non-lucid

General text non-lucid awake lucid

Once again, my dream was very inconsistant, weird, and hard to fallow. I can't be sure of the exact order of events, so I'll just go one scene at a time and assume they're in the right order. One thing is for sure though... There was chocolate cake involved!

Piece of Cake

Part 1

The dream started with be sitting on the couch with my sister in my grandpa's basement. Because it was a dream though, only about half of the stuff in there was based on the real world. My grandpa walked down the stairs and handed us each a stack of papers. He mentioned something about it being an IQ test and then he walked back upstairs. I don't remember anything that was written on the papers, but I just scribbled a couple things and felt like I had finished. I looked over at my sister to see if she finished her test. She just left it on the coffee table in front of us and watched tv. I had the strange urge to fill out her IQ test as well, so I did pretty much the same thing. I started to feel guilty because I thought it would be cheating to fill out her test.

My grandpa came down right as I finished. He took both tests, graded them, and handed both of them to me as if he knew I did her test. "Good job. You got a 27." He said to me. I read both papers, and it said my score on my first IQ test was something like 27/9 points. The second was 27/44. I still felt guilt for some reason and everyone knew what I did. Despite this, a slice of chocolate cake appeared on the coffee table out of nowhere. I looked at it and knew it was an award for getting an IQ of 27/?? I was going to eat it, but I paused for a few seconds, thinking about the bad thing I did. After 5 seconds of thought, I took a bite out of the cake anyways. I didn't get to pay much attention to how it tasted though.

As I took a bite out of it, the wall to the left slid open. The cake was somehow a trigger to open a secret passage way. Rather than questioning why, I felt like it had to be explored. "Hey Miki! Look at the secret door!" This managed to get her attention, but she only glanced at it for a few seconds before returning to the tv. I walked into the hidden room. Contrary to the modern style of the house, this room was ancient and made out of stone bricks. The most unusual thing about the room though, was the underwater tunnel in the middle of the floor. I decided to dive into the water and find the other side of the tunnel. As I dove in though, everything quickly faded to black...

Part 2

The next thing I remember is sitting in the bedroom of my old home. It was also in a basement. My sister was also there and I was mad at her about something. She walked into my room and I gave her a dirty look. She threw a letter at me and said, "You got a letter from your school." I remember DV being printed on the back of the letter. I opened it and a magic voice started to play. "Congratulations! You won! Please enjoy your reward!"

I put the letter down and looked over at the floor like this . Once again there was a slice of chocolate cake in front of me. I think I did some other stuff in my room, but I can't remember very well. I do remember taking bite out of the cake again though. After I ate the cake, everything started to fade to black again...

Part 3

This time, I was standing in video game section of Walmart. My sister was still there and I was also with my aunt. I picked up one of the games to look at the back. It was some Mickey Mouse adventure game. "Oh that's kinda cool." I said as I looked at it. Mickey was in some wizard outfit. I was going to buy the game, but then I noticed Mickey was holding a plate of chocolate cake... I put the game back and started to walk away. My aunt asked, "You're not going to buy anything?" I just responded with, "Nah, I'll save my money for something else."

Once again the dream faded, but this time I was awake. I wanted to write about it in my dream journal. Was too tired though, so I didn't care that much about it and went back to sleep.

My Thoughts on this Dream

Ok new rule: No more cake before bed. I think this was one of the weirdest dreams I've had that was based off of reality. I also feel like drawing maps of my dreams now...

Non lucid dream 4/30

Smoked/Drank before bed

The dream started out in the community college that I used to go to. The halls were huge and there weren't many people around me. Suddenly people started saying that thugs were raiding the college vandalizing and breaking everything. They broke through a large window which was on the ground floor and started destroying everything in sight. They then singled me out and somehow I got away, there was no fear in this dream just weirdness. I went out into the parking lot where my car was parked alone way in the back. From afar I saw them running towards me in a group of about 5-7. They came up to me and surprisingly told me my car was a mess lol.... (It is in real life and I was just thinking about that the day before), they threatened me and said if I didn't clean it something bad would happen. So since they were thugs they broke into my car... through the window with on of those window jacks and started throwing all my shit out. I remember them cleaning out all the back pouches, the console, and the trunk. From what I saw the only thing they found was a bunch of pennies and change. I probably dreamt that because I have tons of change in the little change holder and it just piles up . Once they were done cleaning they disappeared and the dream was over.

Lame dream but it has symbolism in my real life that I can connect too, proving once again my dreams aren't random. I noticed I dream a lot about spacious places (Parking lots, schools, malls) my dreams also almost always have my car in it.
(mental note, add "Ford Explorer" to dream signs/patterns)

I was standing in a room looking at the wall. My first view was of the light of the day coming threw the window on to the curving white walls. I looked up and noticed that the window was about 50 feet up. The top of the window was arched . The wall was so high I could not see were or if it ended. The room was basically shaped like an upside down funnel. When looking up it seemed not to end and the circle was smaller the higher up the wall. I began to look around the room and don't remember too many details other than it was (I don't know the correct term) decorated in an Indian/Tibetan look and every thing was against the wall. I looked to the left and I seen an older bald man with facial hair, shirt less but dressed to match the room, sitting in a lotus position meditating. There was an alter behind him with burning incense candle holders. Not the exact words, but he told me "If you stay at the house too long your dream will turn into a nightmare. Leave before the wolfs come". While he spoke I was looking at the details of the stuff behind him. Noticing that the floor was metal looking and looked on the floor from the wall to myself and noticed the floor had engravings all over it. (I didn't remember the markings when I woke.) He was sitting were the head would be on a quarter. Then I looked at my hands and said "Hey, I'm dreaming" I felt my body change from being weightless to having weight. I got so excited about becoming lucid for the first time I started spinning around in circles. (Later I read that is a trick to prolonging a dream, so I felt so lucky that was my first instinct.) When the excitement wore off a bit, I decided I wanted to fly. ( I must say I regret not meditating during this dream for many reasons.) So I tried to jump and fly and failed. I then decided that even if I could fly in here were would I go any way. So I found the door behind me and tried to open it. It wouldn't open. I fought with it and tried forcing it open. I got so frustrated that I then lost my lucidness, weight, and body pulling myself threw the door and in to the air a couple feet. I floated down viewing an outside scene. There were trees, the grass was mowed and a car parked in front of me. J.R. then got out of the drivers side of the car. He waved at me to get me to come get in the car as he got in on the passengers side. I went and got in the car. My son Simon was sitting in the back behind me. We then drove to the house I knew we was going too. When we arrived we went into the kitchen and sat down with my grandma on my dad's side. I don't remember anything she said. I was too focused on the neat shelving system behind her. The best description I could think of was that it looked like a chess bored with no back to it and not as many rows of squares. It had different types of rocks and crystals in many colors and shapes. Then I noticed she had the huge crystal rocks (almost as big as a basket ball.) That I had found as a child with my friend kyle (but couldn't even keep one because his dad wanted them. His property. Jerk.). After seeing that I was done talking and had JR watch Simon as I unpacked our stuff. I was putting my stuff away in the bathroom when I heard someone knocking on the door. I walked out of the bathroom, past my sister and one of friends naked heading toward the bathroom. I walked down the hallway to the back door. It had windows so I could see who was out there. It was Reece (guy on youtube) He had his hood covering his hair and almost mistaken him for thomas (sisters x). Then I seen he didn't have blue eyes and his skin was lighter. I was happy to see him instead od thomas and wanted to kiss him. I then tried to let him in so I could. Another door I couldn't open but I didn't let myself get frustrated because its embarrassing for me. So I asked him to "go around to the front door". And he nodded a yes and walked toward the font. I then headed that way, successfully opening that door but he never came. I then remembered what the meditating man had said and felt that my dream was beginning to turn sour. I ran around the house packing my stuff and telling jr we had to leave. I went into the bathroom to get that stuff and couldn't find my face lotion. I then decided it wasn't important enough to stay and risk not leaving before the wolves arrived. We then left. The road seemed elevated because the ground was covered in fog. The dream continued for another scene before waking but I forgot the end while writing the beginning.

2/23/11

My friend Rebecca and I were in a gas station convenience store. We went into the bathroom which we had to pay 10 dollars to get in (I dont remember paying but I remember knowing that we did). I vividly remember walking down a long dingy white hall to get there. Two young kids came in with a full basket of groceries. Michelle and I were sitting on the toilet. The kids looked very nervous and suspicious. I made some guesses (out loud) as to what they were doing with the groceries in the bathroom. My first guess was wrong but my second guess was that they were throwing them out the window so they didnt have to pay for it. We gave them advice on how to appear less suspicious. They asked us why we were sitting in the bathroom. I dont remember exactly what we said but it was something like we had to wait a certain amount of time because Rebecca's mom would be mad if we came back early or something. I dont remember if that was the real reason or if we were lieing but I do remember constantly checking the time. I guess once we gave them the advice the kids realized we didnt care what they were up to and began to swipe (what I assumed to be) stolen credit cards in a device that looked like the paper towel dispenser. It started printing stuff out the top. It was assumed they were buying stuff or something. I remember one of the cards (I think they swiped 2) was a pink "Susan g Komen" breast cancer one. After that they opened the window, which was frosted so you couldnt see out it till they did. I assumed they would be throwing the food to hoodlum friends but was supprised when I saw what I knew to be a family at the bottom. There were a lot of them and some were young but I knew it was their family. When they opened the window they yelled down “The villa is open for business.” I remember the people on the ground being confused by this. I believe we left at that point. I dont remember them actually throwing stuff out the window but I do remember a blackened, fried pickle that one of them started eating.

None

So I was driving down a dirt road when we come to this gate where this guy says you have to pass 4 challenges to get to walmart. Never seen any of this stuff in my life. The first challenge was to to pay exactly $1.23 to get in, no more no less. So I did that. Then the next challenge, this weird doll thing through knives at me and I had to keep dodging until it was done. I actually got hit once and felt discomfort, but it went away quick. The next challenge I had to catch five crabs and shrimp and stay away what the guy called "falsegars" but they looked like eels, not gars. And the shrimp look like like long pink snakes. The crabs looked normal. The "shrimp" tasted like coconut cake. I then caught my told amount. Then for the next challenge I had to go into a gas station, eat only 1 bite of a protien bar and walk out the other door to go to walmart. I ate the one bite then I woke up. This dream made no sense to me.

So, been a little distracted lately and haven't been focused on my dreams. I've been wanting to type up a very memorable dream I had about a year ago, so here it is.

I was in the ocean swimming towards land with a bunch of killer whales and dolphins. I was sort of riding with one of the whales but on his belly-side. I don't remember hanging on to him but it was kind of like he had his own gravity (not a fat joke, mr. whale guide.) Anyway, he and all the rest of the animals were splashing in and out of the water working towards land. He kept getting higher and higher out of the water and coming down even harder each time, sinking. I can recall being in the water looking to my right to see a line of dolphins doing the same thing. And when we were in the air I could see a city getting closer and closer. So I lost the whale once, he landed in the water and I sunk away from him and got scared thinking there were going to be sharks. Sure enough, a massive hammerhead appeared but he wasn't attacking me, he was leading me back to the whale. And the whale had waited for me. Then we continued on. What I felt in the dream, trying to figure out why they were doing this, I noticed the waves that they were making were going to wipe out the city, and that THAT was their intention.

When I woke up I started thinking about the song Aenima by Tool. Anyways, this was a non-lucid, but amazing.

Dream - Lucid

I remember being outside with some group. It looked like it was around dusk. I looked up at the sky, and the dark clouds were making spirals. I knew that this was not a good sign. I then saw a tornado come out of the middle of one of the spirals. I then saw a flash of a television screen. The TV said that we were under a "Huebert Warning", meaning that the potential for bad weather was very high. It was called something else, too, something that started with a Y, but I can't remember what the name was.

I then remember seeing a man in camo, a soldier I believe, stuck inside of one of those shovel-scoop construction machines (the actual name of this machine evades me right now). The shovel kept closing in on him over and over; it was out of control. He looked like he was in a lot of pain. I then remember seeing many people trying to help him get out of there. They finally rescued him.

I then remember being at McDonald's with my mom. She was trying to order this chicken salad wrap, but without the wrap, because she can't eat gluten. The lady behind the counter seemed annoyed and just generally upset about being at work. She kept misunderstanding my mom, who kept trying to order. I remember seeing the chicken salad spread all over this chunk of wheat bread. The lady finally really understood what my mom was saying. Then, my mom tried to ask for celery and carrots, and the lady said that they didn't have them, or something. I butt in at this point, because I saw some sitting on the counter. I said
"She wants those, the celery and carrots."
My mom then ordered a fruit bowl instead.

I was at the coffee shop I work at, but it looked much different. Everything seemed spacier. We weren't getting a lot of business. I then remember hearing that there was a tornado warning, and people started to go to the back. I was directing them as they went. I then saw them pass the back room, and go outside, where it was nighttime and raining. Outside was the shore of a lake. Beside the lake was a tree shadowing some green grass. Everyone went to sit outside by the shore. I thought that was kind of silly, since, oh I don't know, THERE'S A TORNADO WARNING?

Then, I turned to go back to talk to my boss, who was in the office (which was MUCH bigger than in waking life). She was sitting at the computer. She saw me enter, and said something about how we weren't going to the back yet, because the radar wasn't showing anything bad yet. I told her
"I know, everyone went outside."
She then got up and hugged me, spinning me in circles. I closed my eyes, enjoying every second. I felt so loved at that moment, like she was a mother to me almost. She started to crouch down closer to the ground as she was spinning me, and I felt like I was 4 years old again, being held in the arms of my mother. It was such a warm, loving feeling.

Then, I remember some guy coming from behind me to ask about a sandwich. It sounded like Chris, my ex, so I kind of snapped at him. I turned around, and it wasn't Chris. It was some shorter bald dude. I quickly apologized for the misunderstanding. I told him I had thought he was someone else. I went behind the counter to find his sandwich, he had said something about a "Panera salad". Weird.

This must have triggered something in my brain, because at that moment, I did a reality check. I counted 6 or 7 fingers, with some being very short and stubby. It's a dream! I started trying to think of what I should do. I almost just took off to fly, but thought better of it, knowing that I had a goal preset before I went to bed, though I couldn't remember what it was. At first, I just started to explore, walking around a bit. Then, I remembered my goal: To resolve something with one of my exes.

I was still behind the counter, and I floated up to where a blank wall was. At that moment, inside the dream, I had an idea to improve the functionality of my portals. I started to write my ex's name on the wall with my finger. As I wrote it, it showed up in the oily rainbows that have occurred with some of my other portals. I then drew a circle around his name with my finger, and calmly said "I want to see A". I started to color the circle in with my hand, and then it was an oily rainbow circle. I jumped through into blackness. I was afraid I might wake up, but tried to shove that fear aside.

I was then standing in a room somewhere. My ex was right there in front of me, sitting at a computer desk, doing something on the computer. I got his attention by saying his name. He turned to look at me. I rubbed my hands together so I wouldn't lose the dream.

"Hey Krista," he said "what's up?"
I sat down in front of him and said
"A, I have to ask you something. Why didn't we work?"
He looked at me for a minute, then disappeared. I was then holding a phone, and he was on the other line. I tried to get him to reappear, but gave up and just talked to him on the phone as I got up and walked down a concrete path. He started telling me about how he had another girlfriend now. I then told him
"I'm just not affectionate, A. And you are."
He said
"What do you mean?"
I started to explain that I'm not a touchy-feely person, and then got no response.
"A? A??" I said into the phone. Nothing but silence followed.

I felt the dream ending. I woke up, and stayed completely still so I could DEILD.
*Continued in part 2*

Was outside with leo and allen. A person who I can only describe as a combination of troy, kelsey, and Aleeta, walked by. We stopped and talk for a bit and promised to hang out soon. Allen said she was really pretty and I should set her and leo up. Leo seemed indifferent. We walk into what I thought was a movie theater but ended up being a live sex show. I wanted to leave but allen wanted to stay. One of the "actresses " walked up to me and gave me makeup advice. We left and went to our shitty white wall apartment. I was miserable.

Was at safeway with Raechel. We had a bed in an isle with a lcd tv and sodas. The bed was spacious and comfy with white blankets and sheets. We stayed the night but were pissed when we got the bill for the night was over 900 dollars. We stressed over the bill for a bit and I decided to pay it since Raechel couldn't. I walk into a school cafeteria and im delighted by all the food. I get like 6 healpings of the mac n cheese. Im the only adult there. There is a nightclub adjacent and I walk in. The lighting was bright blue and super modern. I order a goose and cran and sit alone. Some poeple sit next to me. I blank out and wake up. Can't remember the night before. Alllen, leo, dina, katya, and I are all living together. They all tell me that I got super wasted the.night before. I explain to them that I have blacked out before but usually I remember some things. I can't remember leaving with them or even my first drink wit them. Leo walks out. He picked up some girls the night before and were demanding that they leave. He was really harsh to them. I continue to try and peice the night before together with no luck. I could hear leo and allen talking about how I shouldn't look at my hand. I looked and I was missing a fingure. I begin to scream and freak out. (Should have known it was a dream right them, always see missing fingers in lucids.) They then start to talk about my foot. Look down and its all bruised up and black and purple and nasty. I asked what happened, they said I got into lots of fights. The wouldn't tell me how my finger got chopped off. Next thing volcanoes start to exploid. We all run to the top of a hill. The girls leo had sex with try to run up the hill and leo throws them down it. I was amused at this. They hit the lava.

Me, Allen, leo, some pretty girl with brown hair, brown eyes, tan skin, and a long blue and white dress moved into a modern white house. I didn't have any make up on but felt a little threatened by the other chick so I wanted to put on make up. Allen wouldn't let me go into the bathroom to do it. We wrestle and laugh. I finally get into the bathroom and see that a secret kitchen is adjacent. I alert the others and we investigate. Lose shows up and need to narrow 5 bucks.


Dream fragments:
Allen
Me
Table full of the best coke

At a rave/ party thingy. There is this guy there who Allen and I always see at this thing. We talk to him for a while and he wants to carpool with us to a super massive one in a few days. We say maybe and get his number but I didn't really want to. Allen and I leave the rave and are met by cops. They told us they're watching the guy and that we had to.go with him next week and we had to wear wires. We didn't want to be they forced us we head back to the hotel were staying in. Its really nice inside. A man just sits there and waits for us to comand him to do things for us. We're both super tired and dismiss him.


Im in the game super mario party 8 for nintendo wii. Allen is in it to. Im princess peach. I get a springo candy and im super excited. I springo to allen on the magical island expecting a star. I roll the dice high but for some reason I walk right past the star and the water turns to laval. I walk off the island and burn my feet. I was sent back to the beginning.

Was staying at allens dads condo without allen. It was just me and Barron. Decided to go back home. I took the wrong elevator down and got stuck in rain. Had Barron in my arms. I looked and saw everyone wearing yellow jackets and thinking how strange and DREAM LIKE it was that they were all standing facing away from me. I ran back inside the condo because I remembered that I needed to do the dishes and that it was time to feed barron

Spoiler for lucid dreams:

The clock in my room was all screwy. I tried walking around but I moved real slow and the lights were blinking rapidly. I wake up.

I re-enter the dream and I go into the kitchen and ask my girlfriend "help me catch a ghost". She says "They were in the yard but I caught them all". I go out anyways and see my neighbor and his daughter. I say "Let's have a drink." He accepts. I find a bottle under my porch and go into his house.

He takes me through a gym and into a changing room where sexual acts begin between him and his daughter. "I don't have time for this. I need to catch a ghost." More people enter and they all start taking off their clothes and I wake up. I did try looking for a ghost in the gym but nothing.

thu: crazy dream. down a ladder to the center of the earth where i have to kill this fiery skeleton horse with razor claws and tusks. many people died but not me. i woke up before i destroyed the beast.

Me and some guy were standing on a sidewalk. We were both armed with rifles. There was a gate near us so we walked up to it. Then started shooting at people that were next to the gate. There was a gun that he had that let him create barriers so I grabbed it from him and covered him. Some guy popped out just like I expected one would. So I shot the barrier directly at him and he was cut in two. But then someone else jumped out when I wasn't so tense. Going after my partner which easily took that guy down. I gave my partner a weapon of mine and grabbed another. When we were both ready to move on we proceeded through the gate. There was a large open field with some trees here and there. There were many ninjas there such as Sakura who was riding some sort of floating thing upside down. They were heading toward a very large park. So I concentrated my chakra to my feet and ran across water just to try it out. Then I applied more chakra to my feet and flew very high. I could see everything from up there. The park was a battlefield. There was a huge explosion every once and a while. I swooped around and landed near the action. I killed an enemy troop and wielded his weapon. It was a fully automatic rifle. I ran in a hurry across water and wasn't doing as good as last time because I wasn't concentrating on keeping myself up. I made it into the building and started to shoot people left and right. After that battle I wasn't lucid anymore.

I'm at school. To my right there is a swimming pool. A friend of mine tells me they just finished the renovation. We go to the canteen. It looks very strange. There is a large swimming pool on which the counter is. "This is absolutely stupid!" I say. "Why on earth did they place things like this?" My friend tells me things are placed just fine. "Oh, are they?" I ask and step to the platform that connects the counter to solid ground. I turns out to be plastic and capsizes. Finally I reach the counter. I take a tray and a plate. I think I didn't take any food on the plate. The next thing I remember is being again on the edge of the pool. Some distance away from me are the desserts. I jump there and take some bananas. Then I jump back and notice candies in front of me. I take a bite of a banana. It tastes delicious. Now I notice that the room has turned into a candy shop. I walk across the room. I become lucid, but I don't come up with anything to do so I decide to walk around the school. Before leaving the room I take a candy bar. It looks like white chocolate but tastes like mint. Music starts playing in my head. I leave the room. I see some my friends sitting at the corridors. They don't look like themselves but I know It's them. I talk with them. They seem somewhat hostile. I become a little sad but I know they're just part of my dream so I leave. I fly to a room where another friend of mine is. He's talking with someone about lucid dreaming. I fly around the school for the rest of the dream
