in front of the garage door (?) and started playing on an instrument what i can only describe as Asian version of a violin. Instead of having nylon(I don't know much about violins) strings, it was strung with what seemed to be thick rubber.
Integrated into the side of my house was a bus full of high schoolers (no idea why). I climbed into the bus, watching from the windows into backyard. "Here they come.." I said to everyone on the bus.
The I heard music played from the violins followed by a sharp scream. The vampires had come out.. A vampire with black hair and black trench coat flew into the bus and stuck his fangs into the girl in front of me. Instinctively I stepped forward with katana in hand and went for an exorcism head lob.. the katana did about as much as chisel at his neck. The vampire looked up at me and leapt at me. I blocked with the katana but he was way too strong.
I ran out the bus and fled. He chased. I sprinted into my room and grab a Gameboy Advance off my bed.. just as the vampire was about to strike at me, i offered to vs him. (WHAT ON EARTH) He accepted my offer and left my room (phew).
I jumped out of my bedroom window and climbed over the fence in my backyard, running up the driveway of my neighbors house for help. The house was.. different. It was like construction was being made on it with fluorescent orange tape around areas. I climbed up the stairs (they don't actually have stairs at the front of their house..) and just walked into the house. I looked out the window into the backyard of my house-

Good morning, everybody.

Dream #1

I was in a house all by myself. The house was one story. The living room was huge, but it was extremely cluttered, as if laundry and blankets were strewn everywhere. It was early morning and dark.

My mother and the rest of the family had left the house some time ago. They had probably left for at least a few days. I had the house all to myself. I didn't live here with my family, but I was "in town" for a few days.

I walked into a bedroom which was just off from the living room and right next to the front door of the house. The room was really small, maybe twice as big as the small bed inside it. It was also extremely cluttered.

I may have heard a car arriving outside. I knew it was my father. I think my mom and the rest of my family had left because they knew my dad was coming for a visit and they wanted to avoid him.

I walked out into the living room through some kind of thin sheet that was now hanging over the doorway to the bedroom. My dad was already in the house. I was wearing a red and white trucker cap. My dad may have been wearing one as well.

My dad may have asked me why I was up so early. I said, "I always get up this early. This is when I go to work. In fact, I'm heading to work right now."

My dad and I were looking toward a huge sliding glass door to the backyard. But our view to the backyard was blocked by a thin, yellow curtain and possibly also a white dry-erase board.

My dad asked if I always go to work this early. I told him I did, and that I tried to work pretty late as well. My dad said, "Well, my habit has always been to do Fridays only from nine to five. I thought you might do the same thing. At least on Fridays."

Dream #2

I was in a grocery store, getting checked out. The front of the store had big windows running along the wall, looking out on a bright, sunny parking lot. I felt like something, almost like a big piece of machinery, was behind me, making it very uncomfortable for me to stand in the checkout line.

A thin, Latina girl just a bit shorter than I was bagging my groceries. She asked me at some point about my work. I was away from work and I needed to get back. I may actually have been picking up supplies for some kind of work party. The girl may have asked me if my work was really strict with how long I was away.

I told the girl about my hours and what I did at work. She had bagged my stuff and was now walking out of the store with me, helping me take my bags to the car.

I was out in the parking lot. I may have been by myself. A few kids whom I may have thought of as a group of kids I'd taken out on volunteer projects came walking up. I was a little shy, but I called out to them. We kept talking, but for some reason I kept heading to my car, which was a few aisles away.

I now saw that my sister was among the kids. I couldn't see my sister or the kids anymore, but I was "talking" with my sister. She told me she would try to be back at home for whatever party I was throwing. But she wasn't sure she could make it. But if she didn't make it I shouldn't be upset. Because she -----

Dream #3

I was in a hotel lobby. The interior was small, but furnished with nice wood and chairs. But the light was a terribly drab fluorescent. I sat at some couch.

I got a call from my grandmother. She said she had prepared some form for me so I could stay at this hotel for a kind of long period of time. I now had the "form" in my right hand. It was on an iPad. The form was black with white lettering. The blanks, when not written in, were an orange-fadey color.

My grandma said she'd filled in a lot of the form. I noticed she had filled in my social security number. I was kind of surprised by that. But my grandma said, "Yeah, of course I have your social security number. I can get that if I want. I can even have them give me your social security card if I want. It comes with being your grandmother."

I felt slightly inconvenienced at having to be at this hotel, but I figured I'd stay here anyway, since my grandma had done so much to secure a place for me.

But either I or my grandma pointed out that the forms would not be finalized for a while. I told my grandma, "If thats's the case, I need to go somewhere else until the forms are finalized. These people don't like having me here in the first place. And having me here without my permanent forms finalized is just an excuse for them to give me a bad time."

I spoke with my grandma about where I should go while I wait. My view was now of a map. It was apparently a map of Colorado, where I grew up. I kept travelling south on a red road on the map, through a number of towns notated by circles. The color of the map changed from pale lime green to yellow.

I kept telling my grandma I couldn't stay in any of the towns my vision passed through, as the people in those towns all hated "people like me." I eventually went south of Colorado's border, which was much more jagged and rounded than it is IWL. There were three towns just south of the border. I may have figured one of those towns would be safe for me to stay in.

I figured I would begin my online dream journal with the most interesting post in my dream journal so far - my first lucid dream in years.

The beginning of this dream could have happened two ways, as I have memories of both.

1. I was in the lounge room, talking to my father, and got up to walk towards the front door. The furniture was arranged differently, the room lit by the lights, and the curtains closed. I tripped over something like a sharp wire, and felt no pain. This caused me to question reality and do a reality check.
2. I was at school, in English. It was the middle of the day, warm sunlight being diffused around the room from the blinds covering the windows. We were working through a question sheet, and one of the answers made absolutely no sense, causing me to RC. I doubt this second one.

Infact, thinking about it, the second one is most likely a false memory, as I distinctly remember doing the RC in my loungeroom, and the rest of the dream took place at home.

I did the RC I do as habit throughout the day, trying to push my finger through my opposite hand. It's hard to describe how it feels - like pushing a stick of hard play-doh into my hand. My hands were also extremely blurry, though I didn't concentrate on them much after I RC'd. I immediately got excited and started to lose the dream. I yelled out 'Increase lucidity!', relaxed my breathing, and got a more vivid look of the loungeroom.

I wanted to change my scenery, go to somewhere else within my dream. I tried visualising a field, and willing the world around me to move and change, I then tried a beach, which I had visited in a lucid dream briefly many years ago. Despite this effort, my scenery didn't change. I didn't notice at first - and infact wrote in my dream journal that nothing changed and no passages opened, but I recall noticing that one of my walls had turned into a long hallway - deeply lit with red, and soft velvety walls and luxurious looking doors. I wish I had infact gone and investigated it, and I plan to use it as a method of transportation next time.

Since my scene wouldn't change - I decided to try and fly. I ended up in my room, simply swimming upwards, struggling at first with freestyle, but soon adopted an upright push, somewhat like a jellyfish. Though I found it much easier than my previous attempts in dreams years ago, I lost a lot of lucidity from lack of concentration. It was cloudy outside, and everything had a tinge of green, though most colours were washed out. My foot got caught on a vine outside my window, and I couldn't keep floating. I tried to simply phase through it - like I did with the roof, but it didn't work, and the vine held me back. I lost more lucidity here.

My memory then picks up back in the loungeroom, where I proceeded to have sex with nothing - simply thrusting away at the air with nothing there, though still receiving all feeling. This caused me to wake up very quickly.

I woke up, and felt like looking over at the clock, and I believe I did infact wake up here, but then returned to sleep.

I thought I began writing in my dream journal, and ended up in a dream where I was in my English classroom, discussing a problem we had with the homework where the answer didn't make any sense. I exclaimed to my teacher "That's the question which caused me to be lucid!" He agreed that the answer didn't make any sense, and would have caused me to become lucid.

I woke up again after this, and began writing in reality.
