non-lucid

I am teaching my younger brother and sister to steal. We enter some house in a city which doesn't seem to have anyone in it.
*blank spot*
We stole something from the house and were going to another, when I notice there's lots of people. I tell my brother and sister that it's over for now and we go on our way. Several days later, I am on some computer watching a flash movie about ice mario/bowser blowing up a tower when I am poked to my shoulder.

I turn and it's my school advisor, plus some old lady. I instantly think "Oh crap I am caught". They just smile there, like being happy for finding the thief and then school advisor calmly takes a cellphone, puts in numbers and says to phone "Could you please connect to (my father's name)".

I am freaking out, for I am going to be put to jail for the rest of my life. I think my life is ruined. "Why I went to steal in the first place? Who made me do it?"
*Time warp or whatever, later anyway*

I am walking on a snowy road, it's winter. There's a lake right next to road. I fall to it for some reason and try to get back up. I see someone on the land. "I'm drowning!" I shout. Character: "No you're not!" and pushes me further to lake to deeper waters (there was snow on the bottom of the lake).

I manage to get back to land, shouting help once. I ask the character to get my stuff, for all my stuff had spreaded to lake from my bag, including the clothes I had on me. He starts getting them when I hear some sirens of a incoming emergency car, not really an ambulance, some kind of mix between that and a fire truck.

The car stoppes next to me, I feel like I am freezing. Suddenly the character goes in and the car leaves without me.
*Time warp or whatever, later anyway*

I am on that car, with my clothes on. Student from school is in front of me, seemingly angry. He tries to kick me to my b****, which I manage to dodge. Annoyed by this, I stomp on his toes. This gets him berserk and in turn, he tries to stomp on my foot.

Comments:

For some reason, I don't really count this as a nightmare, although I was about to be putted to jail forever, almost drowned and got attacked.

(I was a hybrid of Nicole/somebody in this one. At times it was me, and at other times it wasn't me. For the sake of this dream being recorded, I will say that it wasn't me.)

Nicole was doing her daily rounds in the medical bay when she noticed some people were beginning to act strange. Not violent - just. . . Out of the normal. She noted this in her daily log and went to bed. The next day, things were drastically different. People were. . . Mutating. Turning into something that most definetely was not human. Her parter, whom had been doing rounds with her, told her things were changing. Not everything was going to be the same after this. His face was beginning to melt into some kind of lumpy mass of flesh, and when Nicole asked him what h meant, he simply lifted his hand and pointed.

Necromorphs.

One of them was tearing into somebody with obvious enjoyment.

Nicole gasped, and her coworker simply turned calmly and began to walk away. He showed them to a safe house - but it honestly didn't matter. The entire colony, which was situated in the ocean, began to go to hell. The dome that covered it cracked, and the ocean quickly rushed in to cover everything. Nicole quickly got to a terminal, and began to call Isaac, hands shaking and voice barely audible.

He got it.

And the first thing he did was scream. He had to go back into hell to save the person he loved, and it wasn't fair to him, because he'd just come back from the Ishimura. Regardless, he found his newer, better version of his armor. He strapped it on, and with a blinding flash of light, the suit's systems came on.

I woke up right as Isaac was showing up and Nicole was scavenging through supplies methodically in a closet, trying to determine how many people she could save and how many would try to kill her from trying.

My dream was about an asian girl beginning with black hair that I was viewing 3rd person. She came to my residence and started having seizures. Her hair would slowly change into all the colors of the rainbow, and took on the texture of a mop. Her mother came by and took her away for a year. After the year was up, her mother made her return and sell some products, to make money and come to terms with what had happened. The asian girl immideately starting having seizures again when she returned. Then I woke up.

17/10/2010 back to the good dreams again. on a family trip to london to a place with bars and fariground rides. trying on stupid jackets with my dad. then went on this massive sky ride thing with my brother and there was only a bar to hold onto while the thing span you upside down and round and round 100 meters in the sky. my bro kept letting go and just floating which was scaring the shit out of me but kind of in a good way. later im strolling through town with a spliff and this guy approaches me thinking im a dealer. instead i get invited to a party later. walk towards a big crowd and decide its not the best idea witha smoke so i turn around and finish it and hold it in for as long as i remember. even better then the real thing

The past two nights I've had complicated lucid dreams, that I only remember in fragments. I'm not remembering to remain motionless when I wake up, and every move I make weakens my memory of the dreams. They are very weirdly disjointed dreams that possibly mark different brain modes and rhythms. Or possibly just minor adjustments of my head while asleep?

I was in a multi-storied apartment building crossed with a community center. It had vibrant red checkered floors and lots of friendly people. I was with ex-girlfriends off and on. And I was also with a group of friends and family. At some point I was lucid and started to fly. I vaguely remember a flying Disneyland style tea cup! I was using it to fly others around with me. I also remember passing through "a rip in the dreamscape."

To my horror, I remember very little about the events leading up to the fantastic conclusion:

I was standing in front of my Mother and Ex-girlfriend. I was holding a cylindrical rod in my hands. I asked them in a somewhat smug tone: "Do you like how I merged the dream world with the real world, permanently?"

I remember they were reclined with drinks, looking very comfortable in the luxury high rise apartment I was standing in. I remember reviewing in my mind the portals that merged the "two worlds." The rod was about 1-ft long, made of fine grain wood, and had two silvery caps on each end. Similar in shape to a pipe bomb.

Alright, I had 2 dreams last night. here it goes.

I was having a long conversation with a girl I know. All I remember is that we were talking and out of nowhere she started doing sexual things to me and we started doing it. I will spare you all the details.

I woke up afterward, went to the washroom and went back to bed. At this point I had a second dream.

I think I was babysitting one of my nieces in some sort of cottage. I don't remember much besides having to flick a switch on what I think was a stereo system to let a giant lochness monster like thing come out of a cage and swim around a nearby lake for a few minutes and then flick the switch again to make him go back in. I noticed the air felt more fresh INSIDE the cabin when the monster was out. Fresh like... being on the side of a lake. The kind of nature smell you get by a body of water in a forest.

There's also a dream segment I'm not sure where it would fit in. I don't know if it was from one of those dreams or a separate dream of it's own. It involves watching porn in a bathroom on a DvD Player attached to a boom box?!?!

I guess I had sex and monsters on the mind last night.

I fell asleep listening to music as normal. Some songs made it into my dreams that I recall. So I was in my house, and talking to my brother maybe a bit, I was showing him a song though (which was playing) I got through the whole song, and it was playing through a cupboard in my kitchen. The song was "As I Went Out One Morning" I was just standing there, thinking abut the song as we listened. I'm not sure If he said he liked it or not. Then the second song came on "The Simple Story" And my brother was singing this song, I was surprised how much he sounded like the actual singer(He is good with impressions in real life.). I didn't even know he heard the song before(Probably hasn't). So yeah that was it, still in the kitchen. ALSO, these songs may have made it into my dream, it seems awful familiar(I looked back at the songs that played and they rang a bell) "Eight Days a Week" and "Crocodile Rock" seems quite familiar, that order and all, but I'm not really sure,

Second dream. This one was war themed. I am not sure at the order to much of this, so I'll just list it.
-I was at my old house, and it was getting attacked. There was like a resistance in the house, and people all out front and stuff. I think at some point I had to open the door because a friendly was outside.
-Some soldier wanted a promotion, and he listed all these reasons why he should get one (He had piece of paper outlining it all). One of the reasons was that this one guy was already promoted, way long ago, and he(the guy wanting to get promoted) deserves it more.
-There was the flame-thrower from Worms: Armageddon. It worked exactly the same, but was first person.
-There was training, and there were a bunch of shelve units with different weapons backpacks etc. Once you stopped at one, you had to use it properly or whatever. At some point this place got attacked, and we failed (maybe it was a test?) so we had to try again, I dove and grabbed a shotgun properly.
-There was a camp, a Sargent or something arrived there. The soldiers were drunk (they'd been drinking anyways)
-I was walking my dog, and it seemed everything came up so I couldn't walk him. Like I couldn't climb the path or something. I arrived at the top of a hill, and a guard tower told me I had to turn around. The ground was scorched.
-there was like a boss fight at the end.

The first one, I was in some store, which had different kinds of shirts and hats. There was people from my school there on a field trip or something. I was trying on a hat,which was maybe blue, with green kid of stringy glove thing on the top. It was hard to take the hat off. I left the store for awhile and realized I hadn't taken the hat off, so I had to go and return it.

Second dream. I wish I could remember more than I do. It was a movie and/or book. It took place on a boat. There were only 2 people on this boat. One was played by Cate Blanchett, and there was one other. There was a storm at some point. And these 2 characters kissed. They had been on this ship quite awhile. I remember drawing scenes from this movie/book. I drew some eyes really well, and looking well, but some others I had trouble with. It ended up well though. It was really easy to draw well, it just worked. The story ended with someone on a boat(like a row boat) setting off to sea, because they were kicked out of their house. I had to answer some questions about this story. One was something like: "Do you believe these characters were young in the story?" I believed the person on the boat at the end was Cate Blanchett's character beforehand, and how she ended up sailing the seas. But I believed both characters were most likely the same age.

This next dream I dont remember fully, and it was a couple nights ago. All I remember was there was this guy in a gas mask asking me questions, or I was asking him questions.

Hi, this is my first DJ entry here on DV. Thought I'd share a dream from a few nights back. Please leave comment.
(Not sure if the first part and the second were connected somehow but I think they were...)

I am at some place where I happen to go near my school to play games. I have installed some demo on the console and ask the place owner (who happens to be my Dream Sign): Is it okay that I installed this?

*Both look at TV, blood fills half the screen with all action*
Owner: "Yeah it's fine. I'm more worried about this thing here..." and we start talking about some PC game.


Some black guy with a white business jacket and red glasses is smiling there with a mouse on his table. Apparently this is some kind of super intelligent mouse, some kind of secret weapon of his. He talks to the mouse but I can't remember what.
Suddenly, some guy in a blue suit and blue glasses which has word "Happy" comes out of nowhere like over-excited fan, slamming the boss guy to his back with his arm and just going around randomly. Glasses go flying around and at some point, boss guy wears blue glasses and at some point, red and blue (which interestingly resulted to violet view of the situation).

Mouse started acting differently when this happened. I think the red glasses were needed to control it. Well, after a while of all this, a woman in orange suit comes (out of nowhere) and starts shooting around with plasma pistol, saying: "I finally found your secret base bla bla bla" focusing more into talking than shooting, accidentally hitting the boss guy, breaking the red glasses. She then either:
a) kidnapped someone (mouse?)
b) stole something

Guy in orange suit and orange glasses appears and the woman and him fight. They seem to have a crush on each other, because the bombs they used in the fight were shaped like hearts (plus they talked to each other in a certain way). Woman flees to the elevator while the guy follows.

Comments:

Who is this woman?
What is this secret base?
What is the thing with almost everyone wearing glasses?
Where is the mouse? Captured by the woman or on it's own way, plotting it's own schemes?

Edit/side note: Was interesting how when the boss guy was wearing blue and red glasses and the vision became violet, that blue and red actually do equal violet. I didn't know that. Guess my subconscious did?

non-dream - non-lucid - lucid

17/11/10 The dream was massive but I remember little before actually turning lucid.
There was something about a mini LAN event.
Thomas Marcusen (old school friend) was there.
Stoffer was there.
Then there is a massive park of some description, the sun is shining.
We are setting up tables for a public event.
I feel like I don't quite belong there, although I am a common face in the group.
There is a woman from my study who is sort of taking the lead.
I grab some milk and start drinking it out of the carton, but am careful not to let my lips touch it in case anyone else want some.
Think there is a quick thinking process about mouth-mouth transmitted diseases.
Rasmus is talking about how his brother has come home for the weekend.
He has gone to a festival and returned a day later without saying he was going, now with a woman in his bed, although this woman later is a man.
The boys and I are going to a fight between some random (played by the actor playing Cas is Supernatural) guy and Geaorge Foreman, who is actually Evander Holyfield, but we call him George.

The fight is messy and unclean, but the crowd seems to love it so an atmosphere is building and the fighters embrace it. George seems to have the upper hand and at one point knocks the other guy clean out, that is the first time we see it. Although we are physically present at the fight there is still a replay function and seen from another angle the other boxer returns to his feet very swiftly, which I find a bit strange. There is a break up and Cas takes the opportunity to throw George to the ground and gets a stern warning from the ref, however there is limited the ref can really do at this point due to the intense atmosphere surrounding the fight. George knocks him through the ropes and to the floor and at this point I am standing in the ring and start a chant that takes the crowd with me “To the Floor!”. George takes it to the floor and starts stomping on the poor guys face, I feel a little bad for this.

After this I am in a class room of sorts and here Cas is teaching something concerning sleep cycles. I feel very tired and I am walking around in a beige suit, hmm it has been a long time since I have worn this suit (technically I don't have the vest I was wearing either IWL). I feel like I have pulled an all-nighter, but I am there out of respect for the guy. We are old friends after all. It is a bit like a film scene where two main characters look at each other in silent understanding, except I don't understand at all why I know the man, but I know I am given the context of the situation. He is teaching something about re-arranging letters in words, that although slightly amusing seems pointless, but relevant somehow. He is walking around the class and spots me, I wink at him and he comes over. He abandons the class because we have something to talk about, which I think is a goodbye. We go to his flat and I lay down on the bed and shortly after so does he although he takes his clothes off first, which means it is getting slightly uncomfortable for me. We talk about something and towards the end of the conversation I give him a brief hug making sure he is covered in a duvet before doing it. I get up.

I look around and my eyes fall upon a glass covered surface. It is dark, but still the surface doesn't produce a reflection of any kind. Hang on a minute this is what I was just paying attention to in waking life. I am dreaming. I talk to the professor who is supposed to be an expert on sleep cycles, yet he has never heard of the topic of Lucid dreaming. I spend a lot of time rubbing my hands and activating my senses while I talk to him about lucid dreaming in order to stabilise the dream. I try flying through the window as a demonstration, doesn't work, damnit. Ah ok, just going to try to fly through it backwards, success! I am now in a park of some description, the sun is shining brightly and everyone in the park seems to be wearing a smile of peace and enlightenment. I run over the grass and while doing so I try and pick up a ball using Telekinesis, which I am only somewhat successful with (The ball moves in the direction I want, but can't keep up with my pace). I leave it for a bit and try and think about what to do. I am not going to call Mitzu, as I am afraid she will just end the dream prematurely so instead I decide to try out something new, to see if I can make lightning shoot out of my hands, which I can't although my arm starts throbbing in the effort.

I try and think if there are some tasks I should be doing as I am manoeuvring around the city paying attention to all the details to remain in the dream. Minka (very old and dear friend) appeasr on a bike and I think that there was something about being thankful, or was that last month? Who cares, I call out to her to stop, she is riding a bike. She says she will come back in one minute, I tell her we are dreaming, she stops pronto and gets off the bike. I tell her I am thankful for her always being kind and a good friend and hug her. I carry on down the street trying to get my phone to work, it sort of does, but I can't seem to get to the texting interface propper so I can't write kaiser, gah some other time maybe.

I fly around for a bit thinking about what to do, damn I have a poor creative imagination. Ah well, I recently had a dream about duelling Darth Vader, where I wished I was lucid so I expect him to pop up around the corner, which he does. He hands me a sabre and we kick it off and I demonstrate my very limited force powers to my friends as they appear. Although it is great fun being in a sabre fight it was actually more entertaining when I wasn't lucid, when the sense of fear actually meant something however I enjoyed it enough for it to have been worthwhile, I mean it is after all a light sabre. I realise I have been focusing too much on Vader and the dream starts to fade as I wake up.

Don't remember much last night, I wasn't feeling too good.

However, I did dream I was trapped in my room with Queen Zukin and we were enslaved by elephants.

Dream Recall I
August 3rd 2010
Total of dreams: 2

It's nighttime. Me, my sister, her husband and my mom are standing in a bus. We need to go to a toilet, so then we walk off the next bus stop. I try to find a toilet nearby. The toilet I find fills the whole room, and is extremely dirty. The method that was used to divest was to put a big, flat bowl under your butt, and in the center of this bowl was a tiny hole where you could... divest through. The toilet itself was formed like waves, and you had to go on top of the bowl (probably 2 meters from the ground) to sit. I had to empty this divestment in the bowl in a larger hole on top of the wavy toilet. Since the divestment didn't go through, I felt like I had to hide it somewhere. In the door, when I was done, I turned around to the toilet and looked upon it with a feeling of dirtiness.

* * *

In my hotel room I made love to a dark-haired guy with curls. He had white clothing. I couldn't see his face, maybe because of the high brightness in the very dream, and everything was in fact black and white. That night, I had an extreme feeling of horniness. It was raining outside the window, and a man was standing there (in a bird's-eye view, since we were a few floors above him) with a very special gun, with him shooting against our window. I didn't care, I was feeling safer than ever. The bullets went slowly through the rain. They looked more like mini-comets. He hit neither us nor the window, so he gave up and walked away.

Details are a bit fuzzy today (sauvignon blanc), but I know the dreams were vivid, logical, and mundane enough that I couldnt tell I was dreaming (you'd be surpised what's mundane in my life).

Something about a primitivist hippie commune/farm in the forest. Ive never been to this one, perhaps it's a composite of several farming and primitivist communities I've lived with. I remember saying that I felt more at ease there than at any other community Ive been to. The people there were very happy and jovial.

Why are there arcade games in the forest? Ive seen much more bizarre things, I suppose. Its a driving game. I don't have any money, but I sit down in the chair and take the wheel. It works! Its very real. Now I'm in a real car... at least it seems real, like I'm really driving, but I know I'm still sitting in the chair, in front of a screen, in the middle of the forest. Wow, Im driving through a hilly countryside. Its very beautiful, sunny with little puffy clouds. Lots of twists and turns. Its making me sort of nauseous, so I get out of the chair.

I'm in a strange house, on the top bunk of a large bed with a very sexy young man whom Ive never met, and yet were very intimate and comfortable together. Perhaps weve been lovers in some long forgotten dreams. Were cuddling (I don't often actually perform sex acts in dreams. Usually its just a lot of cuddling, kissing, petting , and rolling around), watching a movie. The movie keeps jumping out and becoming real. Satyrs, elves, fairys, minotaurs. Happy creatures with joy and slight mischief in their eyes. A huge grey cat that looks like none Ive ever seen before comes bounding up to the bed, intelligence, benevelolence, and obvious sentience dancing in her flickering eyes. I want to cuddle with the kitty, but I somehow know it's inapropriate.

(This is the third or fourth dream in several weeks to feature magical creatures, btw. Last time it was giants, and we were working together, trying to save a race of dwarfs that lived at the base of a great plateau that I bounded, almost flew down, while the giants leaped from ledge to ledge, down and down to the base of the plateau)

[This is a catch-up journal entry. This dream is from the night of November 8-9.]

I'm at a live performance that [somehow] involves stuffed animals. The show is over, and everyone in the audience is walking in a long line through the amphitheater-style auditorium to return their stuffed animals.

I go outside to get some kind of chicken and some kind of appetizer from an outdoor food stall. The recipe for the appetizer is on the side of a box of Ritz crackers. One of the steps in the recipe is to cut up some kind of food by pushing the two halves of a kitchen gadget together. The guy running the food stall has this gadget and is working on preparing the appetizer [I think; I'm writing this from notes an entire week after the fact, so I don't really remember]. I ask him, “Zucchini wo tabete mo ii desu ka?” [Translation: “Is it okay if I eat the zucchini?”] I use those exact words because I can't think of the word for “zucchini” in Japanese. [Other than that, though, my dream!Japanese was perfectly correct and accurate to real!Japanese this time.]

[Fragment] Something involving Tinkerbell being able to “grow” to human size, e.g., to be played by a human, in another live performance.
