non-lucid

Dream Lucid Me DC

First I saw an boy reading a book, which I think was the chronicles of Narnia, when the book started to grow and sucked the boy in it. (I think it was one of the kids from the chronicles of Narnia and so were the other kids.) Then I saw an girl and the same happened. (Her dog went in there too.) Then I saw an little older girl walking around some mansion. (Ghost mansion, that is.) She saw some ghosts and a little blue eyed girl playing a piano. (At this point it turned out I was watching a movie in my living room with my family and I had seen it before.) The girl "woke up" screaming on a couch, but when she looked around her, she saw that there were two skeletons sitting next to her. (FAs happen to DCs too.) Then she "woke up" again and went outside. When she came back, there was an party on her front yard. As she joined the party, lights went dimmer. She grapped the hands of two boys, one was her age and the other one was younger. The level of water began to rise. "If we hold our hands, we will go together!" ,the girl shouted. Also, the older boys side was injured. I could feel the pain he had. Then I woke up, but the dream still continued. I saw the kids swimming upwards, to the surface. Then I rolled on my bed and the image disappeared.

I woke up and I was on a bus. I wasn't too freaked out because I've nodded off on buses before. I was sitting near the front and there were two old ladies near the back. I could just make out what they were saying.

"Well, I'm somewhat glad we're finally on our way."
"I don't really regret anything."

I didn't think anything of it. I looked out the window and noticed this wasn't any usual bus route I remember. Instead of driving around town, we were driving across some kind of desert on a worn trail. The bus left a big cloud of dust behind it as it drove. I walked up to the bus driver.

"Hello, sir?" I asked.
He turned to look at me. "Yes?" he asked.
"I'm just wondering... where are we going?"
He looked solemn. He just turned away and said out of the side of his mouth, "Just... please, take your seat."

I was beginning to worry. I walked back to where the two women were so I could ask them.

"Um... pardon me a moment. Where is this bus going?" I asked.
They looked uneasy. "You don't know?" one of them asked. I shook my head.
The other just mumbled, "Oh dear..."
After a pause, the first woman said, "Sweetie... you're dead."
"...what?" I finally managed.
"Why didn't you tell him?" the second woman yelled to the bus driver.
"I didn't want to tell a kid the bad news!" he answered.

I wandered back to my seat in shock. After a while, I looked up to the driver again and said, "I can't be dead!"
"No?" he asked.
"No!" I said. "I was just napping in my bed!" This was true, I was napping around two in the afternoon when this dream happened.
"Really, now. Then why don't you just wake up?" he asked.
And I tried. I tried to wake up. I tried to open what was my physical eyes beyond what I could currently see and feel. After a while, I could not wake up. Panic began to build in me.

As time passed, some more people started to just appear on the bus. Some people in army uniform, more older women and gentlemen, but I just sat there not knowing what to think. There was so much I wanted to do. So much I didn't get to experience.

At some point, there was a bright light building on the horizon. We started to drive into it and it got brighter and brighter. When everything was perfectly white, I felt myself floating. Then I was on my feet and when the brightness went away, I was in my house.

"So... that's it?" I thought to myself. I wandered into the kitchen. I opened up the refrigerator looking to see if anything had changed. As far as I remember, everything was the same, which meant the fridge was not that full. "I'll have to go to the store later," I said out loud.

"The store?" someone asked behind me. It was followed with a disapproving sigh. I looked behind me to see who said that. Of all the people I hoped it wasn't, who I saw was at the top of the list.

It was the bus driver.

"I can't be dead!" I yelled. "This is my house! This is where I live! This is my neighborhood! Look!" I ran to the front door and opened it. I could look down the street both ways and it was exactly how I remembered it. "See!? I can see down both directions!"

He just shook his head at me.

"I-I can't be dead!" I pleaded. "There are so many stories I haven't written! So many comics I haven't drawn!"

"I'm sorry," he said. "We can't let anyone go back except for special cases."

"What about stories?" I asked. I knew it sounded ridiculous, but I had to try. "What if I wrote a story so good that they had no choice but to send me back to share it?" He shrugged. I didn't know what he meant, but anything that wasn't a flat out rejection gave me hope. I thought for a while. "I'll have to do it within a certain someone's lifetime..." I said to myself.

After that, I woke up. I laid there staring at the ceiling not knowing if I was really alive or not.

Non-Lucid
Wow! My first two lucids were months apart but my second and third were only a week or so!
----------
There were two house boats on the water. Laura went over to visit one and I got ready to swim over to it as well. A lady had previous come and scattered lots of extremely yellow dandelions all over the ground so I picked up a bush of dandelions. I swam over, as I swam one of the dandelions fell off, but I caught it in my mouth. When I reached the boat Laura was already talking to the girl who owned it. She only looked about 14 or so. She didn't know too much about civilisation. The boat was a small raft made out of logs with a shower to one side and a privacy curtain. It did not have a roof.
"I wouldn't like to live ona house boat," Laura said.
"Yeah - I wouldn't like to live with all this water - like surrounded by it all either.
"I don't like it either," the girl said.
I showed her the way that I'd covered some of my school books. She liked two of them but wasn't really impressed by the other two, "Yeah - I only brought them for bathmats," I said and folded them (they had turned into two red towels) in half and found the shower and put them down.

I had a quick shower and hopped out and began to dry myself. Laura walked behind one of the pricvacy curtains and it fell down. I told her and she put it back up again. Then, as we left the girl gave us some foreign coins that in the dream were our currency. We visited her a lot and each time she gave us more money. One time she gave us $50 000 and Laura and I decided taht we should return it but when we turned around she was gone.

I bought myself a front row seat at a big stadium where a tribal sort of ceremony was going to be held. My Mum asked me where I had gotten front row tickets from and I told her that some people from the back row were being moved to the front row. After I'd said that, a big announcement was made repeating the exact same thing. My Mum nodded and I took my seat. The show began and some dancing Indians walked through the entrance.

I was running down the street with Shelley, Vivian and Jessie. Jessie suddenly stopped and we ran to the other side of the shops before we stopped to wait for her. The next thing we saw was Jessie in a kangaroo suit, rounding the corner, laughing.
"Run!" I shouted and we ran.
Shelley and I stuffed our faces with popcorn as we ran. We reached a ship and ran onto it. As we rounded a corner Shelley, Vivian and I pinned ourselves to the wall. Jessie ran past us but suddenly stopped, turned around and ran past us again. She ocntineud running back and forth. I laughed because this was an obvious time to do an RC in case something like that ever happened in a dream. I plugged my nose and was surprised when I found that I could breathe through it. I tried again and could still breath then I became lucid as I poked my finger through my hand. I rememberd how in my last lucid dream I had not taken enough time to think and had not remained focussed and had lost lucidity. I also remembered that one of my goals was to find my dream guide. I told myself that when I turned around there would be a door there and through the door there would be my dream guide.

I turned around and the door was there but when I opened it my dream guide wasn't there. I was quite disappointed. Then I felt my dream beginning to fade around me so I remembered the stabilization tutorial I had read and fell backwards focusing on a bell on the roof.

When I looked around again I wasn't sure where I was, until I decided that I was ina bell tower. Clarity was weak and the whole dream was wobbly and I felt myself beginnign to become more aware of my physical body. I tried falling backwards again but it no longer felt real. Suddenly a person emerged from the shadows and as my vision went dark all I could see were her eyes glowing golden.
----------
I was part of a strange family and on this particular morning I wanted to sneak away from them so I got dressed in a shower curtain and ran out past them and they never noticed anything.
^ wth?
----------
I was my Grandmother's cat - Dennis. I had run away and been taken in by a pet store who were treating me like royalty. I got everything that I wanted. One day my RL family came to look in the pet store . I didn't want them to recognise me so I hid my face from them. The petshop owner however wanted to show me off. She coaxed me out with food and eventually I stuffed my face in the delicous bowl of cat nip.
"We think he must be pedigree," the shop worker said.
I felt proud and I knew that I hadn't been recognised.

So I don't really know if this was from last night or beforehand, but I remembered it will posting on the forums. I was at summer camp (kind of- it was a weird Chuck E. Cheese/old farmhouse hybrid that made very little sense, but my mind told me it was summer camp) and they weren't feeding us enough food and everyone was angry. There was a job offering- if you would pull a massive handcart full of food, then you would get extra food. This random guy and I accepted, and most of the dream was just us running on a dirt road in the country, dragging the cart with us. We passed through the hick version of the ghetto, and we arrived at a quaint little house with two old ladies who took the food from us. Then we had to run back, and I woke up.

I was at the ranch again. It seemed to be springtime, and in the middle of the day. I was watching as the trail ride went by some random field. I squeezed my horse into a canter. I thought about how I used to be able to just canter across a field. Then MA was there, on a horse as well. The trail ride was doing something, and for once I wasn't leading, so I asked her where she wanted me to go. Then I asked her if she could explain how all of the placements worked. She asked how I didn't know all of this by now, and I told her that I'd never been taught. She then started explaining that she always sent me out as leader near the nighttime because the horses get in heat or something. I was confused because I was asking about this trail ride, not all rides in general. It ended there.

My Notes
Non-lucid
Lucid
Awake

So I wake up to make 6 hour alarm as usual. I realise quickly that I'm far too sleepy to try WILD. I can't focus on anything. Being in this drowsy state, I never think of getting up and waking up.

I have a short dream. In the dream I'm in bed still. My parents are talking to me about how It's very late, and I'm going to be late for school. I wake up quickly, very relived that didn't actually happen.

I get back to sleep, and I have the almost exact same dream as before. I wake up, relived again.

I'm standing at an airport runway. To my left is the youtuber "T2." Suddenly, a plane appears out of nowhere and land on the runway. I notice that it's going very fast, and it's just landed at the very end of the runway. The plane makes a loud and sharp turn to the left. A few moments later, it crashes head-first into a building in the distance. I can't see the front of the plane, but I can see it explodes. The entire plane is on fire. The fire is abnormally bright. T2 makes some rude remark about the event, and then the dream ends.

I'm in a room, sitting on an old upright piano. To my right is an old-fashioned lift. To my left is a movie set similar to Star Wars.
A man walks in. He has a short beard and read hair. I know that he's a big time actor. He begins talking about how the lift is actually real. Some people (including myself) don't really believe him. I believe him a few moments later, when suddenly I get the feeling that the room suddenly moved (like when a lift does). Silly dream logic.
The man starts talking about acting. He says something about how he used to have to kiss an overweight girl who didn't like him.

A new dream begins. In this dream I'm in a grey room. The carpet is similar to mine.It is very long and narrow. The room is filled up with chairs just like a theatre: higher chairs at the back, and lower ones up front. Behind me to the left is a Japanese kid, who is also named Matt. At one point I looked at him.
At the front of the room is a small stage for people to stand. There is a teacher standing there. She is holding lots of bags. Each bag is filled with lots of small chocolate sweets. Apparently they are for a very hard school project. I'm now at the very bottom of the room. At the very bottom are two beds. Both are bunk beds. I'm sitting in one. I'm happy because nobody can see me from here.
The teacher (who is female) now takes me into the other room. Annoyed, she asks me why I didn't receive a bag. I respond by saying each time I got mine, it turned out to be for another Matt. After all this the teacher started going on about something else I've forgotten. She accepted this, and I went back into the bed.
There was a middle-aged teacher (male) standing on the stage now. He put a white metal shelf filled with valuables on the stage. A kid named Dale.C for some reason, ran straight into it. I was surprised nothing fell off. Around this time, a girl my age walked down all the chairs, across the stage and out the room completely naked. A few people yelled out childishly at her. I just looked away. This happened more than once.
The male teacher was in front of me now. He was standing in front of a small table. On the table was one of those tools you use to see if a surface is level. I was very long, red and was bent at one point, pointing up. He called me by a nickname I hate, and he asked me to help him click it into place. I'm holding it and I just can't seem to manage. I tell him I'm no good and this stuff and sit down, slightly embarrassed. He keeps calling me that nickname, but nobody laughs. A large student then jumps on the tool. I can't remember what he did to it though.
There's another kid on the bed with me now. He shows me how to fold the quilt. The quilt is black and has the texture of a sleeping bag. I thank him. That's all I remember from the dream.

I'm somewhere outside my local milk bar. There are lots of black people around me, all of them wearing black clothes made of leather. For some reason I just know they're trolls (like internet trolls, but in real life), and they're about to troll the milk bar. I go into the milk bar. There are about 5 of them walking around, one of which is a girl. I expected there to be more. One of them walks into a room he's not supposed to be in. There's an Asian substitute worker there. She seems overwhelmed, and she doesn't know how to deal with all of them.
I grab a big blue bar of chocolate and some sort of drink. I ask the lady how much it will all cost, and she says something like, "2 dollars in English pound, 4 dollars 53c in Australian currency." I figure I have about 70c to spare. I look around asking how much everything costs. I want to buy the best item worth 70c. I end up buying a strange twisted light pink strap.
I notice my blue chocolate bar is already open and some blocks are missing. I go to replace it with a new one, and wonder if it's rude to do so. I pass one of the trolls who is about my age, and we laugh about something. I walk up to the counter and turn in all the stuff I want to buy. I take out a pile of coins and realise that most of them are English coins (I live in Australia). I try to read them, but they're in a language I've never seen before. I apologise to her, and she tells me I have to put one item back. I look down to find I have about 3 different drinks. I don't remember buying any of them. I can only keep one. She suggests I keep the orange one. I agree, but I still don't have enough. I ended up having to pay her back. I say I'll promise to remember to pay her back, because if I don't I'd feel very guilty and bad.

Sorry for the wall of text. I had to write this down on my iPod when I woke up, and again just now. Painful.

I remember leaving school with Ben to go somewhere. He had just taken some kind of test and I somehow got out of taking it. I felt anxious because I ddin't wanna waste all my gas. Then he offered to drive. We got in his car. We went to the gas station. He asked me for some money for gas. I told him I didn't really have any, that's why I asked you to drive, but maybe I have a few ones. Then he took 2 checks out of his pocket, one for $60 and another for $10. Then he said something about toppings to the guy. He went outside and started making a pizza at the gas pump. He had a big square pizza shell and was pumping pizza sauce out of the gas pump onto it. I remember being hungry and wanting some but at the same time feeling grossed out thinking that pizza probably has gas on it.

I had a bunch of FAs too. In one Daniel in his friends were in my room and I was trying to get them out. My dad came in and said Oscar's dad was here and led him out. Sean was looking through a big stack of holographic pokemon cards. I asked them if those were Chris' and he said no, Jackie gave them to me.

In another my phone was ringing or maybe I just got a text. When I found the phone it was my sister's. I had this weird charger with a bunch of small magnetic balls on it that connected to the phone. When I connected them there were balls on the phone too.

Then I had this crazy dream where I was going to take part in a science experiment. This was another FA and everything took place in my room. I talked to the scientist fro a minute and they told me I would have to wait a few minutes so I went back to bed. I was WILDing. I saw amazing visuals as I lay there. Then I heard the scientists voice and remembered that I was supposed to be doing an experiment so I jumped out of bed totally naked and the scientist, who could see me from the hallway, made a joke. There was a lot more to this but I don't remember it now.

I dreamt I was on a bus with my husband. Everytime I dream of that man, he's mean to me. In real life he is not. I sat on a bus with no shoes, no phone, no money, and no idea of where we were going. I was totally confused and out of my element. Suddenly, he decided to get off the bus for just a moment. Well, of course, he was gone for the rest of the trip. I was terribly upset and worried. I had no idea of how I was going to get home or back to him.

Later, in the end, I met up with him after a whole bunch of emotional stuff happened on the bus. He kept walking too fast for me, leaving me behind. I suddenly realized in the dream that he was doing it on purpose to lose me. I realized that he left me on the bus on purpose.

Oddly, he is a faithful guy who I have been with for 15 years. He is totally opposite of this person he looks like in the dream. It is so weird how I am always getting my "Horrible husband" dreams. I will continue to post them as they come. There are so many details but if I write them all, I will bore anyone who is reading this. LOL

02/05/11

"You're leaving? How the hell are you planning to get out of the city?"

"By bus."

"That route's run by the gangs. Do you know what they could do to you?"

"I'd kill them if they tried."

"You'd try to kill them, you mean."

"Well, yes."

An image forms in my mind. The bus I'm on, forced to the side of the road. The leader grabs me by the arm, hauls me to my feet. Keeping center of balance low, I take a quick step past him. Use his grip against him, grab, throw, dislocate his shoulder. Follow through to the next man, punch to the solar plexus. Disarm the knife, strike to the throat.

Unrealistic? Depends on reaction time of second man. Don't underestimate.

"Fine," she says, with the look of a person with too many stubborn people in her life. "I'm coming with you."

One Way. Scare Factor: 2.

Plans: I didn't have any specific plans for tonight, though I was rather expecting a DDO based dream since I have been playing a lot of DDO lately… My main goal is still to have more consistent recall, as that has been very unpredictable lately. I have some recall from last night, and here it is.

Hell Is For Children
I am in a dungeon like the kind that is found in the online game DDO, Dungeons and Dragons Online. I am there looking for some prisoners, a woman in a nearby town has told me that the kobolds have kidnapped several children and are holding them captive in these very caves. Of all weird things, I have a log book in my pocket and I am able to look back over the goals I have for this quest. Find and rescue all of the children, 5 left. Kill Sagun Krent, who is apparently one of the leaders of the kobolds. Kill Darren Drexel, who is a human traitor, and apparently helped the kobolds get hold of the children in the first place. Destroy the kobold dungeon (optional) is on the end of the list. Ok, so now that I have the goals memorized, I put the log in my pocket and form Witchblade into a sword and armor. The dungeon is pretty basic, there are quite a few kobolds guarding the place, and also quite a few barrels and crates to smash, I am finding a decent amount of money. I find a locked door quite a ways in, and the kobold guarding the door has the key, so I kill that kobold and go into the main prison area. There are a few more kobolds there, I kill them, and then use some thieves tools I have on me to pick the locks to the prison cells that each have a child in them. Four children. One left. I have two girls and two boys with me, they all grab daggers from a pile of weapons stashed in the corner, not wanting to be defenseless. We look for fifth child. There is a torture room, the girl is naked and chained to a table with a kobold on top of her, forcing himself on her. Before I can act, the other four children swarm the kobold, stabbing it with their daggers, it falls off the girl and bleeds to death. Pick the locks on the girl's chains, find some rags to use as temporary clothing, she is more traumatized than the others. On the way out Sagun Krent blocks our exit. I fight him, the traitor Darren Drexel tries to grab the kids, the four stab him to death. The one girl is huddled on the floor. I kill Sagun Krent. All mandatory tasks complete. Now I can recall… no recall button? Of course not! This isn't a game! Kids and I make our way out, killing a few lingering kobolds on the way. I notice some barrels of explosives near the entrance, convenient, so once we're all outside, I detonate them with an energy ball, and the entrance to the cave collapses. All goals complete. I lead the kids back to the town, I use a healing spell on the one girl to help her overcome her trauma. Parents are thrilled to see their kids, want to give me rewards, but I wake up


One Woman Army
I am in the town of Korthos from DDO, and everyone is in a state of panic. I ask someone what is going on, he says the city is about to be overrun by devourer servants… not on my watch! I go to the front gate where there are a few warriors trying to hold the gates, there are many enemies just outside it. I say I will fight, they say it's too late, and they can't open the gates, they need to give the people a chance to escape. I jump over the gate and I am now facing a huge group of surprised enemies, that seem to be made up of sahuagin, various classes of human devourer minions, kobolds, zombies, and skeletons. What a nice mix. I use an Alex Mercer archetype and form my arms both into his sword blades and charge directly into the group, cutting enemies down as I charge through them, they are momentarily too surprised to respond much, this is totally unexpected. I am in the middle of the group now and I use a tendril barrage devastator attack and send razor sharp tendrils through all of the enemies anywhere near me, huge numbers of enemies of all kinds are killed by this. Now the ones who had been ready to attack are being killed before their attacks can actually land, others are just trying to get out of the path of my attacks. It's the devourer forces who are now panicking, they hadn't realized that many of them could be killed that quickly, so many of them are running away, the leaders are getting pissed and saying it's only one person, kill her, you cowards. There is one leader each, a devourer priest, a sahuagin priestess, a kobold chief, and a necromancer that is of a race I don't recognize. The human priest is closest, so I form one hand into an Alex Mercer claw and crush his neck to shut him up. I use a tendril from my left hand to pull the sahuagin priestess to me and then cut her in two with a blade formed of my right hand. I charge at the kobold chief and knock him to the ground, then impale him there with three tendrils… the necromancer is running, leaving undead to guard his back. I use a variant of Alex Mercer's ground spike attack, sending biomass into the ground that erupts through the ranks of the undead in a wave that keeps going until it catches up with and impales the necromancer. Except for the undead, the enemies are fleeing… cowards… disorganized, fleeing into the hills and surrounding wilderness. I use the blade to cut through the remaining undead, and soon all that remains outside the Korthos gate is a lot of dead bodies and blood. Two stunned Korthos guards are looking out of the gate, gaping at me, one of them says, "What the fuck are you?"

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

There was a woman walking in the desert with a man. They were attacked by another man and she should have been able to fight but she couldn't because she had switched bodies with another woman. The man had also switched bodies, you could tell by his shadow and his reflection.

Just a fragment from last night.

A dream character asking me over and over "Are you dead?"
Each time I answered "No, I am not dead" he would ask the same question. I woke up with the question ringing in my ears.

Games (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

this one starts out in some woods, next to a lake or pond. im walking with my parents and sister and her boyfriend. we stop at a spot next to the water and start fishing. my stepdad and mom seem to be really good at it in this dream. for some reason, my fishing line is the thickness of an extension cord cable, and i cant seem to catch anything with it (wonder why). my stepdad takes it and tries with it, and gets it stuck on something underneath the water. i pull on it, and end up ripping the end of it off. i get mad and give up on it. i then walk away, this part gets hazy, and the next thing i remember is being inside a virtual videogame, but it looks realistic. the point of the game is to battle the other opponent i think, who happens to be my friend vinny, hes real too. i dont actually remember fighting him, i remember trying to avoid him a lot. throughout the area (which i dont remember much of) were scattered Ipod touches, which acted like teleporters lol. it would teleport you to a different location in the world. i remember at one point seeing him and hiding, waiting for him to enter one of the Ipods near me. i had tried to enter it a second before i saw him, but there was something near the Ipod, and apparently if something was near the Ipod, it wouldnt work. after he passed me, i ninja-like sneaked away and found another Ipod. as i got near it i think he saw me, as he started coming after me. i made it through the ipod just in time, coming back out into the woods, next to my mom. there was an ipod sitting inside a tree stump coming up to my chest. i had left the game, and now i was trying to help vinny get out. i grabbed the ipod and saw him, but he was like anime, and the view was like a 2-D side scrolling view. after a memory gap, im in some livingroom with my parents, and i get a text from him on an Amazon kindle i just happened to have, it said something like "hey wanna play a game of tetris? dont tell me your scared of games now..." i think i said no lol.

Intelligent dog (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

in this one, i found a dog in store, it can communicate somehow, like through paw gestures, i think it actually talked at one point. i remember asking it how old it was, it was ten i think. but when i told my mom about it, she didnt believe me. it then gets hazy, i remember being in some sort of office, with red walls, like a psychiatrist or something. then im back in the store, but my vision is like a movie camera now. the dog is in some sort of deli area, all of the workers there love it, they kept talking to it. it convinces them to leave a platter of food for its owner, gesturing with its head. but i think he ate it lol.
