non-lucid

I can't quite recall the first dream, all I know is that it had something to do with water, boats and an island right next to a wooden wall. I can faintly remember moving around in the water and eventually arriving at the gates of the wooden wall.

In the next dream, I had a concert for my orchestra class to perform at. When I arrived, I had just remembered that I needed to play a violin part even though I was a bass player. This threw me into a panic as I tried to remember the fingering positions in order to properly play the song. Eventually I gave up and said I would only do the bass part considering that it was the only thing I could remember. That's when the dream just kinda faded.

I remember that in the third dream I was at home on my computer writing the first and second dream down. However, I did not finish writing all of it and accidentally posted. I didn't realize until someone had posted a comment about it and tried to fix it.

After that, I found myself at an old medieval town perched on the side of a hill. It had a fascinating clock tower with gears coming out of it rotating rhythmically. The town crier had said there was a meeting at the town hall and that everyone was welcome to attend. There were two people either debating or talking about an issue. One of them was a man, and the other was a women. When they concluded their speeches, the man pulled out a small vile and popped the cork releasing some vapor that surrounded him. When it cleared, he had disappeared leaving everyone baffled. People started forming search parties to find him. It got to the point where a person got onto a ship and sailed to different islands to find him. They found him on an island that was turned into a potato farm which struck me as odd. The ship they sailed on was wreaked so they had to use nearby wood from trees to make it. However it couldn't hold all of us on it so three people had to hold a rope that was tied to one of the logs that would drag them along with us.

The last dream was probably the most action packed. I remember being at the entrance to a cathedral. It was me and three other people. From what I recall, it was one guy and two girls. It turned into a RPG/Left4Dead kind of game when a bunch of demons and people on elephants attacked us. We then had to fight our way out of the cathedral yet all stay alive using special powers. I used magic, another person used strength, someone was an archer, and I forgot what the last person was. We eventually got to these doors that required a certain pairing of people to open. I remember each door was huge and slowly opened as demons came from behind us. We eventually got all the doors open leading to the outside. Strangely, it showed area where my first dream was at with the wooden wall and water everywhere.

Wow, my recall is certainly getting better! Still no lucid dreams yet, but at least I am making progress!

3 nights ago:
I appear to be in some sort of disaster-struck city. buildings are blown over and there is water everywhere. (I think i'm in Japan, hence the water) I hear a noise and look to the sky. There is a plane flying by, but it is dropping little green pellets. These pellets harm people somehow.

2 nights ago:
I'm in a large elevator. In one of the corners is a cute anime helmet type deal. (it's padded and has goggles... I think it had a design as well) I picked up the helmet thinking "dude this is so cool!" Woke up after that :/

No dream last night...

I'm not certain why, but my recall is horrible this morning.

I am at a large warehouse, helping a few others carry boxes from the back of a truck into a loading dock. A friend of mine is arguing with me about which box is the heaviest. Every box I lift is heavier, and I say, “This box is the heaviest.” each time I lift a box. Eventually, the boxes get so heavy that I can't lift them at all, so I slide them out of the truck and tumble them across the dock leveling plate.

Where are my cities? (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Business is taking over my life. I am trying to fight it back as my metaphysical live is very important for me. I am getting back into recording dreams.
I still have decent recall, but I have not been writing them down, so here I start again.

I had a false awakening and I ran to my computer. I wanted to check at my Ikariam game if they new upgrade happened. I wanted to pay premium and build my 11th city. (This is something that I was focused on waking. I was able to buy the premium and build in the brand new premium-only spot, but I was stressed before going to sleep that someone else would buy it)
When I logged into the game, the game looked pretty similar, however, the list of cities looked different. When I checked my list of cities, I only could see six. I started to wonder where my other four cities were. I started to fill stressed. I click on the "View Island" icon. The island looked very distorted but I only found missing my cities. I found some empty spots, where my cities used to be, and no premium spot.

This is how the game looks on real (a stoned ground can be seen with a new tiny blue city, that's the premium spot, I got it )







I said out loud, "Where are my cities, what is going on with this game, looks weird!"

I figured it was not possible. I checked my hands and looked OK, I tried to put a hand through another one without success. I decided to jump and pretend levitation. I succeeded and confirmed I was dreaming. I did not touch the ground. I reminded to myself that it has been a while and that I was happy to induce it the very first night I re-focused on it.
The dream quality was bad, so I needed to fly. Without touching the ground, I opened my front door and left. I flew for a while when the dream started to become blurry. I focused in clarity with success.
I flew over a beach and decided to take a breath underwater.

I spent a while underwater I decided to start looking for Amity. I found some lady at the beach, but it was not Amity. For some reason I started to loose lucidity until the dream faded.

I had another false awakening and went to my computer, to check Ikariam. When I opened the game, the premium spot was taking and I cursed out loud. Suddenly, I noticed the game looked very 3D. I could see elves and soldiers patrolling the cities, I could see (and even enter) the houses of the game. The game also had music. It was a Celtic flute based music, however, it felt like some sort of elvish spell. I was surprised of all the changes and wondered why did they went 3D with all the animations. The static images were perfect. After a while lurking in the whole new ikariam game, I woke up.

Prediction: I am going to have charged dreams tonight. I hope to go lucid.

I had my first day of trucking school today. I drove a tractor trailer. This should be a great stimulus to induce great dreams. Also, I'm going to pretend to shoot fireballs from my hands and watch things blow up before I go to bed. I am hoping acting out will help me go lucid and have better control. I will then try to enter my nightmare.

I have been talking with someone on DV who suggested that I pretend as I did when I was a kid, whatever my dream goal is. Much of that conversation took place last night. Before going to bed, I spent a little while pretending that I could shoot fireballs from my hands. Then I went to bed.

I was in a park. A DC told me to pretend with my Dream Goal, so I started pretending that I was shooting fireballs at trees, that they exploded, and the explosion blew me backwards.

The DC didn't seem to be impressed by my ability to pretend. Soon the DC tells me to look down the hill. I see my daughter with a lighted ball. This represents some kind of success. It is "like a fireball." It was pretty cool, and I suppose it was a great tool to pretend it is a fireball.

My daughter throws it up to me, and I turn and throw it up to my son. We play this for couple throws until one time I throw it to my son and it doesn't make it all the way to him. It starts to roll towards him, but turns and goes across the street.

The next thing I know he is across the street with the ball. I run over to him and explain that he has to look both ways. It is a $1.00 ball that I can buy again, and nothing is more important than him being safe. At that point, the ball was not the lighted ball anymore.

This wasn't what I wanted for last night, but at least my intention came through in my dreams.

I was driving with a friend ive never met before sitting in the passanger seat. When all of a sudden couple of guys jumped onto the hood of the car yelling and screaming at my buddy.
For some reason they were after him, as he got out he had super speed and ran quickly away all the men chased him down the street not caring about me.
I stop to look around, the beautiful vivid blue sky staring into me, and glass sky scrapers surrounds me. I meet up with my friend and we run into a hotel. Running up the stairs we quickly find a room which is unlocked and we lock ourselves inside. I quickly hide under the bed as he runs into the closet. Everything faded from here.

Next dream i was Cutting planks of wood with some cast members of the Band of Brothers.
The boss is yelling at us tell us to put the finished piece of wood against the wall behind some bungee cords.
we were using these big machines with attached electric saws, slowly we pushed these logs through to make these planks.
after we put our first board on the wall the dream began to fade.

In my final dream last night, i was at some type of flea market. I was standing next to an old asian man when he is handed a piece of cloth
with drumsticks in it. He seems to be upset that a man handed him it for something at his station I tell him i'll go find the guy who ripped you off.
Someone says theres a man waving his fist at people wanting to fight. Right after that i see him down an isle in the market.
When i got close to him, he comes quick at me and attempts to kick me. I grab a board from this display next to me and held it infront of my leg and kicked it hard.
he says ow. He looks at me questionably and goes for another try but again I hold the board infront and block his kick with mine. After 2 more kicks he falls back and is looking up at me.
Right as that happend the old asian man turns the corner and picks his pocket for five dollars... I look at him and said, I did all this for 5 bucks ?! and i laughed and woke up

The start of this dream is very hazy, although the recollected portion contains an element that was connected to the forgotten beginning. The visuals were all very realistic. This dream is similar to Monstrous Distant Future.

Myself, and a group of people were being stalked by well armed men. We made our way through what looked like a heavily fortified underground base. The halls were illuminated future blue and made of smooth cement with digital entry pads. We made our way through a huge metal door and it shut behind us. Now we were inside some kind of military garage.

It was almost pitch black, so I took out my flashlight. (This is my newest flashlight in real life.) I was looking around at different items, I could distantly hear the well armed men outside still. My battery died on my flashlight. (In real life, the batteries are getting low and need to be replaced soon.) I looked in my pockets for another flashlight and could only produce two highlighter pens. (Both in real life are low on ink also!) Someone else turned on there flashlight, and I saw a few armored vehicles around that looked as if they were being repaired from small arms fire.

One area contained a crashed vehicle that had been chasing us earlier in the dream. I remember thinking we should scavenge it for whatever we could, but the crash seemed very eerie. I lost my nerve to take the dead people out of it.

I made my way over to another heavy metal door with a glowing keypad. I exited the base into what appeared to be a residential neighborhood of three or four story buildings. These were condo like. Brown painted wood, with huge living room windows on the 2nd floor. Some of the group followed me out into this courtyard. Matte87 (from Dream Views) was one of them (he looked like he does in his profile picture). He seemed disgusted at how comfortable these people were, while our group was living like rats. (This was connected to something he mentioned in a recent Dream post.) He grabbed some rocks, and started launching them at this huge window - while just then a yuppie looking woman was walking up her stairs. I grabbed a coffee mug from off the ground and was about to launch next, but felt nervous to be caught.

Some of our group had made their way up to a clubhouse in this complex with a bar. I heard one of the girls, who I hadn't seen yet, saying something outraged and insolent. Then she let out this terrible and guttural roaring belching sound followed by two loud clicks. Fire filled the entire bar area and bottles were exploding. I heard our group cheering. I wanted to see. So I climbed a set of stairs.

When I arrived she had moved to the 3rd floor, and again I heard the same monstrous belching roar and two clicks. Followed by a flamethrower or furnace noise. I ran up two flights this time, and found a pleasant looking blond with a long pony tail standing in a small lounge area. She was surrounded by people who were expectantly waiting for her to destroy it. I said something close to, "Oh, let me see what you can do." She instantly became coy and said "I would but I don't want you to get a bad first impression of me." -I was suspecting something sinister now.

I said, "Okay, I will just turn around and you can do it behind my back." She agreed, and for the third time, and the loudest, I heard this growling chattering burping roar followed by two sharp clicks, like giant teeth. Then came the furious furnace-like fire sound. I remember thinking:

"This room is so small, she will burn everyone up." -Then I woke up.

I had bad recall last night, probably because I only got six hours of sleep, and I find I need at least nine to remember dreams vividly. I do, however, remember something about my mom, and for the life of me I couldn't remember her name. It was strange. I'm off to bed soon, and hopefully there will be more to report in the morning.

I woke up 4 times to recall 4 dream and I am confident I was lucid in 3. They were very weak and hazy though, and they all devolved into sex dreams.

fragment
I am lucid but not sure how. I know I am dreaming but am immediately tempted into sex. Coitus ensues.

Spiders
Something about my father and two large tarantula spiders. I'm getting slightly better with my phobia of spiders but not completely over it. In the dream, as long as they are far away, I can tolerate them. But then one gets near me. I am sitting in a chair and it is on the floor. It walks close and I try to kick it away. But I miss with my foot. It gets even closer. I wake with a start, kicking away the sheets. Just a dream... Just a dream...

fragment
Another weak lucid like the first. I am lucid but not sure how. The dream ends up with sex.

fragment
Yes another lucid, but not sure how. I am slightly more lucid in this one compared to the others this night. I recall touching a wall to stimulate my sense of touch. But then it once again devolves into sex. I recall this time it was oral sex.

It all started out in a desert at dusk. The sky was an dark orange color from all the dust that was lingering in the air. I was talking with my dad when an old friend of mine walked across and asked me what rubber-bands I wore for my braces. I responded telling her that I used to wear rubber-bands from a green package, but moved onto wearing them from a blue package. She then proceeded on her way and I resumed talking with my dad.

The dream plot changed when a guy from a balcony not too far from me said that a gang had come into town and kidnapped children. My dad had disappeared on me so I followed some soldiers with weird, futuristic armor that were going to fight the gang. We all got into a car and drove on a curving road perched on a cliff when we saw the gang was putting kids into a van. I remember them wearing a brightly colored jackets and holding guns and a weird machine at the apex of the curve. The soldiers got out of the car and started firing at the gangs while simultaneously rescuing the children. Not only did the soldiers shoot at the gang, but they manipulated the environment around them to give them the advantage. They eventually pushed the gang back to some tree before the gang got the upper hand and made their escape. The soldiers then returned to their car and drive off. I don't know what exactly happened, but I kinda faded out of existence and the dream continued more like a movie.

Time passed and it was now nighttime. The soldiers drove back to where to they fought the gang and found them once again. In the fight, I remember them turning the ground into lava trapping some gang members in their tracks and shooting them. This time, the soldiers had won, but on of the main soldiers was shot and injured and the commander carried him to that weird machine at the apex of the curve. A blue sack enveloped the wounded soldier and the commander spotted someone at the end of the road. The person waved and walked towards him. This part was strange too because it was like a cinematic scene in a movie. The "camera" zoomed out showing them both from a 3rd person view and the commander talked about how manipulating nature would ruin it's behavior. The view then changed to a scene of a tree's that leaves were falling and a pond with ripples. He then elaborated more on his idea and the tree's leaves stopped falling and the pond became still and the camera then fell back onto him. The person nodded and left.

Everything kinda gets foggy after that, but I do remember seeing a girl floating with her arms thrust downward inside a circular object that emitted a soft blue light on her. I said to myself that I should remember drawing the knees to better my drawing skills or something like that.

Well, overall I am glad that i am remembering more and more of my dreams, so it does show that I am progressing in both length and detail!

non dream - lucid - non lucid

I'm not sure sure at which point I started dreaming, or if I dreamed all of it, and when exactly I was lucid.
So I'll go ahead and mark things with colors like I experienced them.
In other words if I thought I was awake I'll mark it as if I was, even though I don't really know.
I have never taken any mind altering drugs, I wonder if it's anything like this...

_______

I wake up in bed... I still feel very tired.
The room is very dark and I lately leave the shutters just slightly open so I can see if it's already day when I wake up.
I assume it's still night and I want to continue sleeping.
I notice I haven't moved yet and I don't seem to sense my body.
The thought of WILD'ing crosses my mind.
It's been quite some time since I've attempted to WILD, so why not.

Right as I try to relax, the little colors I see become somewhat bright and start changing.
This was fast? I never get HI this fast, this is weird.
I realize I'm floating over my bed. Am I already dreaming?
Was I having a false awakening? I never get visuals like this when I'm dreaming though.
As my room lights up I realize that I am floating in some sort of tunnel. The room is no longer there.
I'm gently descending this tunnel of colorful clouds and lights.
I suppose I'm actually falling, but I'm falling so slowly that I'm not worried.
I actually enjoy it quite a bit, it's very relaxing.

I can hear ambient music. (something like this)


I try to focus on a color cloud. It is clearly changing it's color all the time, but I can't actually see it changing.
It changes colors right in front of my eyes, but I don't see the change, I only realize it has changed.
This has me perplexed for quite some time. Am I really dreaming? or can you actually have HI this strong?

After some time I am floating in my room again, except it's lit now. The spotlights in my room are on but they
have different colored bulbs in them.
Somehow my room looks much bigger than it is in waking life, but somehow everything is still the same size.
I don't understand how this is possible and hover over to my desk.

I take a can of coke from it because I want to know what it tastes like.
But the can is very weird. It seems way too small, but upon closer investigation it isn't.
I cannot tell if it's a normal size or a tiny can. I can't understand why I cannot distinguish this.
I wonder if this is what tripping feels like? A friend once told me he couldn't tell sizes apart when he was doing some sort of drug.

The lid of my laptop opens up by itself and it goes out of standby.
I am presented with the Visual Studio project I was working on last night.
I was working on a physics engine and needed to add support for air resistance into it, but I was too tired and went to sleep.
I don't understand why this was so hard...

I go to wikipedia and copy paste the equation for drag straight into my code.
The equation appears and the program starts on my second monitor.
I can see the numbers in the equation changing as stuff moves around in the game.
I need to test if it feels realistic, so naturally, I climb into my monitor to see if the falling physics are correct.

I'm falling down yet again, I'm in the game, but I can still see the monitor with the equation as well.
I see both things at the same time.
Whilst I am falling with my first body, I correct an error in the formula with my second body which is still in front of the pc.
I feel the corrections take effect with my in-game body and understand that everything is correct now.

I hit some key that does something and my bodies merge again and I'm back in my room.
The color clouds are back, but I can still see my bed.
But I can't see myself in it which surprises me. I was assuming to find myself sleeping in it.
I go closer and see a pulsating light where I'm supposed to be.
It's beautiful. I go closer and it turns into a galaxy.

I am now floating through this galaxy of colorful stars. I am relaxed... I feel at peace...

2nights ago...

I was at a carnival, and instead of being clowns and balloons, there were whores and prostitutes and intresting things. I left because I was part of the "show". I was driving and there were one of the prostitutes in the back. She was eating something. I woke up.

1)With ma nan's kitchen with a bunsen burner and somethin exploded and all the dishes became dirty. Then walking with my nan looking for some car and walking round a building site in Russiaaa.
2)Talking with ma schools headmaster
3) In a survey choosing what hand lotions are the best??

Fixing Alarm
I'm trying to fix an alarm (looks like a smoke detector, I have the idea it's from "school"). I just need to change the battery, so to be sure that I don't accidentally mess something else up, I'm removing everything from the alarm that has to do with numbers. This removal extends to things outside the alarm as well: I turn off the radio because it either mentions numbers on the air/has a frequency made up of numbers, and I delete e-mails with numbers in their subject lines. (One email I delete is about some sort of evangelical Christian organization; it was forwarded to me by an aunt/uncle with the note "Adam, we were going to delete this email but then we noticed the view count on it". Apparently I had somehow already looked at this email 20+ times, and they somehow knew about this before sending it?) The battery in the alarm is protected by a panel with a grille that I think can be unscrewed to be taken off. I touch the grille with my hand but realize my fingers are wet, and draw my hand back nervously. I wake up at this point, so I actually raise my right hand into the air in waking life. My fingers are numb.

Indigo Girls in Dead Forest (fragment)
Amy Ray and Emily Saliers are dead (although they look perfectly normal) and have to figure out a way out of a dead forest maze - this is done by collecting giant body parts (eye, skeletal hand, vagina??) and using them as tools?

Obama Nukes Russia: The Roguelike
There's a wacky Japanese TV show that is somehow inspired by Yasutaka Nakata (who appears in the 3rd episode). At the end of each episode audiences combine a couple of items to make a new item; then, in the subsequent episode, they use the item they made in the last episode to make something else, and the pattern continues. There are three episodes and then the series goes off the air for 6 months, but eventually it comes back. I am in a grocery store and am using a kiosk in one of the aisles to assemble a montage of the first six shows. I put a whole bunch of clips together, then add some text in Impact font, promoting it as a great comedy. (Fragment here about meeting a yelling old woman in the store, something to do with her cart?)

Episode 12 (the last one) rolls around, and I am in the store with several Japanese people waiting for it to start. Suddenly (and I know this is going to happen about 5 seconds before it actually does) Barack Obama walks out from the neighboring aisle, smiling. Everyone is shocked, whispering his name amongst themselves; no one seems to have any idea how they should conduct themselves. Obama stands in front of the people and kneels on the floor ... or at least he tries to. His legs are very stiff, like he can barely bend at the knees. Eventually he ends up thudding to the floor, one leg at a time, into a kneeling position. In a halting voice, he explains that he has let down the "flower of the Japanese people" by allowing the U.S. to be vastly outclassed in terms of nuclear power (the impression is that the U.S. will be annihilated shortly because of this?). There is an ASCII (roguelike) view of the situation, which somehow illustrates the predicament.

A young Russian guy named Vinny speaks up. In a loud, brash voice that somehow morphs into a thick Boston accent (but only for certain words, like "car") he explains, using the ASCII grid, how Obama can maneuver himself around the board and extricate himself from danger. This is done in 12 moves, a number which is pointed out, like it's an achievement. Vinny is clearly very proud of himself and asks that the maneuver be named after him if Obama ends up using it. Obama thanks him; after a few seconds of thought, he says he will name the maneuver "the Luvie." He follows Vinny's steps, but I notice that they are subtly altered; somehow he is following Vinny's route but also managing to pick up several nukes as he goes. Eventually Obama reaches the staircase out and escapes from danger.

At this point the scene shifts fully into ASCII. The store is gone; the scene is now inside a Russian nuclear shelter. Obama has departed and Vinny is pleased with his suggestion, still very confident that Obama will use it. He decides to go above ground; he knows that doing this will leave him unprotected, but he doesn't expect a nuclear strike to actually happen, so he thinks it won't matter. Outside the shelter, there is a forest; right by the entrance to the shelter is a wolf. Vinny has sex with the wolf; shortly afterward, Obama nukes Russia and possibly several other countries. Because he's outside of the shelter, Vinny is the only Russian casualty of the nuclear strike.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID NIGHTLY ADVENTURE

Good morning! That was one sucky night's worth of sleep. I had one of the freakiest nightly adventures ever which was kinda cool. Also to you who don't know what they are, here's a short briefing:

Nightly Adventure: I guess it's me sleepwalking, only I'm awake. I wake up and have hallucinations and act out. Sometimes I wake up right away and see whatever is there, sometimes I wake up while in the middle of it all. I usually scream out loud to the intruder, throw something at him/her/it or run up away from danger which is in my bed. Have done countless retarded things during the years. I usually start to snap out of it gradually after ten or so seconds.

22.10: Sleep

23.55: Nightly Adventure
*I wake up and I will die! The entire side of my room is going to fall down on me so I jump out of bed and run to my kitchen. I stay there for twenty seconds while hyperventilating and listening to my heartbeat which is beating away like a drum. What's happening? Is this real? "Monica?!" I say out loud. "Yeah...?" she replies from bed. I slowly relax and is shaking by the time I go back to bed.

02.00: Fragments
*I'm with a very hot chick clad all in black. We're at some kind of pawn shop. "I'll take a condom" I tell the guy in the booth. I smile to the girl. "Wait, I'll take three" I tell him and grab the condoms. The girl jumps me and starts dryhumping me on the spot. It feels good! Maybe a little bit too good... I don't want to waste this on a dryhump, but too late! I walk away and just walk around aimlessly in some corridors. Oh, another dream I don't wake up from after having an orgasm, cool!

*I'm fishing with my brother Morgan. We're fishing for a very long time actually, and we get several sea bass. I manage to throw into the sea weed all the time. "Soon I've fished up half the lake's worth of grass" I tell him and throw the green slime back along with my worm.

05.10: Guitars
I'm with an entire school it seems. We're walking in a subway and I cut in line. I'm holding a black and white guitar and cover it up so that no one accidentaly breaks it. I spot an old classmate; Mathias, he's got a guitar aswell. I head up the stairs ahead of everyone and end up on a large square. I can see neon signs all around me and I figure they must be some kind of clubs. A bunch of people show up and I recognise them all. They're holding guitars aswell and we all sit down on a couple of benches after joking around a while. Victor's got an amazing instrument.



It's a guitar, bass and drum in one! It's divided in sections of a few centimeters each, with different symbols all around. You can spin a section and if you tap it, a sound comes out. He starts running his fingers all around it, spinning several "wheels" at once, hammering away with his hands. I can hear which song he's playing; "Disturbed - Indestructible". He gives up after hitting the wrong ones. "It's too damn hard" he tells us, I think it sounded awesome.

Jonas has an old guitar instead of an electric one which the rest of us has. He starts playing on it and I pluck away on my own. I remember looking at slash112's video of him playing something and I try to repeat it. It sounds okay.


05.10: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 4 hours

Supplements: None

That's it! I had a VERY hard time sleeping last night and I didn't get much sleep at all in the end. Hopefully I will tonight, but a tiny lucid and a cool dream never fails to make my spirits rise!

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!
