non-lucid

---

I'm at an amateur skateboarding competition with a friend of mine. We, along with what seems like a hundred other skaters, enter a large flat area lined with quarter pipes. All the participants stand on top of the ramps facing the center, where several people in charge are introducing the event. They begin to pass the microphone around and each person is urged to say something.

Several people babble about nothing, but I remember thinking they sounded cool. I worried about how I would come off. My companion was passed the microphone and, in my opinion, made a solid impression on the crowd. The microphone was then handed to someone else. Then to me. I said in a sarcastically monotonous voice, "Fuck the police, comin' straight from the underground. Young negro got it bad cause I'm brown." Most of the crowd thought it was pretty funny. I looked around to make sure I didn't upset anyone and passed the microphone on.

This is the last I remember of this portion of the dream. To the best of my knowledge, it preceded the following dream.

non dream - lucid - non lucid

I’m playing golf with a famous person for some reason.
It’s the first time I play golf, but I’m ridiculously skilled at it and win easily…

(false memories, never seen the place nor the women)
… I’m back “home”.
I live with my girlfriend in a rather weird house. We cuddle on our bed a bit but suddenly remember that we forgot to get something important from the city…

… We’re in the city now, riding on a train. The train starts braking for no reason. We look outside and see missiles falling from the sky.
We’re scared; it appears a war has just started. Explosions start going off everywhere, one missile hits our track right in front of the train and it starts derailing.
We quickly open our window and jump out before the train falls into the hole left by the missile.
I look up. So this is what the end of the world looks like. The sky is red from all the explosions and fire. Missiles everywhere and fighter jets shooting each other and falling off the sky burning.
We run into the city, trying to make it into the subway system, hoping that we may be safe there. (I've never lived close to a big city or a place with a subway)
As we run through the city, some skyscrapers start falling over and a fighter jet crashes right in front of us. The heat of the explosion hurts and forces us to run into a building.
We leave it on the other side, but another jet crashes straight through the street right in front of us.
We’re both on the very edge of the hole left by the plane,starting to fall in.
I turn myself around and push my girlfriend back up and she barely manages not to fall into the hole… but I do…

… I wake up in some sort of futuristic hospital. There are two nurses attending to me, both wearing something that resembles a hooters outfit more than that of a nurse…

… I’m being told it’s the year 2046. After my fall I was in stasis because they couldn’t fix me up with the current technology.
What I witnessed was the beginning of world war 3. The newly elected president of America was a fanatic Christian and ordered all non-Christians including all Atheists to be killed all over the world.
Now, over 30 years later, everyone is at peace and religious disputes no longer exist, the governments are transparent and censorship no longer exists.
But we’ve paid the price, the current world population is only approaching 1 billion at the moment…

…I’m being interviewed... they ask me about the golf game which confuses me because I don't think it's important.
Next I am asked what my plans are now, considering that all of my knowledge is outdated, yet I haven't aged a bit. I’ll probably have to learn a new job.
I ask the interviewer what the current situation with space exploration is, because I've seen a recruitment poster somewhere.
He says they recently discovered ways to create FTL drives, and an exploration project will start any moment now, they’re actually searching for peoples willing to be trained for space travel.
I tell him that I’ll try to join the program then, in hopes of becoming a pilot…

Lucid Dream

Date: Night of January 26, 2011

It's around one in the morning, and I was just finishing up my first DJ entry before I decided I ought go to sleep. After logging out of all of my things, I went to my room and once again popped a CD with soft piano melodies. Getting in my bed, I feared that I might have a nightmare due to the fact that I was playing DOOM earlier. But I eventually put that aside and simply repeated the words, "I will wake from my dreams and completely remember them," until I finally fell asleep.

I'm running. From what? I'm not sure, but I keep up the pace. I look to my left, then to my right, before hopping over some stream. I'm in a forest, and I'm brushing aside foliage as I continue running. I don't feel exhausted at all, but I know I've been running for a long time. I come to a clearing, and I walk up some stone steps. Once at the top, I look around myself. Behind me is indeed a forest, or rather a jungle. The one I was just running through. Looking downwards, I see the stones that I walk upon. It's a yellowish gold color, and there's moss in the cracks. Looking ahead I see two staircases. Both of them extremely, unimaginably high. They stretch farther than the eye can see, all the way up through the clouds. I turn to my right and see my brother, Miguel, and a very close family friend, Nathan.

"Miguel, you're not going up there, are you?" I ask him.

"Yea, I am. It's the fastest way."

I then remember that this is a race. That's why I was running through the jungle. Both Miguel and Nathan appear to have been running through the jungle just as hard as I had.

"But don't you see how high it is? What if you fall?"

"We won't, trust me." he replied.

"Look! The higher you get, the smaller the steps are!"

"I said don't worry. We got this."

And with that, they ran up the steps, soon out of my sight. I sigh, and continue on my own path. I re-enter the jungle, and soon I come to some building. After running around it, I find out that the jungle ends here, and a city begins. Though it's not a city like New York. It's more like a town... or a village! It's a villageof some sort that I've come across. I then hear some man talking. He turns out to be a politician. Upon closer inspection, he turns out to be a Chinese man. Obviously from the reaction of the crowd around him, they do not accept his speech at face value. The appear to believe that he is a crooked man, and I also seem to get that feeling from him. I get tired of listening to him, and continue on my way. However I stop running, and simply walk.

I casually glance around, and it is in fact, a small Chinese village. People are grocery shopping, laughing, conversing. I cross a small bridge with water underneath and fish are in the water. Soon some yellow cloud comes out of nowhere and flies right be me. And there's a boy on it! I chase the cloud, running faster than even when I was running through the jungle. It soon comes to a stop in front of a home, a traditional Chinese home. He's talking to a girl and a boy as he sits on his cloud. After close inspection from a distance, I realize that the boy is the Avatar, and his name is Aang. And the girl and boy are Katara and Sokka, respectively. I walk up to them and realize that the cloud Aang is sitting on is Kinto'un. They greet me cheerily and invite me inside.

Soon it's evening time, and everyone is sitting around the fire. Apparently we are joined by some other female named Tsubasa, who is around the same age as the rest of the group, about 14-15. Everyone is laughing and enjoying themselves. Sokka and Aang, who is still seated on Kinto'un, are joking around. I'm laying down, facing them and the fireplace, with my head in Katara's lap, smiling, as she pets my head. Tsubasa is sitting next to us, smiling and sipping her tea, interjecting something in the conversation every now and again, accompanied with giggling.

"Why are you smiling?" Katara asks me.

"Look around, everyone's happy, laughing. Why not smile?"

She giggles and nods her head. "I suppose you are right," she replies with a smile.

She then leans down and kisses the top of my head, and soon after, I awaken.

I am with a representative of Puma who seems to resemble a cross between
Bear Grylls and Mike Rowe. There is also an old lady there. They are doing an
experiment with Puma's newest shoe, the Cabana Racer, and the representative
gives the old lady a red and orange pair of Puma Cabana Racer shoes. I point
out that I am also wearing my white-black-grey pair and the representative gets
a smile on his face and says "aahh". The old lady puts on the red Pumas and
the test is going to be a race with a race car. The car is yellow and looks quite
fast. The old lady starts running and I run as well. The car is definitely not going
its full speed but it is not going slow either. Somehow we are keeping up with it
but we are not going faster than a normal running pace. We run through a city
for a while, the car had lost us a long time ago, and after a bit we stop, look at
each other, and the dream ends.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! I've started to notice that I very often dream about either taking a piss, or taking a shit. I think that I dream about pee'ing as my bladder is full and I have to go, but I never wake up and feel the need to go number two. Weird...

22.30: Sleep

Boat, bee's
I'm standing next to two wooden rowing boats and I'm with a few people. We're about the enter the one in the front and I remember that you get really wet if you sit in the back. "I wanna sit in the front" I say. Someone tells me I can't and I shrivel up my face and pretend to start crying just for fun. Some girl buys it and tries to soothe me. We get in the boat and suddenly it's filled with foamy, warm water. We're in a hot tub and some black guy is sitting next to me. I feel like I have to pee and think about doing it right there, but I don't.

The dream skips. I enter a barn on dry land and is about to take a piss. There's a buzzing sound coming from the back of the barn and I can see thousands of flies flying around. Only it isn't flies, it's bee's! I run out and wave my arms as they try to sting me.

05.10: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 6½ hours

Supplements before bed: 2 x Omega-3, 150 ml applejuice

That's it! Friday tomorrow... I want a lucid BADLY.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

I am in an unfamiliar place. It is difficult to describe but there is a tall metal structure
with a ladder running up through it and clues to the next place to go. It's like a race only
the course unknown and this tower shows the path. I remember several of my friends
being in this race with me. We had to run around a building and I began running. I was
able to run normally and I started pacing myself so that I would be able to make it. The
person next to me went all out. I resisted the urge to match their speed, that they would
run out of breath and become tired. Sure enough, they did and I came around the building
first. but then one of my old high school teachers was there with a bunch of my friends
and she said something like "You have to wait". I forget what the reason was but making
it there so soon was for nothing. After that she let everyone go and I went back to the tower
climbed up and looked for the next "clue". I then suddenly found myself in some sort of lift
car sitting next to a couple of my friends. I was thinking of my crush and my one friend who
was sitting next to me said "Why do you like her and not me?". I think about this comment
but say nothing. We ride on the lift for a while longer and the dream ends.

I was in some house that looked like Japanese temple. I was standing near a river and saw a moons reflection in it, but not mine. I looked up at a moon and saw a thin clouds hiding it. For some reason I put a wrench in a river and started looking for another one. I jumped on wooden fence in front of my house and found a shotgun shell and took it. In a corner I saw a bullet and when I tried to take it it turned into wrench. After that I heard someone calling me and suddenly I found myself on top of my house. There were ladders leading to sky. I climbed up them and found myself fighting some huge spaceship that looked like it came from Omega Boost, at least I felt that way.

i had my first lucid, i think. anyway what happened was i was in scrubs, and elliot reed was there. i heard someone wisper in my dream "DUDE, YOUR ASLEEP" to whick my respose ws "huh" i did a reality check, and boom, i was lucid. it was moderatly clear, and i thought to my self "what the hell" and asked elliot to strip. she started to,and she started lifting her top up, and, up, and... i woke up. i got blue ball from my subconsious.

thats gotta be a new low.

Dream - Lucid

I woke up and got on Skype. My friend from Belgium that I met on this forum was online. I hadn't talked to him in a long time. He had tried to message me the night before, but I had left Skype up overnight. We were talking about movies and he was sending me some really cool pictures. I knew I needed to get in the shower to get ready for classes, but I couldn't get away from the computer. I walked into a sound studio and was getting taught about how it worked. I knew I really needed to get in the shower. There was an episode of Family Guy on one of the screens in the studio. I saw a couple of my friends from school. Then, I went back to the computer and talked to my friend some more.

This morning, I got up, showered, and got on the computer, and my friend was on Skype, and he messaged me! We haven't talked in awhile either. Neither of us have had time to get online. Craziness... o_o

I thought I'd restart my dream journal since I got re-interested in lucid dreaming. I also have yet to have one.

My first night was a really good start, I remembered four dreams.


1. It was the evening and it was thunderstorming. It was sort of like the 'never-ending storm'. The people on the radio kept saying to stay inside and to not have a shower since it would be dangerous. Later, I was sitting on the couch with my family and a librarian from the library I go to discussing school, hobbies, and the storm. Also the smoke detector kept going off.

2. The second dream I had was about fictional characters on a tv show I love called Merlin.
In this dream, I remember Arthur realizing that he has feelings for Merlin so he goes to tell him. He jumps in front of Merlin and said "I've got a secret!" and Merlin says "No!" Because he thinks that somehow Arthur will find out about his magic. Then my dreams shows Merlin waking up, rattled. The scene was Merlin's dream. Then Arthur shows up again in front of Merlin and says the same thing ("I've got a secret!") and Merlin says "Noooooooo!" and that's the last thing I remember from that dream.

3. The third dream I had was about "How I Met Your Mother". In it, the characters found little things on the ground in shapes of circles that may or may not have been edible.
Also, Robin said that she wanted to get back together with Ted, but it was too late. Ted had met 'the mother'.

4. Then I dreamt I was in my computer applications class at school. I had my cell phone out and the teacher took it.
Also, for some reason, we started singing like in choir and it was completely normal.
Also the teacher wanted to teach us about King Arthur.

Dream Lucid Me DC

I´ve had many dreams that have something to do with games, usually me playing one. I find them pretty fun and tonight I had another one. I also had a lucid.

Dream 1
I was watching my friend play some platforming game. The level started from a platform surrounded by water. There were some cars and treasure chests in the water. The cars were programmed to chase anyone who would drop into the water. He crossed a bridge and came to a cliff, which had an round corner. There were burning tiles attached to the corner. He needed to use a swing to get to the other side. I can´t remember what happend then, but there was a waterfall later in the stage. Next thing I know, I was sitting on a chair, playing the game from my laptop. I was in the stage select menu. Behind me was one of my classmates. "Are you done already, it´s my turn", he said. I didn´t want to show the game to him and didn´t do anything. Then I was again playing the game with my friend, now in 2-player mode. The stage was same. I came to the swing (My friends character had died by now.) and tried to get to the other side, but the fire killed me. I respawned and tried again. This time I made it, but instead of going the same way as my friend before, I found a secret place. (My friend came back) There were some secret weapons in there and we grabbed them. The exit led us to a small lake, and there was an treasure chest underwater. (Can´t remember what was in it.) I suggested, that we should restart and get the chests close to the start, but my friend said we couldn´t. I woke up.

Dream 2
Once I fall asleep again, I have an FA. I understand that i´m dreaming and go to my sisters room. My sister has turned into a zombies and starts to eat my hand. (It felt pretty unpleasant) I get scared and close my eyes (Still have that "someone´s eating my hand"-feeling) and hope the dream would stop. I gather some courage and open my eyes, pull my hand away and turn my back to her. I fly through the roof and start flying around the town. (From then on I basicly just fly around, stabilize the dream and go to peoples houses.) The dream continues for pretty long, longer than ever before. (About 10 min. [I know I posted another DJ entry that told about my 10 min LD, but the flying part lasted for 10 min, OK?]) Then I have another FA, but I just basicly teleported back to my house and remain lucid. I fly through the roof again and land on my yard. (I think there was a DC there) I remember that I was supposed to visit the town of Denn and turn around, expecting there to be a mirror there. Success! I try to walk through the mirror. Another success! (My control is getting better!) But I just walk through the mirror and come out from the other side. (Next time I use a mirror attached to a wall. [Though I don´t seem to be able to walk through those.]) I turn around and about 10 other mirrors appear. (They have same frames, but different shapes.) A DC gives me a piece of paper that has some scribbles on it. (+ and a stickman, I think.) He says something about it taking me where I want to go, but I have to make it larger first. He´s right. The paper is way too small for me to step through, (I tried.) so I grab its corners and begin to pull. First I fail, but second time the paper begins to grow. And then I accidently rip it almost into two pieces. "Whoops". Fortunatly, the paper is already big enough for me to go through it. I step through. I appear to the menu of the game I played in the first dream. After a while, I return to my yard. And I can´t remember what then happened.

It seems that my dream control is getting better. Also, I happen to have a lucid every fourth night. (This is the case for the last three lucids.)

Fragments

#1
I'm talking to something or someone who I recon is my conciousness.

#2
My uncle was ill and kept throwing up, my nephew kept asking annoying questions and my grandmother gave me a chair.

I wake up to my alarm and go the the bathroom. When I got back to my room, I focus on going back to sleep while beeing concious (actually, WILD with the things I've read the night before here.
But before I know it , I'm in some non-lucid dream.

My family is very rich, we live in a mansion. Then some guy comes to us to greet and congratualte us on our new home.
He's wearing a junior baseball uniform, and has a baseballbat with him.
Him "Welcome in the neighbourhood, do you like sports?"
Me, my sister and my brother (which I don't have) "Yea, we really like sports"
Him "Well, what do you want to play then?"
Me "I like to play basketball! No I mean honkball, errr.. BASEBALL!"
I was confused because I was going to say baseball from the beginning, but instead I said basketball
The guy was tottaly ignoring me so I went back home.

I don't know how I got this dog, but it's such a cute little dog a friend of mine has IRL.
We also have a big dog, and he accidently crushed the little one.
I tried to save him.

*blank*

I'm at my grandparents house. The plan was that my granddad and I were going to fix the shower and some other stuff, but he was still a bit ill (He was ill IRL)
so I started without him. When he came to me , I showed him I had fixed the shower, and probably something like the toilet.
We tested them, and they only seemed to work for half, like the water came half out of the shower, the other half was dry.
So I went to fixing the shower and he fixed the other stuff.

Also, either my granddad or grandmother gave me a brand new big television, and I was happy with it. Then they told me it's not mine, but I need to help someone with this thing. I felt dissapointed

This was one of the longer dreams I had in some time.
When I woke up I would try and WILD but I never really got into sleep, beacuse everytime I was, my mind seems to think otherwise and woke me up.

I feel like I've had this dream before, and it's a strange one...

The main character of the dream is Tom Hanks, mostly - and I am watching him as an omnipresent viewer. At one point he appears to morph into Will Smith, but for the most part, it's Mr. Hanks all the way.

Mr. Hanks is trying to flee some evil foe, but it's fairly easy for him, seeing as he has a special jet pack that employs the use of helicopter blades over top of it to facilitate its flying. Unfortunately, whilst trying to escape said unnamed foe, Tom is forced to fly up through the roof of a house. It's the only way out. The good news is the blades chop easily through the roof and he escapes. The bad news? His blades are now hopelessly damaged. He must find replacement blades, and soon!

Tom goes about his desperate search to find new blades. In his mission he comes across and evil Chinese Businessman (who looks just like Chairman Mao), who is intent on destroying a subdivision of houses with his massive backhoe. Innocent people are getting in the way, trying to thwart the efforts of evil antagonist. Being the heartless and cruel man he is, the businessman just runs right over the innocent residents, killing them in droves, so that his demolition can continue! Tom discovers that the bodies of the slain are being cleverly formed in clay, taking the shape of classic Greek statues to disguise them. They are then sold off to fund the demolition project.

Tom feels he must stop this evil man, but he is helpless without the aid of his trusty jet pack! Oh, the horror!

So that dream ended and lead into another one in which I am a celebrated author, writing a book about Eels. Unfortunately I don't remember all of that one.

I'm on a break from thinking too much about LDing. This has made my dreams easier to remember, perhaps because there is less pressure on my brain.

Just like in real life, I am sick and laying down to rest on the bed. It's my same bed, but it's in the flat I had with my ex, near Berlin. Or at least, I recognize it as such, but this flat is actually much more beautiful and expensive looking.

My ex is in the other room, with him are two of his friends, both of whom I know from when we lived in Vancouver. I get up to go out, passing through a room/hallway that has my ex's computer in it. It's on. I glance at the screen and see some form of Messenger running - though it's not MSN. On it are active conversations from other friends of his in Vancouver. They all appear to be congratulating him and the two friends that are visiting, wishing them all the best and lots of fun. It doesn't say so, but I gather that my ex and his two friends are going to move in together. I wonder to myself if it will be here in Germany, or in Ireland, where he is living in RL now. I briefly wonder why he is back in Germany again.

I move to the next room. They are talking and laughing loudly, but go quiet when I enter. Awkward. I am looking for something healthy to eat, as I am not feeling well. All I can find is a big paper bag full of all kinds of junk food. They all freak out when I find it, and I tell them to relax, I don't want their stupid crap food. Not finding anything, I leave the room. My ex follows me.

In the room with the computer again, my ex immediately notices that his screen has been scrolled. He looks worried and slightly angry, asking me if I read his conversation. I say "Why would I want to read your conversation?" and look away. He seems to believe me. I feel guilty for lying.

Flash now to one of his friends questioning me - he's asking me if my ex and I are getting back together, or "kissing and making up" as he calls it. I look at him like he's nuts and tell him as much, saying that's the last thing I want. I can tell my ex's friend is just asking to make sure it's a safe bet to move in with him, but I'm not supposed to know so I stay quiet.

Feelings: confusion, guilt, bitterness, alienation, a feeling of jealousy when looking around the nice flat

Last night, I was dreaming about seeing a cat. It was a very large cat, pretty colors, kinda like caramel, white, and almost strawberry colors. It was left out from someone's home who no longer wanted the cat. I felt sorry for it and layed next to it. I realized that this was a mama cat and she had milk. I wondered where the kittens were or whether they were dead. I took the cat into my house alone with my 3 cats that lived with me. (In reality, I have only 1 cat). I bathed the giant cat, soaped her up, rinsed her, gave her food, led her to the litter box which was terribly tiny for a creature as large as she. She was a very gentle and relaxed cat who did not want to leave my side.

Anyway, I also dreamed that I was trying to have a lucid dream. This wasn't a lucid dream but I wanted to have a lucid dream in the dream. Well, I must be closer.
