non-lucid

My dream recall from last night is terrible, but I'm just trying to keep in the habit of journaling.

I remember being on a beach somewhere. It was very hot and sunny, and I noticed that I was becoming sunburnt. At one point, I remember floating above the sand and talking to others at the beach.

I was indoors somewhere, in front of a large mirror. I was getting dressed up for something (can't remember what). My hair was thick and curly, in contrast to my regular smooth and straight. I was fastening a large ornate clip to my hair which had several long colorful feathers hanging down from it.

Unfortunately this is all I can remember.

*~*

Two dreams during my nap. The first involved a co-worker that I get along with really well. The zombie apocalypse had happened and my co-worker and I were part of a small group of people that large companies who had started to rebuild themselves after the apocalypse would hire to go into heavily infested buildings and clear out the zombies so they could use the facilities again. Along the way we would pick up food, medicine, scrap, and anything that we could find of value and sell it as part of our fee for doing the job. My co-worker had her teenage son and daughter with her (she has no children in real life), and there were I think three or maybe four other older gentleman that was part of the group.

In my dream we had several new stops for where we could go and one of the places on the list was a pet facility that I had worked at before starting the new job I had now (I hated this job and was miserable though none of my past grudges came up in the dream. It was just another building to me). It was an especially bad job because it was filled with turned animals which, at least as far as the dream was concerned, were one of the more difficult problems you could deal with.

So we got into the main lobby and were talking about how we were going to handle this. I was told that I needed to stay back along with the two teenagers. Suddenly the lobby was overrun with zombies. I tried to help fight, but even though I was firing my gun and hitting them nothing was happening. Like if you were playing duck hunt and your little controller gun was broken. My co-worker finally convinced us to run and we went to the arena (the building was originally a warehouse and he had made the middle part this huge open area where dogs could play and such). I remember the structure of the building was all wrong. We were able to go straight into the arena area from the lobby where in the real building there is a long hall with two other sectioned off parts on either side before you reach the arena ramp.

My co-worker told us to get into the arena where we would be safe, but as we were going down the ramp we saw where the arena was flooded with zombies, most of them dogs. We rushed back up the ramp and along this pathway towards the hotel section (that didn't actually exist in the real building) and into the hotel (he had built a giant wall that made it look like a building within a building). Instead of there being the dog kennels like I remember we were greeted with a series of rooms that didn't seem to make any sense. They lead into each other haphazardly and there didn't seem to be any hallways that you could go down. We all got kind of split up until I finally found my co-worker again.

Everyone had decided that this work was just far to dangerous and not worth the time and effort so they were going to scavange what they could and just drop it. Her two teens had found some medications in the vet clinic part of the building (one of them being an anti-itch med that I bought for my Bella just today actually). After we met up with them we started to run out of the building and that's about when I kind of woke myself up.

During the whole thing I don't remember seeing any zombies that looked like anyone I knew who worked there. They were all just either animals or nameless faces.

*~*

My second dream was a rather abrupt one that happened after I feel back asleep. I was in this building with someone else. I can't remember who they were or what they looked like. We were in a building that was supposed to be haunted. I ran upstairs for some reason and realized suddenly that something bad was about to happen and started furiously trying to get back downstairs again. There was a sense of urgency like I had to get out immediately. I ended up running into the person again as we both fled. We managed to get free of the place and hopped into a car and started to drive off as fast as we could around the parking lot. Then it ended.

I know there was a lot more to it I just can't remember any of it. It left me almost as soon as I woke up.

15 feb 11

This is all one incoherent dream (as nearly all of mine are, unfortunately).

Firstly, i seem to remember something about mine and Am's dvds being nicked. Not that we witnessed this, we came back to find it.

Then, i don't know if it's as a concequence, we were watching Coronation st. online. Which had an endless list of episodes, dating back years. We watched parts of a few, leading up to the tram accident. Which is where Am loses interest and i watch with some degree of interest.
Sometime later, Am rings us up and asks us to come over. And i was in Gatley for some reason. Maybe visiting my gran. ?? So then i put my dog in my bed with the covers over her in MY bed (which would imply i was at home, but nevermind).
I walk out the house in Gatley, and was going to walk it, but then decided to get the train from the station.
When i get to the station i spray myself with deoderant for some reason. The train comes and i get on. Its full of teenagers with earphones in, listening to music. Everyone starts shouting out what there listening to.
I shout out "nothing!"
because i wasn't listening to anything at the time because i didn't have anything to listen WITH.
Then i realise it's at my stop just as it starts to go. And i press a button like on a bus to get off, and get up.

And then i wake up. So i don't know if i made it off or not. I guess now i will never know. Oh no.

Okay so for those of you who do not know - I'm pansexual, so this dream did not come as a shock to me. If you wanna know what pansexual means, google it, I CBA to explain.

Okay, so I dreamed I was 'in' Glee. My friends where there aswell. So we were just hanging out by the beach, palm trees, nice golden sun. The cheerleaders from the show were there, Santana and Britney. In the show, they make out, so it again was not shocking to see it happen in my dream. Only this time, I got in it. It was kinda awesome... I feel like a perv. :')

I went into the science labs in the school and they were growing all sorts of weird vegetables... I remember staring at them and thinking 'weeeeeird'. I got a tomato type thing thrown at me... not cool.

Anyways, the last thing I can remember about this dream is talking to my friend Katy. I have no idea what we were saying, but it seemed important enough. Least to say, I woke up a bit confused, as I do most mornings. My sleep is always kinda broken.

I am sitting in a classroom and the teacher is partnering people up for something. I hope my
partner will be someone I get along with. When she calls my name I listen for the name of
my partner. The teacher says "Astral Pixels". A boy turns around in his seat a little ways in
front of me and the dream ends. I wake up and think, wow I just had a dream involving
someone from DV.

I am on a bus and I have my Alto Saxophone. There is a lady going around having people play
for some sort of audition. She gets to me and I play "Sonata for Eb Alto Saxophone by Wolfgang
Jacobi". She then goes on down the rest of the bus. The dream ends.

Two random, remembered bits from the last few days:

-A dream about Kurt from Glee
-A scenerio for the next Supernatural episode

Dream Lucid Me DC

I´m in my school with some other students. I find out, that the zombie apocalypse has begun and we´re hiding in the school building. More survivors show up. I look at some posters on the wall. One of them says something like "Join the survivor club. We´re a friendly community and we´re more than happy to welcome you to our fight against the undead." or something like that. Then I somehow got bitten by a zombie and got infected. I fell to the ground and started to crawl on the floor. But after awhile, I just stood up and said "Just kidding, I just wanted to scare you." And then teachers started to give us our tests for some reason. (Zombie apocalypse survival test?) I woke up.

Pizza at School (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Log: 11:30 Teusday, February 14-15th, 2011
6:00
Hours:6:30m Alarm: 5:45am Audio: None

This dream starts as i am going down the stairs that lead to the East Atrium, and i need to get something to eat for lunch. I noticed that the line, that of which was formed right to the left of the bottom of the stairs, was quickly getting bigger. I ran as fast as i could but didn't make it very high up in the line regardless. But surprisingly, the line went really fast. I was to the front in no time. I wanted a couple pieces of pizza so i kindly told the lunch lady what i wanted. Two pieces of cheese pizza. She acknowledged me and grabbed for the pizza. She repeated, "Ok, so one cheese and one pepperoni." I was confused, but i knew that the lunch ladies were tempermental and slightly crazy. So she finished putting them onto a counter, and then she started getting out that little piece of paper that they put them on. The second lunch lady in the kitchen started asking the first what the piece of paper even was. he first went on to tell her that it was just a grease collector or sponge. But she gave it to me regardless.Then something was going wrong so i just asked her if it would be easier to give me some new pizza that was sitting right there close to us. She was fairly angry so she just gave it to me and i left. I walked off to my left and walked around the atrium. I, for some reason, passed by what i thought was Jacob Carillo's house, noticing the blue suburan and thinking about why i don't pass this more often. I kept going toward the small ramp between the two atriums. As i was about a third of the way up, i came across Riley. As i was about to talk to him i noticed that Sam was walking right behind him, but i was too caught up in him to talk to her. So as we were talking, Riley was showing me either a big poster or a picture, that just happened to have him in it, and it said somehting along the lines of, " Many African children were killed by Hitler." Riley was flabbergasted at how fail this was and he was cracking up. I was laughing specifically at his facial expression. It was great. And then it ended.

Ive been taking Silene Capensis for 3 days now. One of the things that I have read about it is that you should do whilst taking it is try to think of a question where you would like guidance in your life, and the answer will come to you in a dream.
Me being 27 and bumming round in jobs that I hate, my question to the dream-spirits has been "What should I do with my life?"...because i still have no idea!

Well, I think my dream recall is definitely improving. I seemed to have lots of dreams last night that were vivid. Was this due to the silene capensis? I am not sure. I wish I had wrote them down during the night, but they were vivid enough for me to think "I will definately remember this!" Except by now, I can only remember snippets:-

Dream 1:
I am a rich and successful man. I am wearing a suit and I can buy pretty much anything I want in life. How got to be rich... either I can't remember or it was not explained.

Dream 2:
On a submarine...? Or inside some kind of metal tank with other people. No idea what this was.... Just the tiniest fragment, but I know it was a long dream. I shoudl have wrote it down!

Dream 3:
I am playing Fallout 3 whilst my girlfriend watches. She is unimpressed with the storyline. I describe to her how I love the way the civilisation is existing right on the cusp of life and death.

I am sure I had more dreams too, but i cannot recall them right now.

REAL LIFE NON-LUCID

I went to bed at at 9:15, and fell asleep for 9:30. I later woke up for a WBTB at 3:21. I had set an alarm for 4am, however I woke up before hand and thought I might as well experiment with times. When I did my WBTB, i recalled the following dream fragment:

1) I was on Last.Fm, and I was scrobbling Aphex Twin - Vordhosbn.

After 30 minutes, I went back to bed. I decided to sleep on my side for this WBTB as I find it much more comfortable, and I thought this might have been the reason why I had no success with WILDS. However, I feel laying on my side my have limited success even further, as I was continuously switching sides which probably prevented my body from relaxing properly. Anyway, I had no success :/ I recalled these dreams in the morning
2) I was walking through the art block in my school. It was sunny with only a bit of cloud coverage outside. There was an extra door on the right of the block, whereas there is normally only one on the right. The block was now made of black glass, not brick, and it was much bigger. After walking into the block, the entrance looked the same as the real entrance. Suddenly, a Facebook page appeared out of nowhere on the right I think this was almost like a hologram. I saw a very sexist comment, and this made me laugh a lot. So, I 'liked' it. However, this automatically 'liked' every single other comment on the page! This didn't bother me, as all of the other comments were sexist and hilarious. However, it was still odd.

3) I was in a holiday home abroad with my Family, however only my sister and I were in. I was sat by a desk with my Sister. The area and the desk looked very similar to the art block in my school. This dream may have linked with my last dream. We were on a laptop together, talking about something that annoyed us. I cannot remember what.

4) I had written in my dream journal that I had a dream about having sex with one of my female friends. My friend Ryan. B read this, and thought it'd be funny to tell the entire school

5) I was sat in my friend Chloe's house. Her house was on the left of a hill up to my local Sainsburies. Me and her were sat in her living room on a soft, worn sofa. It was very dark in the room with no lighting, and it was early evening in the winter, so there was very little light coming in. I had told my Mum I was going out briefly, but I decided to stay for a bit longer.

Dream - Lucid - AP

I was in what was supposed to be my friend Kacey's room, sitting on her bed. My butt was hurting (weird). Later, I took off my pants and there was a lot of blood in my underwear because I was bleeding out my butt (ahhh!!). I told Kacey and she said "Well that explains the stain on my bed." I was then told by someone that I needed to switch to softer toilet paper.

I also remember someone wanting to have sex with me, but that was not going to happen in my condition at the time.

I know there was more to this one, but that's all I can recall.

~

I was in my living room, watching my brother, who in this dream was much younger than in waking life, play with some toys. My friends Courtney and Caitlin wanted me to go to the mall with them. I had already been, so I didn't really want to go, but I went anyway. They went to Forever 21, and I went in there with them and browsed.

Then, we were in an indoor cemetery. We walked by many graves, and went through many different rooms. I think Caitlin was looking for a certain one. As we were walking, I saw cemetery workers taking these boxes out of the graves; boxes of the deceased people's internal organs, and they were cleaning them. It really grossed me out, so I turned around to leave.

~

I feel like this may be a continuation from the first dream.

I was at my boss's house, but it was much smaller than in waking life and kinda looked like Caitlin's house. Caitlin, Courtney, and my old friend Stephanie were there. My boss was standing in front of a glass sliding door. Outside the glass door was a huge field. It was dark and very cloudy outside. My boss was talking to us, when, in the distance, I spotted a tornado. I told my boss to turn around and look. She did so, and we all went outside to find the tornado shelter that was built into the ground. I herded everyone in there, but my boss didn't come in. I pointed out where the benches were. I remember I was sitting on a bench to the left, Caitlin was on the right bench, and Stephanie was on the back bench. I can't remember where Courtney was sitting.

We knew the tornado was coming closer, but my boss was still not in the shelter. Someone looked through a crack in the shelter door and said they saw her, and that she was alright. Then, the tornado picked up the shelter, and we were spinning around through the air. This lasted for a few minutes before the spinning stopped. I remember thinking to myself that it probably didn't last near as long as it felt like it did.

We exited the shelter, and it was sunny outside. We were in the middle of a field. I remember seeing a family in a garage holding a wedding ceremony. We were trying to find my boss's house again. I can't remember when or if we made it back, but I feel like we did.

~

Yet another continuation.

I was back in the house, but my friends were gone. The house was now my grandparents's old house, but it didn't look like it. My grandparents were there. I wanted to take a shower, but I knew I had to time it so as not to waste water (my grandparents used to make me time my showers with a kitchen timer when I was little in waking life).

I started the shower, and then I realized I had to eat dinner with my grandparents. I sat at the table with them. I don't remember eating, but we all talked, I think about the tornado. I know I was thinking about the tornado at any rate. I then went back to take my shower, but my grandpa had turned the water off. I was just about to turn it back on, when a very big, tall, older man entered the bathroom, and asked me if I was going to take a shower. I said yes, I was. I think he wanted to take a shower first. Then, he started asking me more and more questions.

again, non-lucid. i really need to improve on getting lucid. anyways, i was in what seemed to be an RPG. i had a party of me, my mum, my friend jake, and what seemed to be a form of my friend catherine. there were loads of puzzles we had to do, (in standared RPG format) and we progressed. what was interesting is that there ws an ice lolly stool, just randomly placed in the dungon/classroom/corridor/idk, and it selled mountian due slush in a cone. i found that strange. the last i remember of my dream is me doing a super-long cutscene move/attack in which i turned into matt smith and smeared lipstick all over my face, and the did a morris dance. then the raw awsomeness of that attack woke me up. maybe. or it could have been my mum.

i did remember alot more of this dream, but my pen for my solid DJ feel down the side of my bed.

of, and i relized that my dream sign is....wait for it....my friend jake! he's not going to like that though. he thinks lucid dreams are a load of balloney. so when everytime he walks up to me i do a RC, hes going to get very mad, very fast.

oh wells.

I remember watching something on the internet and also N was speaking to me.


Going to try WILD soon, since I got home so early.

Last night I thought I'd give WILDing a try, but I failed because I wasn't lying in a comfortable enough position. I didn't want to give it another try so I went to sleep the normal way.

From there on I remember being with friends in a city - judging from the architecture probably French - in the middle of a terrorist attack. We were armed too and tried to hide the weapons from the police who were trying to sweep through the neighbourhood.

The second part I remember is me swimming in the ocean at night, swimming towards an island far away, which I could barely see in the moonlight. Suddenly something grabbed one of my feet and pulled me down, at this moment I woke up.

I think tonight I will try to adjust my position to something a bit more comfortable where I can relax all my muscles in an attempt to get a WILD.
I'm happy though, I managed to actually recognize some of the people in my dreams
