non-lucid

So last night I could finally recall my dream, but I dreamed that I was in a tall building that was being attacked much like 9/11. The dream would switch me from inside the building to 3rd person view outside like its some kind of movie. Somehow I ended up in the other building before the one next to it collapsed. I have felt so sick in that dream and a million things going through my mind that I am going to die. Before this happened it was night time and I was looking over the city and a air plane was coming and missed the buildings, then it turned around and streaked the building and I was teleported inside of it.

I was in a room with three other guys giving up hope that we would ever leave there, I found it odd that there was a chair that was in the shape of a tipping building. We figured out we where low enough to escape the bottom and people helped us out. One lady told us to run into this building to be safe and we did. The nightmare ended then.

There where other stuff but I don't remember it.

I had this one early this morning, and though it wasn't exactly "scary," it was definitely traumatic.

Dream Notes/Observations

Some friends and I have been invited to a party, in Alaska. We're being rushed to catch the plane (and drink with the pilot on the way), but we have to run some errands first. As we're driving around to do this, I'm trying to convince my buddy not to let me drink too much because my ex will be at the party.

At some point during this I insulted a group of crazy gangbangers, who looked like Rastafarian MS-13. The swore they were going to make me pay, but we sped away in the car.

We get back to my house and my friends drop me off so I can get dressed for the party. I go downstairs and let my ferrets out to play while I get ready (I do have ferrets IRL, and though these looked a little different I knew it was them). While my ferrets are playing two new ferrets appear from nowhere and start playing with them.

After I'm dressed I hear someone break-in upstairs, and somehow I know that it's the gangbangers, and that what their going to do is beat me, make me watch them eat the ferrets, and then kill me. So I try to gather up the ferrets and hide them in the closet, but the ones I don't know run away and I can't catch them.

I just manage to get my ferrets hidden when I hear them coming down the stairs and scramble to grab my sword (an ugly, poorly made black steel blade, not nearly as nice as my sword IRL). I've just managed to grab it and run out into the hallway when they get to the bottom of the stairs. There are 6 of them, and they are wielding hockey sticks and metal bars. I manage to bottleneck them in the hall so they can only attack me one at a time. They hit me a few times, but nothing serious, though there are a few close calls, and after 5 minutes of furious combat all 6 are dead.

I start freaking out about having killed 6 guys, and go up stairs and start pacing. At this point my friends return to pick me up, but I won't leave the house. I try to play it cool, but inside I'm losing it, considering chopping the bodies up to hide them in the yard. After a minute I break down and tell my friends what happened, but instead of freaking out they just think it's cool that I managed to kill 6 dudes by myself.

After a few minutes I decide to call 911 and report it, since it was self defense. The police don't come, but send an investigator: an older woman who kind of reminds me of my 5th Grade teacher. So I take her downstairs to show her the scene, but when we get down there all the bodies have turned into giant badger/dog things. 2 of them are dead, but the other 4 are just severely crippled. One of them has found the two stranger ferrets, killed 1, and is trying to kill the other. I start kicking it to try to protect the ferret, and the investigator gets mad at me, saying something like "This may have started as self defense, but if you keep that up you'll be charged with assault, the law doesn't protect your pets" (though apparently it did protect giant badger-dogs that used to be people). This makes me really angry, and I wake up.

1. One of my friends and I escape from some oppressive desert country and use a vacation house in Colorado as our hide-out. For some reason, I have an abundance of superhero T-shirts.

2. Singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" with a bunch of other guys. I do the lead character's lines, and seem to be the only person out of the bunch capable of hitting the high notes.

3. Something about playing with a rocket launcher.

4. Something about ugly necklaces.

5. I'm stuck at someone's residence with some snobbish former classmates and a handful of little kids. One of them criticizes the way I was eating a popsicle, and others join in on verbally harassing me. I run to find a room that I can lock from the inside so I can be alone, but they keep chasing me. Even when I've managed to lock a door or find a really good hiding spot (even when I'm hiding in my own house), they always get in and start dancing on my head, all while claiming that I'm in the wrong for hiding from them in the first place.

Then there was something about the estimated value of some herb and going to an incense shop to get something to help with meditation, but my alarm clock woke me up in the middle of that.

Dynamite Town

I’m flying! I’m close to the ground, no cars, just a big long road in the country surrounded by yellow and orange autumnal trees. I let my muscles go limp and the wind takes me higher, passed the power lines. If I go too high I get a little nervous I’ll never come back down, so I stabilize myself a few feet above the power lines. “It feels so good to be flying, finally,” I say.The wind is warm and everything feels exhilarating.

A tiny voice in my head starts talking to me: it’s my mom! I lose lucidity. She wants me to go get “Cochla root” for my dad, who has a bit of back pain. I need to go to the medicine woman we see for the herbal nutrition we buy from her.

Luckily, my school is having a trip to the same area today! Now I’m on a bus, looking out the window. We’re here, in the little mountain town where she lives. I call it a “boomtown” but for other reasons: all around us, people are working with dynamite in the mountains to access the gold and coal that are inside. The surroundings are all dirt and mud with laborers outside on this particularly rainy day. The houses are scattered boxes on the fields passed the dynamite lands. The bus rides through on the only paved road I see.

Out my window I see a girl who’s working. I look in her eyes as she works. There’s a connection here, one that I’m uncertain of but I feel something. I want her to look at me, but the bus passes before she turns.



Ahead, the other bus of students is returning from the town, going home. There is only enough room for one bus, but this isn’t a problem in a dream. Our bus kind of goes “over” the other bus, without an accident or anything dangerous, we are on the same track but on different levels of the same road. My POV is inside the other bus as it passes below us. I see Heather sitting alone, crying. I know she’s having an anxiety attack because of all the dynamite and danger around her. Jack is in my bus and starts taunting her.

“Jack,” I say. Everyone on both of the buses stops talking. “Shut the FUCK UP.” He does. We move on.

We get to our destination soon. It’s a old fort house a little ways passed the main dynamite mountain area. Inside, I get a little scared; this is a haunted house-esqe attraction, not an informative guide through the history of the town. Although I’m scared, me and my friend Celina are the first to run in. The doorway frightens us: when you walk over it, it rains on you. This was terrifying in my dream!

We sit down against a wall and let everyone else explore the house. I go into the kitchen where the witch doing all this scary magic is kneading bread. I ask her about the medicine woman and where I can see her.

“You’re on the same road but this is the wrong house,” she says. I feel embarrassed. I sit back against the wall with Celina and text Heather. Eventually everyone has explored the scary house and we leave.

On the way home we stop at a McDonalds and I order two chicken nuggets. I receive my order and they are huge, about half the size of me! I can’t wait to give these to Heather (I’m vegetarian), but they’re really heavy and difficult to pull along.

The scene shifts to me in the back seat of a car. My Uncle Pat is driving. I don’t want to tell my mom that I didn’t get the Cochla root and she’ll have to drive back to the town. I think of ways to tell her the bad news. My Uncle is going really slow and when I notice this, he hits the accelerator and goes through a shortcut home: through a bank parking lot and then through a school playground. Before we reach the playground, my POV shifts to above the car, as if there is no car, only me and him floating (but I still “feel” that we are in a car). We start passing through the fence into the playground and I see a bunch of curved spoons on the ground.

“That’s where crack addicts do their drugs. If I was going to do crack, I’d do it here,” I say.

On the playground, we pass a teenager on a small child’s bike. Now I am riding the bike.

It has backwards peddle brakes which are so foreign to me that I just don’t brake. Instead, I kind of idle around the edge of the playground until I can cross the street. I go for it without looking, and a car almost hits me: it was my mom, we’re both going home. I find this funny.

Peddling home, I stop on the side of the street to collect some acorns that have fallen from a tiny tree. My uncle’s voice booms to me: “Stop, let’s go home!” I tell him to wait a minute and then we proceed home.

Fragment

(Copied directly from my dream journal, I can’t make sense of it)
Me + a lot of people, nighttime, afraid on couches in a big house. Julia. My cat forms into a square of space + I wake up with her still there.

Maybe something about the girl who sits behind me in philosophy.

Im at this competition where we have to find teddy bears from the nature. We are at the pesäpallo field and theres H, J and M, atleast. I suddenly realise that J is not so good looking. I have to compete against J and M. I run down the hills and jump from these wooden platforms to another. Then I see the teddy bear and I take it, I lift it above my head and start to run the hill upwards. I see the dissapointed faces of M and J. After I've ran awhile I notice that I have a pretty good endurance and at the same point I feel exhausted and I grab this young tree because I feel like im going to fall down.

We are on some kind of field trip with our class and at the same time its like a competition like amazing race, or something. Our teacher is complaining about my and N's shorts, but she doesnt notice first that I have shorts. Shes complaining about them because there might be snakes sliding in the tall grass. Next Im at this field wheres lots of grass its in the middle of a forest. Im watching out for the snakes and the next thing I notice theres lots of pink, long and big earthworms on the grass. S is joking something about them and then Im joking about them too, and like jumping over them.
Then Im at this room wheres computers and guys surfing on the internet. Its my team from the competition. I find some old videos about L on youtube, and at first I dont want to show them to her, but when I try to switch the video there comes another video about her, everytime. Then L notices it and Im like "Hey heres some videos about you, well look at that" and shes laughing and "Oh my, I look so bad in those." Then we need to continue the competition and we are going downstairs to eat some food. I go to the stairs and feel like someone is going to scare me from behind. I turn around and this girls which reminds me of O, is laughing and says something "No, you noticed me". I go to the kitchen and O tries to scare me again, but fails. Theres some waffles for us to eat and H comes from a door...
Next Im looking out the window in our kitchen and I see that L's team drives to the frontyard with a grey car. Im eating candy at the same time. I dont want to bump into them so I run upstairs to my room. I see that someones been "funny" and has turned on lights on ppls mopeds. The guy has got my mopeds lights to work and Im amazed because of that. I go to my brothers room to find out whos guilty and T is there. Im wondering to him how he got the lights on my moped to work, then he says something "I just held down the glutch and started it"

Good morning, everybody.

Dream #1

There were a woman and man in some dark area at night. The area seemed to be inside, like in some dark, abandoned factory.

The woman and man were both strong and sexy in a comic book sort of way. They were both very pale. The woman had red hair and wore some kind of small outfit. The man may have had pale blonde hair and probably wasn't wearing a shirt.

The woman was the leader of a gang of killers. Most of the members of the group were women. And, mostly, the aim of the gang was to kill men. The man may have led a group of men.

The man had done something wrong, possibly to betray the woman in some slimy, underhanded way. The woman was very poweful. She had the man in her grip. She was strangling him and drowning him in some pool of water.

Eventually the man went limp. The woman may actually even have cut off the man's head by the force of her grip.

But I now saw that the man had just feigned death so the woman would let him go. He fedll deeper and deeper into the water, as if this were a big river in some city. He had his head. He had been falling with his back down. Now he twisted around so his stomach faced down. He swam away. I knew he was going to gather people to fight against the woman.

There were two women in a car in a dark, deserted, alley-like street in the city. Both women were part of the gang of killers.

One woman had gotten out of the car. She had been in the driver's seat. She walked around to the passenger side and got the other woman's attention somehow, letting her know she should get out of the car.

The first woman knew that the woman in the car was young and naive. The first woman was taking the second woman to the leader. Apparently the second woman had done something wrong and was now going to be punished, probably killed.,

I remember 4 dreams tonight, in the right order.

In the first one, I was lucid. I was in a room with SI and my brother, I remember thinking that everything was really vivid. I told SI : "Remember the number 1!" He nodded, then I asked my brother "remember the number 26,5!" He said "no way, that's too hard." Now I notice a blue fluid on the ground, it was completely blue. But it behaved like water at the beach, it had waves and so on. I decided to get down and feel it, it felt wet on my hand, and as I laid down in it, I felt the waves caress me. I got up again, and looked at my right hand. I saw 7 fingers, then I wondered how many fingers I could have on one hand. I got up to 12, with 2 thumbs on it. Sadly, I didn't try to move them individually, that would be a crazy feeling. Then I got back to SI and asked him "Do you remember?" He thought a bit, and said "Yes, one!" The dream faded after this.

Now I know for sure that DCs have a short-term memory. I have to look for SI in another dream again.

At night, I was standing in front of a big building, together with Mr. Smith from Matrix. The building was about to blow up, but the only thing that happened was a big lightflash coming out the windows. Mr. Smith says that's weird, takes his gun and goes in. I follow him, taking my own gun. We tiptoe through the corridors, giving each other cover. I woke up, my family was getting ready for school/work.

At night, I was one of two bodyguards of misaki (I think the show is called railgun or something). We are invited at a village, and misaki decides to take a walk around the village. After a while, we notice that men are following us. So we decide to run, in a formation. Misaki say something like "where are the other two when I need them!?" The followers get near us, they have horses. We run very fast, but the horses are a bit faster. Our formation can't be maintained at this speed anymore, me and the other bodyguard decide to face the followers, giving misaki a chance to flee. We can stop 2 horsemen, but one got through. I wake up.

It is summertime in the morning, our family is doing vacation somewhere near the baltic sea. I get on my bike and ride to the city. On my way, I meet MZ, he has long hair now. I shake his hand while driving, he hits my back friendly with his other hand. He had tools with him, looked like he was working there. I think about how many people from my highschool do live here now. I meet some people playing outside, incuding MM and 13 (Yes, Dr. House). I don't know why, but I strip my clothes off, I only had two boxers and a t-shirt on. Then I enter a shop nearby, I am looking for food. I notice the shopkeeper, he was old and only staring in one direction, he kinda looked dead already. I found the food, but lost interest in it, and got out again. Suddenly, I feel ashamed for being naked, so I walk back to my clothes and dress one of my boxers. In the process, MM snatches away my t-shirt, and 13 makes a weird comment about me. Then MM throws my t-shirt against the wall,and in fell down into some bushes. We both arrive at them at the same time, But we only find money and parts of what I think would be inside a gun, including munition. MM says " you can't touch it!" I think that I am still a soldier, so I would be suited best to take it. Then I said: "You get the money, and I get the gunparts, ok?" She agrees, but I also trick her, not giving her all the money lying on the ground. The dream ends.

These were long dreams, but don't really have time to go into great details.

Parking
I don't remember the sequence of events too well. Something about my apartment. Then parking my car in the parking lot. I'm in a hurry so I do a sloppy parking job, blocking the spot next to me. I imagine a pickup truck is there. Then I am back in the apartment. I hear a knock at my door. It's someone from the apartment office. They are yelling that my car is blocking another person and I need to move it.

Then I woke up and heard the banging sound of the construction site across the street. For a moment, it sounded like a knock at my door, just as in the dream. It took me a few moments to convince myself that the dream was just a dream and I didn't have to move my car for real.

Paycheck
I'm at work. I walk past Rachel in the hall. I sense she's trying to make eye contact, but I avoid her. She's wearing a pink t-shirt. I enter my office and sit down. I notice that my desk is facing the wrong way, toward the wall instead of toward the door. A man walks in and hand me my paycheck. I don't recognize him. I assume he must be new in the HR department. The paycheck looks weird. It looks like a Scantron test form like in high school. The amount is wrong too. It's about $450 dollars, I don't recall the exact number. That's way too low. I think for a moment that it's because it is February and that's a short month. So I walk to Rachel's office ask her about it.

Dream
Non Dream

I'm in a checkout line, trying to pay for my purchases, which consist of a bottle of expensive perfume, 3 packages of menthol cigarettes that I impulsively pick up, - Strange as I don't smoke, in fact I am very anti smoking - and something else of importance that I can't remember - I wish I could remember what this item was, I have a feeling it was important -. I have to split the tender, some cash and some on debit card. The man behind me is obviously irritated that it's taking so long for me to get it over with. After I am through the check out, the cashier pulls me aside and tells me in hushed tones that I should be wary of that man who was waiting to pay. She says that he was looking at my purchases in a certain way and she's fairly sure he will try to steal them.

My man is waiting for me at the other side of the checkout and we leave, walking out of the store into this kind of desolate landscape. The only thing visible is an old barn up ahead. We look back and that man is following us. We try to hurry without looking like we're afraid. The man reaches the barn before us and comes out armed with some sort of weapon, a pitch fork I think. He demands we give him the items I bought. I hand them over, feeling very irritated.

A Visit To The Restaurant
Original Date: 2/25/2010
Type: Ordinary - Near Lucid
Dream: Before I was about to go to the Restaurant in the city I was getting ready and so was my friend and brother. They decided to bring their tea for some reason... not sure why but I though it was stupid. Then we left off to the store, on about 1min in I looked at my hand where the night before I wrote "Dream" (Last Night which was before I went to sleep) but the "Dream" wrote on my hand seemed to be nearly erased so I thought this might be a dream but my friend and brother were mocking me saying your not dreaming. So I continued thinking that it might be possible that I am dreaming but what if I am not? When we arrived at the restaurant I just ordered some things such as Apple Juice, I was still convinced that I might be dreaming so I done a reality check. (Turning off the light and turning it back on, and punching the wall.) Everything seemed realistic so I continued on with Life or Dream. Afterwards, I woke up inside another dream. (False Awakening) I just was happy when I woke in this dream thinking I was close to Lucid Dreaming, but then I finally woke up in reality and was still happy.

Staring Down The Sights
Original Date: 2/12-16/2010
Type: Ordinary
Dream: At the time I was in a two story house staring down at the gravel where was three people assaulting on a woman,
at the time I felt nervous and scared.. unsure that I would be able to fire the mosin nagant I was aiming at them.
Before this I had woken up from sounds, I believe it was a trash can falling over outside. I went to my dads room
and told them there is somebody outside and I grabbed the mosin nagant and loaded it. Time went by and I had awoken
from this dream in another dream (False Awakening), when I woke up I was suprised and thought my dream was cool and crazy. Then afterwards,
I had woke up from this dream into the real world, and upon my waking I blurted out "what the...".

Dream 1: High tech bullet
nonlucid
I have a gun and I am thinking what would happen if I shot it in my garage which is where I am holding this 22-like rifle. The bullet flies out without sound hits the ceiling and bounces off the ceiling and falls to the ground. I think it must have been a BB. I bend down to look at it and I see that it is a plastic and metal bullet (not the casing) made of many parts and even screws back together. The very pointy tip is hollow and has a little clear plastic window underneath on the flat underside. I think about how expensive this bullet must be and how secret its use must be.

Dream 2: The Bank & Brown Wasps
Nonlucid
I am in an area I remember being kind of like a church grounds or old British university grounds. I go into a bank, I’ve been here before. The last time as this time, they are setting it up but are doing business. “I’d like to see my safe deposit box” I show the teller a key. I put something into one of the boxes. Then went outside and I ran across the grassy campus to a small quaint stone bridge. There were fall leaves all over everything, just a bit like fall was starting. Looking at the bridge I see a toy frog, or something, and picked it up.
I walked off the other side of the bridge and I met up with a group of friends (a couple and a girl as I have had in a few dreams now) She was talking about some stuff that was not at all important and was a little aggravated that I was not even listening. I thought about how some things can alter the path of your life and they can be just a small event. I looked off into the sky near the far horizon and say it was getting dark there and then I saw a shooting star! Surprised I dropped what I was carrying which was now a dime. The girl pulls me along like a little kid “but I dropped my dime!” I was a little kid now and I ran off from the group, I could feel the girls radiation of “what now” frustration but did not look back.
Nearby there was a guy picking up little broken honey boxes. The honey combs where in little wooden boxes. I ran over to see and I noticed all these brown wasps on the honeycombs, I knew they packed quite a sting. The guy was one of those DCs that doesn’t recognize you so I picked up a comb. The guy did the same and chucked it to his side which is where I was and got hit on the back by the comb he threw. “HEY” I said, no recognition from him but I could feel wasps on me now and some fell down into my underwear! I could feel wasps on my butt and between my legs frantically crawling around, there was no move I could do now that would NOT aggravate them! I decided to jump and rip my shorts off in one motion. Crap that didn’t work, they are going to be pissed now! Then I think ‘this is too intense I go to get out of this dream!’ I woke up feeling the feeling residue of wasps in my shorts.

Dream 1: The Queen
Nonlucid
Me and a young woman were kneeling on the floor helping out this old lady, the stereotypical small gray dressed in dark blouse with lace on the collar type. “would you like some tea” the lady said “yes thank you.” The old lady replied. She was so polite I started to think she was the Queen of GB. After she took a sip she said “can I be alone” and the woman said “of course.” We got up and went outside to a deck area and sat on its floor. I thought about helping the Queen and how I had no experience for this job but it was a rare honor. After a moment she came outside too walking unsteady and slow. She felt appreciative and patted my shoulder, at that moment I saw her hand on my shoulder and it was like DING and a halo of light around her royal hand. Then I thought of how some people are fanatics and would go crazy for this sort of thing maybe say they’d never wash their shoulder even! She then walked off.

Dream 2: Huge Screen
Nonlucid
I am fooling with an iPhone trying to figure it out and get it set up. There is a TV screen next to me that is a huge 7 feet at least and it has a few selection buttons I can press when I configure the phone at certain stages. I am standing right next to the huge screen and push the screens touchable buttons and look back at the phone but it isn’t working correctly for me.

My school friends and I were sitting lined up, all eating rice dishes. I was already eating what looked like tandoori rice, but I said, "Lucky I have some rice too!!" And pulled out another container of plain rice, and mixed it in.
