non-lucid

Last night i tried to lucid dream using WILD but it didnt work out to well.
Things i did wrong
1. Didnt wake up at the right time
2. Woke up to many times
3. Wasnt relaxed or even close to being prepared

Things ill do tonight
1. Make sure my alarm is set for the right time
2. Try to stay relaxed
3. Be prepared
4. try not to wake up as much

Hopefully i can at least get the routine down tonight.

I was shooting a short commercial with Cheri Oteri and I add libbed a bit of what it should have been like. It involed me approaching her and trying to talk with her. The catch was I was supposed to have an awkward moment and completely turn it around like those candy bar commercials. After the first take, we took a break and I shook her hand and told her that I was a big fan of her work. I guess she thought that I didn't recognize her or something, because when I finally told her, her eyes lit up and she became so happy that she started crying. We took a break over at some chairs, and this lady started going over the entire scene that was updated with the bit I had thrown in.

Fragments: Bus Song
I'm on the bus with my grandparents. Some stringed instrument starts playing, and I can't pinpoint where it's coming from. Ambrose begins to play a home made water pipe flute thing, and my grandmother begins to sing in a high falsetto. It's an amazing song.

As we get off the bus, I notice a jar of pickled eggs underneath my seat.

I was trying to remember the guitar part when I woke because it was such a good song, then it came to me. The song was basically "Little Lion Man". The guitar was a little different, the pipes too, and the singing was way different, but it was basically the same song.

Professor Bitchface
Clarity: 3/10
Sleep: Poor
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm in a University class that is just ending, and the professor is a total strict bitch. She mentions that she's been divorced 4 times, and three of those were because she saw her husband's published writing, meaning she was very strict and picky when it comes to the papers we hand in.

She gives out a homework assignment, which she writes on the board, and I figure I had better write it down. But she erases it before I get a chance to. The chalk boards are full of notes that she erases before anyone can copy them. What a bitch.

We leave class and discuss that teacher in the hall. Everyone is worried about handing in our papers, except for me, being confident in my writing skills.

-We're all in a virtual reality program, and students are manipulating the game's reality for physics projects. They all log out and disappear, except for two professors who are plotting evil deeds.

Non lucid, but I did become momentarily aware at one point.

The first part I remember is being at some conference. I was trying to use a rifle embedded in my laptop to snipe one of the members of the conference sitting across from me. He saw the attempt and raised a blast shield. Everyone fled and my attempt was foiled. I had no idea why I wanted to shoot him, but it might have been from an earlier unremembered portion of the dream. Later on, I was speaking with a female DC in a store. It was late at night so everyone migrated to upstairs to sleep which resembled a Japanese villa. It was pretty high up and had a good view of the surrounding forested area. I actually sat down with the DC i was talking to earlier and played a round of coop starcraft with her. We both played as Zerg, but she had no idea what she was doing. Eventually we both quit and she got into her bed for the night. Feeling a little bold I slipped in with her (wasn't aware or lucid). We adjusted positions a few times and she ended up with her head on my chest and arm around me. I just lied there for awhile savoring the feeling aware that my heart rate was increasing and my breath was getting heavier. She stated this and I noticed hers was too. We started to uhh.. get busy when it suddenly occurred to me that I might be dreaming. Now here's the funny part, I consciously made a decision not to go lucid and to just roll with the dream because it was getting pretty awesome. But about a minute later, I had a false awakening. The room I was in was the same, but it was empty with just me in the bed. A thought crossed my mind to do an RC but I felt too tired to move and... didn't. The dream continued as I got up looking around for the DC girl from earlier. I never found her though I saw a few other DC's in the house. Eventually, I woke up.

Totally kicking myself for the missed opportunity to go lucid after the false awakening! Still, much better dream over my last night's

It was so cold my fire alarm went off during the night. It was short beeps and I was half asleep (4am) and I was RCing like crazy thinking i'd had a FA.

Awake Non-Lucid

I'm walking down the high street with my mum. She's in a hurry for some reason, trying to find where she parked the car. I stroll along behind her, and notice that the nearby church stained glass windows are really pretty and colourful. A group of boys I know walk past. As they do, they say something. I hurry on, not in the mood to pick a fight.

Plans

I'm going to my mums flat when I notice an older lady walking into it. I narrow my eyes and decide to see what she's up to. As soon as I get inside, a tall woman with long dark hair, probably early twenties, walks in and tells me that she's keeping an eye on the situation. I don't know what it is, but I trust her. Then she goes and takes a shower. I stare at the door, listening to the water turning on, and wonder why she's chosen this exact moment to shower.

Somehow I'm looking through the older womans eyes. She knows there's someone in the shower and she needs to hurry up. She grabs a brown bowl and goes over to the window. It's very important to the mission to break this brown bowl. She's a spy. She drops the bowl out of the window and watches it shatter to pieces, then hurries off.

I'm myself again, and I panicing quite a bit. The phone rings from the side, and I go and answer it. It's my mum, I tell her what happened and she sternly tells me to stay where I am because she's coming up. I try to hangup, but as I push the button, it caves in. All I can hear is white noise coming from the phone. "Shit..." I mutter as I try to switch it off.

Then I woke up because of the alarm.

Not quite sure what my other dream is. In my notes it says "swim skirt condom twins reconstruct water". It sounds like I had a threesome, I know, but I didn't I just can't remember what "skirt" and "condom" is. I'll type up what I remember. From now on I'll make sure my notes are clearer.

I'm in a white, humid room, which I remember is in the place of the music room. There's dry land all around, and me and a group of people I can't quite see are looking around. For some reason we feel disappointment and regret. I decide to reconstruct the room. Holding out my hands, I lift them up and dirt comes up with them. I make scraping motions and make ledges and steps. Then I fill the room with water. The next part is blank. I have the feeling I was called out and shouted at a few people then went back through.

I've just came back into my water room, when two blonde twins grab me and drag me under water. I hit the bottom and struggle to get up but they pin me down. "Find the money" one of them says through the water, "and we'll let you go." Where could it be? As if responding to the thought, I swim round to the back of one of the twins and pull his shirt up. There! I grap a note and hold it out, then swim desperatley to the surface. I grab hold of a ledge and pull myself onto it. I sit calmly and watch people enjoy my water room, but the regret is still there.

The memory is on the edge of my mind but I just can't remember. If I do I'll edit

Here's what I do remember from last night's imaginary ventures:

1. There were twisters... In a house. Apparently they were lethal enough to kill since everybody hid from them. Surprisingly it reminds me of one of the earliest memories I have. I saw little twisters flying all over my room and one of them had glasses and big bulging eyes. He spoke like the guy from unsolved mysteries and it made me scream (I believe this was from around age 2 or earlier, considering I was in a crib).

2. Some of the people from my public speaking class were there, though I can't quite remember what they were doing.

3. I met this mean woman. I believe she was my friend at first, but she ended up killing somebody and basically taking me as a secret hostage in her SUV. I remember this woman was distinctly African American, which is probably the first I imagined up. Either way, the police pulled us over and I discreetly managed to tell the elderly cop (also made up) that she had killed somebody and would probably kill me. He managed to arrest her and I was able to drive the vehicle... Somewhere. I guess it was home in my dream.

4. And then I remember pink stuffed animals. No idea what significance they held or why they were there...

And that's it. Last time I had a hard time remembering the last part of my dream, and this time I can't recall how it started out. But at least I'm remembering them.

In which I lose an expensive gun...

I'm in a field of tall wheat. It's an expanse of several acres, but out in the middle of the field are some low walls of stacked stone that mark property borders. I'm carrying a rifle and a heavy chrome semi-automatic with a scope. As I walk across the field, the rifle goes off accidentally and scares me. I jump in the air, and then sit down on the stone wall, thankful that the bullet didn't hit me. I examine the rifle and see that it is not loaded and that the safety is on, so I keep going. The rifle fires again, and this time I think that it must be possessed so I toss it away from me. It lands beside one of the stone walls. I keep walking until the grass is low and I'm standing on a hill looking down into a valley. I crawl on my hands and knees and peer over the hill at the deer below. I aim to shoot one, but at the last minute I change my mind. The deer are too pretty and I can't kill them.

I walk back to my father's cabin. When I get there he asks for his gun. I realize I've left it behind. I walk back through the field to the stone wall and pick up the rifle gingerly. It has a feature like a revolver in which it can be taken apart, so I dismantle the rifle so that it won't shoot at me again. I carry the pieces back to my father but he just tosses them in the dirt. He's angry. "This is your brother's cheap rifle!" he says. "Where is my semi?" Apparently the gun with the scope is worth several thousand dollars. I realize that I left it on the mound. I walk back across the field again and come to several mounds but I can't distinguish one from the other and I don't know which is the one where I left the gun. I look all over for it, but I can't find it. I feel like a loser.

PART LUCID LUCID NIGHTMARE FALSE AWAKENING
NOTE: Please read to the end, it gets alot more exciting when the nightmares come. If you have a short attention span just skip to the big red nighmare at the bottom.
This is my third lucid since joining dream views. I wasnt the most lucid Ive had but it was by far the most vivid.
I started off walking through a quiet part of a small town with a very warm climate. The whole dream had a pleasant, warm orange tone.Suddenly I realised I was dreaming. As the thought echoed through my mind a huge wave of vividity swept through intensifying everything around me. I didnt need to do a reality because I was sure it was a dream. All of my muscles and senses felt like I was really using them. Most importantly I felt like I was seeing through my eyes and not just my head. It was extremely vivid.I walked around in the town I created and in my excitement pulled a big smile at a nearby dream character. She was young and wearing a red jumper. She looked slightly confused but just smiled back at me.
I began to explain lucidity to her when suddenly some friends of mine appeared out of no-where. Sadly I hadnt thought about lucid goals for a while in waking life, so I just began to impress my friends with some lucid flying. They were slightly impressed but not as much as they would be in real life.
We then began to walk very quickly and ended up in a huge shopping center (mall). There were hundreds of people all moving around briskly so we carried on through the crowds and then we were in a school. (I had two more dreams about this school later on, but they are incredibly boring so I am not going to write them down)
I was about to think about my lucid goals when a teacher asked me to help him carry some tables. I lost lucidity slightly and gladly agreed to help him. I set the table down in the classroom he had specified and regained full lucidity! "Hmmm now, what was it I wanted to do? Ah yes, I wanted to get to the lucid crossroads" I thought. So I closed my eyes and when I opened them I was in a very dark nightmarish room just like the one I was in previously. It scared me so I closed my eyes again and opened them in my room.
I was convinced this was realitly. Just to be sure I did the nose plug reality check about eight times and it worked EVERY SINGLE TIME. I still didnt realise it was a dream. What a numskull. So I grabbed my dream journal and decided to write down my lucid. I began when for some reason my journal turned into a ping pong ball. "It's normal to write down dreams on ping pong balls" I thought. I repeatedly felt like I was asleep with my eyes open, which should have told me this was a false awakening but it didnt.
Next came some very odd visions. I wouldnt call them dreams because they had nothing to do with me. Be prepared, this may give you nightmares. I saw images of fat people waking up into the most horrible sleep paralysises I had ever seen. They were shaking violently and frothing at the mouth. They then appeared to become possessed. They let out horrible noises and their eyes went completely white before growing huge. They were experiencing a lot of pain and were shaking very much.

I then woke up for real.What was this? Was something trying to tell me something like you really do get possessed when experiencing SP? Also, I read that you can only dream about yourself. These people had nothing to do with me. Damn! I cant have a lucid without weird false awakenings!

I drove to the San fransisco golden gate bridge with my dad and our plan was to jump off the end of it. When we got theirnmy dad ran of the end of nit and I hesitated and broke down and started crying. I count do it. After I took a snow gonala upa mountain which took me to some bar where my friends were all watching a soccer game. I ended uP watching then the nex thing I new I was In a soccer game nd I wanted to do a goal kick butnthis kid kept stoping me from doin it cuz he said he was sposed to dp it so I started cheken him rely hard.

Non-lucid
I was at my father's house in San Antonio, Texas. He was at work with my step mom so I was going to do some snooping around on the computer. I was doing that for a little bit nut then my dad drove up and I woke up.

Non-lucid
My sister and I were in my grandmother's car, going to my uncle's birthday party. I remembered that in my dream, my grandmother had told me that my uncle didn't like computers, but she was buying him a laptop. We pulled into a hardware store and she went inside. about 10 or so mins later, she came back out with a bag, and put it in the back seat. I then looked through the bag to find a half chewed, half destroyed, covered in dirt, laptop wrapped up in a pair of long johns. I was like, "Hey, look at this! We got a free pair of long john's! Grandma you really shouln't have." I said it with sarcasm... Then I woke up. lol

Enjoy!
this dream was non-lucid.

Hours of sleep: 11 hours.

Heartbreak and insects.


I awoke, I was in a form of jungle, inside a small glass house, like a hamsters cage. With my boyfriend matt. I can remember him transforming into a massive golden spider, Labrador colour + feel. My view changed, I was next to a crazy woman with goggles on her head, and a gun in her hand, my boyfriend (as a spider) was running throughout some transparent pipes through the jungle, the pipes ended as he roamed free. The woman shot at him, but a bullet didn't come out, it was in fact a tube to catch him. He was trapped inside of it of course. I ran up to him asking all the doctors which had gathered round to let him go.
my minds gone totally blank and I cant remember anything after that, but some how chocolate is coming into my mind... I then remember crying, but because earlier on last night (not in the dream) my boyfriend matt had finished me. so technically he's my ex-boyfriend. Now my minds faded sorry. I cant remember anything!

notes: I don't know whats happened, i woke up remembering everything but then all of a sudden I can't remember... :/

Good morning everybody. This dream definitely ended around 1 AM. I had gone to bed at about 9:30 PM.

Although the end of this dream is very interesting (by my standards -- my dreams are tame compared to the others on this site!), and although it seems pretty spontaneous, I feel it was actually influenced by waking life -- namely by the part in Emiko's dream from yesterday where the boy tells her his name is Thomas.

Dream #1

I was in an apartment. Some stuff here happened that I no longer remember.

A young, pretty, and somehow motherly woman then told me something about how the doors of the apartment were open. This meant something like I would now be able to get back into the apartment, whereas before, I think, once I'd gone out I couldn't come back. The woman asked me to go pick up some kind of food.

I left the apartment. It was night. The apartment was a two-story building with outdoor balconies connecting the second story apartments. The area around the apartment felt like it was under construction or like it had been neglected or destoyed.

I think I was now planning to ask my cousin for the food the young woman had requested. I crossed the street to where my cousin lived. The building was a "college dorm," but it actually looked like a military living space for in the desert. It was long, half-cylindrical, and painted green.

I was now inside. The space was like a small supply warehouse. The floors were concrete. The space was lit by lamps hanging from the ceiling. There were a lot of young men around. They were largely congregating toward the back of this structure, where there was a big TV.

This was the first day of something like college or an extended trip that these guys were taking during college. The guys had all just settled into their dorms.

Along the left and right walls were doorways leading to a bedroom. Each boy had a bedroom. Beside each doorway was a small kitchenette and a small washer-dryer combo. I had a hard time telling whether each boy had his own kitchenette, washer, and dryer, or whether two rooms each shared one set. I either couldn't tell or didn't wonder where the bathrooms were.

I knew that I also had a room here. But I figured I'd probably continue living in the apartment. The boys all seemed cool. But I had a feeling that if I lived around them too long, I'd attract their bad attention and make a bad situation for myself.

I wondered if I had food of my own in the kitchenette that belonged to me. But I didn't concern myself with checking. I knew I'd come here to find my cousin.

I found my cousin at the back of the structure, near the TV. He may have looked like a kid. We spoke for a little while. We were then met by a boy my cousin introduced me to as C, a boy from my cousin's neighborhood. C, who had been short, thin, and pale as a kid, was now tall, tan, and muscular. I was surprised to find myself attracted to him.

I heard some noise in waking life that began to wake me from my dream.

But I still lay in a dream state. I had a vision of three figures. They looked like "little girl in dress" figures cut out of felt and made to interlock. One figure was black; one, grey; and one, white.

I very sensibly heard the figures speaking. They spoke in male and female voices. They were talking about how they had been dream characters but how, now that the dream was ending, they were going back to some place where they spent the rest of their time.

They were speaking with each other in a joking, familiar tone about the stuff they had shown me during my dream. One of the female voices addressed another character as David. The name David affected me for a number of reasons, which I was very aware of, having to do with both family members and big world events that had happened when I was young.

I had the understanding that these characters were actually elements of my personality, and that at this moment they were all autonomous to interact with each other, apart from me. It was kind of like being able to look in from the outside on a schizophrenic episode, which kind of worried me.

I could now sense the characters sinking away somewhere, possibly into the base of my brain, or the very top of the back of my neck.

I now had a beautiful hypnagogic vision: a black background filled with twirling squares and circles, curtains full, of purple, scale-like shapes. This vision buzzed around for a while, then faded away into waking life altogether.

fragment
0715: Running in a marathon. One coach suspects another of cheating.

WTF, Incomprehensible Notes
0757: Hulk goes back in time to stop a secret ... dates him. They work for ... deface some paintings with red paint. Then training for war. V for Vendetta. Brad Pitt. Sunglasses. False awakening.

Talking To Girls
0927: In school. It's a military school. I am called to another classroom. Baking cakes. In class. Flirting with Erinne from high school. Then another girl. Sara? Or maybe Erin from college. Talking about going crazy. Erinne sits on a swing set and starts bother me and the other girl who I am now talking with.

More WTF
1049: ... sex with Bridgette. Meet her two brothers. Then want to fight with our cars. So I drive around them and cover the shopping mall car wash food. I am driving a convertible. This is so one-sided. I ask if I can use real bullets.

Catching up from a few days away without Internet.

"F*** you, but nice sweater!"
0855: Hugh takes a job at my company. He has something to do with the reactor. There is a meeting in the office and the CEO is talking to Hugh. Then my desk is moved to the left turn lane of a street intersection. Now I walk to the reactor. Something about Iranians and a school. Now the buildings seems like a college campus with an impressive library overlooking a grassy area with trees. Group of people waiting for a large gathering. They are practice their speeches that they will give before the crowd. They are all young adults, like college students. I sit down ... map. ... I say "fuck you, but nice sweater!" He falls on is chair. I find a colleague I know and we laugh.

Ugly Glasses, Soccer
1014: Playing soccer with a mix of coworkers and high school classmates. One guy shows off his new glasses. I see they are way too thick and unattractive. I think at first to be polite, but I realize it's better that I tell him the truth that his glasses look ridiculous. The soccer game is on a grassy area in front of a building that looks like a old church or library. There are trees and water fountains in the middle of the play area so people have to run around. They are tripping on the roots of the trees. Our team scores. Then I get the ball alone with a long way to dribble toward the goal.

1103: I don't recall how I became lucid. Nor did I stop to think of my plan. I mostly just observed this lucid dream. I'm outdoors at night. I am in a grassy area near a building. There's also sidewalk around the building. Reminds me of a spot on my old college campus. The area is lit by street lamps and lights around the building. There are a few people around and I am chasing them, like we are playing tag. I intuitively think that two of them are twin girls and they are both my wives. I grow tired of running and spot chasing them.

Now, the buildings near me seem to be restaurants and bars. There are impressive full length windows and outdoor patios. I walk up to the entrance of one building and it's a bar. There is a line of people waiting to get in. I pull a bill out of my pocket and smoothly hand it to the bouncer as I walk past the line and straight in. It's crowded with people inside with low lighting. I walk around the bar hurriedly, looking for anyone I recognize, but I don't find anyone. I come around to the bar and squeeze in to get the attention of the bartender. The bar is really high but with a glass case. It reminds me of the case in a Starbucks or a donut shop. Anyway, I order two shots of tequila (strange, I'd never order that IWL). I shoot one immediately. I take the other glass and walk away from the bar. I walk toward the front door. I shoot the second glass and toss it away. I step outside, back on to the sidewalk and start looking at the people around. I see people coming out of the restaurant next door. I hear music play as I start to approach a girl. She is wearing pink knee-high socks that catch my attention. Dream fades.

7-12 --- 8-12
non-lucid

This night i only recalled 2 dreams.
I went to bed with the mantra 'i will recall my dreams' and i also said to myself 'when i notice that i'm dreaming, i will rub my hands'
I woke up at 2 (4h after i fell asleep) though i had set my alarm to go off 6h after i fell asleep. I tried the WBTB technique for the first time:
Woke up (didn't recall anything of my dreams ), looked around to check for anything unusual, did some maths and sudoku's and did some RC's. After 10min (or so) i went back to sleep and had a very weird dream:

I was giving a LD 101 course. I felt asleep (within my dream) and dreamed that i noticed that i was dreaming and i rubbed my hands (to stabilize the 2nd dream (didn't remember i was in another dream). I opened my eyes (in my 1st dream) and said 'i'm out' or 'i wasn't deep enough' or something like that. after that my dream changed (i think).

i was in a court with enforcement of Wilders (a dutch politician who is a racist) the benches and all were brown.
Thats pretty much all i can remember of this dream
