non-lucid

I used to Lucid Dream when I was a child. It felt like I was living a different life. Things were so surreal but they made sense in that strange dream-logic kind of way. I stopped having Lucid Dreams after I was about seven. I started getting loaded up on sedatives and other tranquilizers that either suspended brain function or just turned me into a dreamless sleeper. I stopped taking them about 5 years ago and still hadn't had any really memorable dreams.

Last night, I attempted to induce a Lucid Dream using the WILD method, like I had when I was young. I told myself I would dream of my friends and I would recognize that I was dreaming. I had several very short non-lucid dreams where the instant I knew I was dreaming, I woke up. I tried about three times.

I started to count backwards from 100:
100, will dream of my friends tonight.
99, I will dream of my friends tonight.
...
I reached 81 before I entered my first dream

The first dream, I was in a world with little more than unintelligible block shapes for other entities and I knew this was a dream almost the moment I entered. I immediately woke and continued to count from where I had left off.

80, I will dream of my friends tonight.
79, I will dream of my friends tonight.
...
I reached 76 before I entered another dream.

The second dream, I was with a group of people I did not know. We all had masks on and we were hiding? robbing? I'm not sure. I knew my pulse and breathing were elevated. I felt tension and anxiety. I wanted to look down at my hand but couldn't. It felt like my eyes were on rails. I couldn't control where I was looking or what I was doing.
I forced myself to look down at my hand. After a few moments of straining, I saw just black filber, like a sock, where my hand should have been. No fingers, not even a hint of digits under the cloth. I knew I was dreaming and was forced out of my dream.

I remained in bed for a while, unmoving, concentrating on the faces of my friends.
I counted backwards from where I left off.
75, I will dream of my friends.
74, I will dream of my friends.
...
I lost count a few times around 71 and started over from 75. I eventually slipped into a dream around 63.

I was standing in a very nice Hotel Lobby. A dark and rich wood siding covered the walls and all the counters. There was a soft yellow lighting behind the checkout counter. Track lighting with amber cones and yellow bulbs hung over the desk. A brass chandelier hung over the lobby, directly over a few leather couches, a rosewood or mahogany coffee table and a few expensive looking chairs.
The Man behind the counter was young, bald, and had a goatee. He was tall, about 6'5" and had a thick gold earing in his left ear. He wore a white or light beige dress shirt with a tall collar and a black vest/waistcoat made of silk/satin. When he smiled he showed large, rounded teeth that seemed too large for his mouth. This made his mouth protrude a little from face.
I was able to observe for a few moments before my body began to walk toward the check-in counter. The man behind the counter uttered a few words in a language I could not understand. It sounded like three different voices were talking at once. I realised immediately I was in a dream and tried to hide the expression on my face.
The man noticed something about me and seemed like he was asking me something before his face went blank. He pulled a large knife from under the counter and thrust it into my solar plexus, his arm stretching farther than it seemed it should have. The knife pierced my body painlessly and I woke up again.

I did not try to induce another dream that night and instead stayed awake, concentrating on remembering what happened that night in my dreams.

The Bridge
Clarity: 7/10
Importance:3/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Unknown

My brother is supposed to get some tanks or something, and asks some military guys he knows. Next thing I know, we're riding in the back of an armored personel carrier, with two army guys in the front. The incongruity throws me off for a moment, but I eventually just go with it.

We pass a checkpoint, and I duck down in the back. The people at the gate hardly even look at the army guys in the front, and we barely slow down for the checkpoint.

Next we come to a bridge, and as we begin to cross it. we notice too late that both sides of the bridge are angled downwards. Instead of meeting in the middle, the slope down towards the water. And our vehicle is sliding down towards the gap in the middle! I'm getting ready to jump out and swim for it, but instead we fall into a metal cage on the surface of the water. From there it carries us to land, to a secret military installation.

Our armored vehicle is full of civilians now, like a bus, and my brother and I get off with our parents. There are things for sale on the park benches, and my mother buys a cylinder of gum which I put in my pocket. The building here are supposed to be museums and schools, but they are all just stores. We enter a convenience store, and they guy working sees the gum in my pocket and thinks I'm stealing. A customer offers to buy it for me, but I explain to him that we bought it outside.

Recall lots of other dreams from last night, but they were either boring, or repetitive video game inspired dreams.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning. Had a few too many beers last night, and instead of going to sleep with only Calea in my blood, I had probably a few percentages alcohol in there. Anyways I did have a random dream. Not sure if it was two dreams, but they had the same "theme" so what the heck, I'll write it as one.

Bedtime: 02.00ish

12.45: Black gangsters
I'm down at town square and I take off all my clothes except my underwear. I walk a few meters and come to a large outdoors tub filled with foam. I take a bath and is soon joined by a few black guys. My co-worker Snusknicke is sitting in his excavator next to the tub. "Haha yeah this is so gay, taking a bath with several other dudes" I say and he laughs. I realise that the one closest to me, isn't a guy at all, it's a girl.

She starts talking about how hasch is so misunderstood and people are judging her so quickly. She's talking in a very sluggish kinda way and I can tell she's a crackhoe. I leave the tub and walk back to my clothes, it seems like forever ago since I took them off, and I worry that someone might have taken them. "God damnit! My headphones and my wallet was in my pants" I think for myself. I find my sweater and my shirt, but no pants.

A few meters away under some rubble, I find them and I'm relieved. I'm suddenly taking care of this small baby aligator and it's snapping at everything. A black crow comes up to it and I realise it must be its mother! I feel very happy when they are rejoined.

This is very like my normal, waking self. I am often very selfish in my dreams. The dream changes and I'm walking between two large white buildings. They appear to be abandoned and I can see why. There's a gangwar going on on the street.

A single african guy is standing in the middle of the street, shooting at a couple of people further down, who are behind boxes and statues. I hug the wall to not get hit by the bullets coming from multiple AK-47's. One by one, the people behind the boxes go down, and I can tell they can't aim for shit. The lone guy on the other hand seems to be VERY skilled at it. Near the end the five or so remaining people go down within seconds as he adapts this army-like shooting style. Fast, methodical headshots.

I can see his right arm is wounded and he puts it in a sling, but other than that. He is unscathed. He smile as he reach the small hill of rubble and people, and runs off the other way. Just another day in the African ghetto.

Wake up: 12.45

Amount of sleep: 10 hours

Food before bed: 1 x Calea extract pill (around 1 g) Lotsa beer.

That's it! I will try calea out in a few weeks, and only once during the weekend. It doesn't seem to give me much, but I have to admit it does give alot of clarity and apparently I dream about gangsters when I'm on it. We'll see next time I try it.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

I had a WILD last night so I'll start from being awake. I think I woke up at 6.00, though my alarm is set to 4.30 so my alarm didn't wake me up. Before going to sleep I had decided to try VILD.

The dream

I start the visualization, visualizing myself in a jungle. Now I am at least entering the dream state. I think I reminded to myself that I'm dreaming. There is a lagoon in front of me and a path behind me. I follow the path. My father joins me. He points towards a little cave formed under the roots of a dead tree and tells me to go hiding. I'm not sure, what I replied, it was "I don't want to" or "I don't have to, because it's my dream". I watch my sister entering the jungle and going hiding under one of the trees. Some thugs are coming down the path. I turn and start walking down the path, away from the thugs. I arrive back to the lagoon. I try the visualization once more, checking if I have all my senses. After that I get out of the jungle, entering a crowded opening. There are some old women by a campfire. One of them yells at me to come to them. I obey her. The woman tells me that theres some sort of game, but they'd need more players. I tell them my father's coming there. I see him in the crowd. I tell the woman he's that man in the black jacket. The woman yells at my father. He comes to us. Now we can get the game started. The woman tells us the rules. We are some drunken amoebas that want to reproduce. In order to do this, we have to touch another drunken amoeba. We begin the game. I touch my father and leave. I go to the other side of the opening and enter the jungle. My dream body disappears. Now I see a dragon. Theres someone telling me it's story. (S?)he is a (wo?)man who shapeshifted into a dragon for a hundred years. Now (s?)he is turning into human again. At the same time (s?)he is hatching (this is the strange part, I have a feeling that it was a he, but still (s)he hatched). The dragon keeps laying eggs and changing between human and dragon. I watch it for a few minutes. Then the dream ends.

Dream number 2

I fall asleep soon after waking up. Now I am in a bus. Soon I remember that I'm dreaming. I check my senses. Everything except vision is working well. My vision is about as poor as it is awake. Well, theres a cure for it. Dream eyeglasses! I summon my eyeglasses and put them on. My vision goes better. Nah, these'll just get in the way, I'll use dream contact lenses! I summon my contact lenses and put them on. Problem solved. The bus stops and I get out of it holding three bags. The bus starts to leave. "Wait!" I cry at the bus driver. "I'll just check if my backbag is in there". It isn't. I try to fly, jumping in the air and going into a horizontal position. I crash on the ground, but I don't hurt myself. I get back up, deciding to walk. A girl I know and her friend leave the bus also. I start walking towards my home. They turn to a different direction. There's pretty much snow on the ground but it isn't very cold. The girls stop to a snow hill to glide on mini skis. Other one of them yells at me that I can't glide as well as they can. I go to the hill, pick up a mini ski and climb on top of it (if you are wondering, what mini skis are, they are about 40 cm long skis). The hill is about 4,5 metres high. The girl is about a metre below me. She glides down on her ski. I glide down on mine, but don't do very well. Luckily for me, I have a plan. The girl laughs at me saying something like 'you see? I'm better!'. I summon jetpacks and use them, but I only fly a few metres. "Don't laugh yet, I'm still moving", I tell her. "Hey! That's cheating!" she protests. "It isn't! It's my dream and I can do whatever I want!" I say, going some metres more. "This thing isn't working properly". I get the jetpacks working and boost myself into space. Below me the Earth explodes. Gravity pulls the pieces back together (in a way it wouldn't really do) in to a crudely shaped ball. The oceans are still left so the Earth is still recognizable. The oceans boil out, leaving the Earth. Bender's voice from futurama says something like 'not anymore'. I go back to the Earth. There's still some jungle left. I go to a village. It's very small, about 20-35 people live there. There's a narrow canal with green water in it. That's their all drinking water. The canal is separated in the middle and on the other side the water is a little bit clearer. I ask a man that is with me if that's their all drinking water. He says that it is. There's a woman that could help me somehow. My view changes on her. She is dead, lying in a campfire. I go to her and see that she really is dead. The dream ended soon after this.

Purple Spots (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

One odd dream. I am trying to journal (online) only my full dreams. Except it one day I have only fragments.

It was summer and I was going to meet some friends at the beach. We went to a fancy hotel and we had booked a year stay. I was surprised that the hotel allowed us to book a whole year.
I explored the area. The hotel was full of wooden docks and it had some pools. I could see the beach from the hotel. The sea was rough but people was bathing anyway. Suddenly, I saw a very odd school and I decided to explore it.

I was at a very odd school. Purple spots spawned everywhere and they were floating around. There were several Dream Characters with me. We were working on element fusion to create new and not discovered elements. One of the DC was naming the new elements we were creating. Suddenly, someone said, "The Mexicans and even one from Spain." I had a pink bike with a big engine.

The teacher announced that someone's father was dying. We had to save him before his death. I still saw the purple dots floating around.

Missed dream signs:
- Booking a whole year at a hotel.
- Purple dots flying around (I do not do drugs not even smoke... so I do not have waking hallucinations)

My wife has clones (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

One dream:

My wife had a few clones. I had sex with one of the clones that had by them a different appearance than my wife. I had a big home with very old school furniture.

My original wife (not the clones) was mad at me because I did not move the castles as she liked. Odd, I know. I exited my home and it was night. I was walking on a fancy walkway. It had well grown grass and small plants with flowers. I saw a small castle on my left. It was actually more of a tower. I was thinking maybe my wife did not like the tower there.

I went back to home and one of my cats snuzed like a human. My cat grabbed a piece of toiler paper and blowed her nose. She cleaned her nose and drop the paper on her bowl. My cat said she would eat it up later.

Missed dream signs:
- My wife had clones.
- My wife was mad at me for something odd.
- My cat talked and acted like a human.

I am watching Lord of the Rings: Return of the King with my brother and my dad. The first scenes I can recall seeing are helicopter shots of hilly, green, swampy landscapes and grey skies. My brother says, "This is boring!" and I respond, "Nah, I don't think so. Its like a more epic version of Planet Earth". There is then a flashback to a scene from The Two Towers when Gandalf and Aragorn are fighting a red and grey, writhing, serpent-like creature in a street of a burning city. This flashback scene makes me want to watch The Two Towers again, but I am still excited to watch the rest of [U]Return of the King[U]. Next, there is a scene in which Jesse Eisenburg (wearing jeans and a t-shirt) is trying to get somewhere to deliver a message in a large pamphlet to the good guys. This message will be crucial in helping them win the war against Sauron. Eisenburg is trying to get to a boardwalk that follows the edge of a cliff that looms over a large lake, but there is a highway and a railroad track between him and the boardwalk. There are a lot of cars traveling down this two-lane highway, so he waits until the right moment and dashes across the highway. There is no train coming, so he immediately crosses the train tracks and steps onto the board walk. This board walk is slightly hanging over the edge of the cliff and is only held by ropes that are connected to the train track. A train comes, and there is something that topples over and out from the cargo car. As it falls, it severs one of the ropes that suspends the boardwalk. The boardwalk falls over the edge of the cliff along with a screaming Eisenburg. However, he grabs ahold of one of the many vines dangling from the cliff and does not fall to his death. He is only holding on with one hand, as he is clutching the pamphlet in the other hand. I think to myself, "I would've dropped the pamphlet if I were him". He crumples the pamphlet up and sticks it in his pocket so that he can hold on to the vine with both hands. He eventually climbs back up the cliff and continues on with his journey.

Raider vs. Raider
I am in a forest, I look around to see where I am. The forest looks normal, and I am not aware I am dreaming right now. I walk along one of the paths to see where I might be, thinking things seem a bit strange for reality. I don't actually do a reality check, but I slowly become a bit more lucid at a time. I reach a village and see there are quite a few people wandering around, most of them seem worried about something. One of them acts briefly like I was an enemy, then calms down. She says there are raiders on both sides of them, they didn't know what to do. Raiders… that could be interesting, so I ask where these raiders are. She says they are to the north of the village, but I will want to avoid that place. I don't pay any attention to her, instead I take to flying, which shocks the people in the village, and I head north. There are raiders to the north of the village, but they don't seem to be interested in the village, they are busy fighting each other. There are quite a few of them, they seem to be broken up in smaller groups, battling amongst themselves. The ones I see seem to be blindly cutting down anything that moves, whether it be an enemy raider, a plant, or an animal trying to escape… What a bunch of assholes. I land and form Witchblade into a sword and kill the first group of assholes with little difficulty. They seem to have had the idea a woman wouldn't be a threat… There are quite a few of these groups, so I am going from group to group and doing the same thing in each place. There is an injured lion type cat near one of the fights, I heal the cat, and then the cat decides the raiders look pretty tasty. I come to another group of raiders who are killing themselves… and no, they weren't killing each other, they were killing themselves… One of them struck his sword out in front of him, then somehow the blade was behind him and he ran himself through… what a strange flux of space-time… I see that happening in a few places, and then I spot someone near one of the groups. He isn't there for long, but I would have sworn it was Walms… I catch another glimpse of him near another of the battles where raiders are killing themselves… One of them injures himself and then the lion I healed, or one just like it, pounces and finishes the job. There will be a lot of meat for scavengers to feast on here…

I'm Going to Disney Land!
I am in a large theme park, in the dream I believe it to be Disney Land. I am not lucid, so I think I am there on vacation or something. I wander around a bit, I realize I have a camera on my sun glasses. I can get footage of places Disney Land doesn't want me to get footage! I also will have fun. I go over to Space Mountain and take a ride through there on the front car, it is a lot of fun. It was faster than I remembered, but the tunnels are so dark I don't know how well my footage came out. I go to Star Tours, the virtual reality simulator, and it is not as fun as I remember it. The simulated motion sucks. I get the footage anyway. I am thinking I came here with my mom, and she will be waiting up front for me to leave, but there has to be time for one more stop. The Matterhorn! I will get footage on that! I head to the Matterhorn and am waiting in a line that doesn't seem to move when I wake up.

Smokin!
I am at school, but it is a much larger school than my normal school. I am walking around the halls trying to find my next class. I have no idea where to go, I need my schedule. That is in my locker, so where is my locker? Shit, I don't know that, either. Damn first day of classes. Tigress is there with me and she says she's off to her class, she'll see me when class is over. I think that's no help, since I don't have class with her for this one. I wander around more, everyone else is now out of the halls and in their classes. I wander to the edge of campus and stand there with a couple other girls talking and clearly ditching class. One of them offers me a smoke. Without even thinking about it, I never smoke IWL, I accept the cigarette and the light. I am standing there smoking with the girls. One of them says her mother checks her purse, so she hands me her pack of cigarettes. She said the only condition is that I share with her. I say sure and put the pack in my purse. Somehow here time is missing, because the next instant I am getting home in my car. I go inside the house and say hi to my mom. She says hi, but then sees my open purse and the pack of cigarettes. She looks so disappointed. I say they're not really mine, I am holding them for a friend… then I realize how lame that sounds. I tell her ok, they're mine, but I only smoke about one cigarette every month or so… if I smoked more, she would smell it on me, right? Right? I don't think she believes me.

Note: Only a couple of fragments from today, and I am running behind, so here they are.

Final Exam
I am in the largest classroom I have ever seen, it is easily the size of a large concert hall. Instead of just seats around the room, however, the stands are lined with desks at which people are working. This is during a final exam, though it's not even a class I am taking at the time. I am sitting next to Tigress, who is taking the exam. Somehow I have a copy of all the answers from the test. The class is a completely pointless one that isn't worth the time it takes to study for the exam, so I was helping Tigress to cheat. I do that for a short time until an instructor comes over. I hide the answer key just in time before he tells me I don't belong there, so then I get up and head for the door. Just by the door there is a ladder up to the rafters of the room, so I climb up that. I expect someone to stop me, but no one does. I am now in the rafters looking down on the students taking their tests. I crawl over until I am over Tigress, and I start dropping answers down to her in small balls of paper. I don't remember how I knew what answers she needed when, but she seemed to be doing fine with that method. I hear a sound off to my left, I look and I see some guy sitting on a toilet taking a crap… um… not really what I want to see. This is sooooo wrong… When he flushes the toilet, there is no pipe under it, and a splash of water and shit falls down on several students sitting below… um… yuck… But they don't seem to notice, they keep working.

It's a Gamble
I am in a casino of some kind, it is a bit different than most casinos I have been in . Instead of being a big room, it is a long hallway type setup, with slot machines on the sides and a couple poker tables at the end of the hall. I don't know how to play Poker so I go over to one of the slot machines and check my pocket for money… nothing. I think that means I can't gamble, so I might as well find the exit. I'm not sure where to go for that… The entire building suddenly shakes, and the slot machine beside me pays out spontaneously. I collect the money, thinking I won by earthquake. Now I have a bag of quarters and I still want to find the exit. I walk down the hall, the place shakes again, more slot machines pay off. People are gathering the quarters, I decide not to get greedy since I can't get to the money very easily. I see a sign that says exit, so I go to that and open the door. I am hit in the face with a blast of wind as I see the place is moving at a rapid rate. I look out the door and see the tracks below, the train stretching out in both directions… I am on a train! The train is a casino. I wonder if I could survive a jump if I hit the ground in a roll like they do in movies. I am considering that when someone grabs me and pulls me into the train, telling me it is going too fast to get off. I turn and see a man has pulled me in, I recognize him, but not sure. Is it MoSh? Maybe. He says the slot machines in the next car are loose, they all pay out all the time. We should go there and get some more money. I am following MoSh when I wake up.

Trick of Perception
Clarity: 7/10
Importance:7/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm playing Vindictus, or rather I'm in the game, running around slashing monsters. On the floor above me, I spot two cartons of indian cigarettes where a pot containing healing crystals should be. I climb to the second floor wondering if I'll acquire them in the real world if I get them in this game world when the floor suddenly collapses beneath me. I pick myself up and begin climbing back up when the boss of the level appears and begins to talk about the cigarettes.

The level Boss says the cigarettes can be twice as strong, showing me a chart with the normal cigarettes and the twice as strong ones. The difference between the two, he tells me, is a matter of perception. He then launches into a long lecture on perception, and how to use it. It's a fascinating speech that has me completely captivated.

Suddenly, the level boss stops his speech in mid sentence, and snatches a necklace from around my neck. I realize what just happened here. He used his speech on perception to dmanipulate my perception so that he could swipe my necklace. While I appreciate the Irony of his maneuver, I don't like being tricked, and I hack him up with my sword until there is nothing left of him but a pile of bones.

I was in a car with SA and some other random people. I think the car was red. I think there were two SAs. I couldn't stop looking at him. The dream didn't last too long.

---

Some fragment where I wanted a banana. I grabbed a bunch from my living room and tore one off. It somehow ended up splitting the skin on three different bananas. There were then two other bananas that were opened. I was worried that I shouldn't leave them open, but I didn't want to eat them either. I attempted to arrange the skin on them again to try to close them. The dream faded.

---

I was getting up to go to the bathroom when I noticed this big spider hanging out on my door. I wasn't that freaked out, but pretty disgusted. I wanted to leave it there and let my mom or my cats deal with it, but I was scared of it creeping into my room or something stupid like that. The dream ended.

Just to get the point this dream wasnt lucid and I only remember one of my dreams last night.

It started out with me and my friend flying in this car through some video game. We finished a level and continued, before remembering that there was a green portal we needed to go through. So we turned around and headed over there. We got out of our flying car and she pushed me into the portal and didnt follow. I looked around, it was the same level we had just done but with a tint of green and it was turning. There were bad people following after me so I ran to this shadowed area and picked a few herbs and plants for food. I waited for a bit before running again to another place like this. Then I picked a few more plants and herbs until the people heard me. I ran and climbed into a car, hot wired it and drove. I had been driving for awhile and taken a lot of damage from the people chasing me. So I jumped out just before the car exploded and sprinted to a smaller car. I pulled the driver out and got in, and drove. Eventually the people sent a semi after me and I found a little bay area behind a restaurant. I pulled in there knowing that the semi would block the way for any other cars chasing me. I jumped out of the car and ran up a few stairs to a door. I pulled on it and panicked because it didnt open. I spotted another door and ran over to it, praying that the people wouldn't find a way into the enclosed area. The door opened and I ran in. I handed the people at the counter a cup and then ran outside into the street. The people were gone so I ran over and stole another car. I drove around for awhile not worrying until I ran over a person and the people started chasing me again. Then I woke up.

It was like a mix of Harvest Moon, Spyro, ToonTown and...Grand Theft Auto. I honestly have no idea how all of this happened.

Not even close to Lucid Dreaming last night. Oh well had some dreams slightly

So I was listening to music (so I would wakeup and try to LD) and once I woke up I wrote down the songs that were in my dream:
You're So Vain - Carly Simon
Shelter From the Storm - Bob Dylan
Mr. Bojangles - Bob Dylan
I Want You - Bob Dylan
There wer other songs between these songs that were played, but these were the only ones that made it to my dream (Seems to have a filter) anyways I have no idea what the dream was, just those songs... so that's too bad

Second I was in a large circle of chairs, lots of family and friends. I called my cousin something, and then my Aunt said I hope Riley didn't hear that, so I asked and he said 'Ninja' and we laughed. Later I was stealing peoples chairs then Shaun said I needed to calm down, and I thought he was confused, because my other cousin was building things that would break... or something... I remember checking the fridge, there were potatoes which were bad... and some chicken or something. That's all I really remember

Text color legend: · NON-DREAM · NOTES · DREAM · LUCID ·

I am walking through a housing development with my brother and another DC. The development is kind of run down and the houses are old and weathered. There are no trees and only small bushes in some of the yards. The grass has not been cut recently, and is very tall. We walk toward a vacant lot in the corner of the development. This lot has a lot of yard debris and other junk strewn throughout. There are old broken appliances and car parts all over the place. There is a large cement drain pipe sticking slightly out of the ground which has a huge underground cavern inside of it. I trip and fall over some of the junk, nearly tumbling down the steep hillside at the edge of the lot. There is a dead animal carcass under some loose brush that has no odor, but there are flies all over it. There is the sound of a distressed dog in the distance. My brother climbs down into the cavern, looking for the dog. After a moment of searching, a small white dog appears from the nearby bushes. The dog is whining and yelping a bit while staring at me. The dog's hair is stained a slight pink color and it's eyes are unusually large. My DC takes a step toward the dog and it took off running. This was the dream's exit.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! This has been a sucky week when it comes to recall. I've been working full time and it's really affecting my sleep. I'm super tired when I come home, and wake up barely rested at all. Anyways that's why I longed for this weekend so badly. I decided to try out Calea last night, and will tonight again. It wasn't as amazing as I thought it would be, but I did have some cool dreams which were pretty clear and stable. I also seemed alot more "awake" in them than I usually am.

Bedtime: 11.45

I'm with Monica and we're just about to enter the subway. I check the monitors and I can see that our train is just minutes away from arriving. We go down the escalator and I call my friend Eric. "Hey dude, where are you? Our train is leaving in like two minutes" He tells me he bought some drinks instead of a train ticket and I just laugh at how stupid he is. I hang up and we arrive at the station. I meet my friend G there. We greet and he's unusually serious for some reason.

WBTB 45 minutes
Drank some Calea tea with lots of honey in it. It wasn't even bad tasting for some reason, I might have taken too little in there... Ate some porridge and also a Calea pill filled with the leaves. Then I went back to bed and actually had trouble falling asleep right away, I got really cold and tossed and turned for a while.

9.00: Gangsters in Jugoslavia
I'm holding some kind of plastic bag and I'm walking in a dangerous neighbourhood. I walk through some houses to a courtyard when I spot several people who look like gang members coming from the house. I figure I shouldn't trespass so I walk back quickly across the lawn I just came from. I try to look casual but one guy spots me. He walks up to me and starts talking in rough english with this high pitched, smoker's voice.

"Please, I don't want to die" I tell him, scared shitless. He laughs and puts his arm around my shoulder in a reassuring kinda way. "Don't worry, you will be taken care of" he tells me and smile. We walk up to a big white house and he enters before me. The layout of the building is really weird, and it looks like it's not finished at all. Electrical wires hanging down from the ceiling and the walls are all grey. The guy I was with aren't to be seen, but I decide to continue through the house. The rooms are on different levels with no stairs between them.

I jump down into a room several meters down. And climb up to another one. Suddenly I'm inside a room filled with high-tech stuff. A guy is sitting at a computer and we greet. His english is very good and he doesn't look like a gang member at all. He tells me he's from Jugoslavia and I reckon that's where I am atm. I take a look at what he's doing at the computer. He's talking to some kind of robot face standing next to the computer. "This is my robot, it has a very advanced AI" he tells me. "I gotta go for a while" he walks out the room.

I sit down at the computer and start talking to the robot. It's a male and his voice is amazingly realistic and human-like. I feel very clear in my head and I start asking questions about people and their behaviour. I draw conclusions and think of stuff which actually make sense now that I'm awake. Everytime the robot is about to answer he gives off a loud sigh. I ask him a very long question which he says nothing to. I can see I've accidentaly muted him. A girl walks in the room and we greet. It's the guy's sister and an alarm goes off next to me.

She turns it off and I check the time. 08.45. "Oh, I've been sleeping for 2 hours!" I say. This should have made me lucid but doesn't.

I wake up and I try to DEILD. I remember seeing alot of different images and I'm halfway there. I black out.

10.45: Fragments
*I'm driving a car and feels pretty reaistic. I change lanes all the time and people are going past me. I get kinda worried that I will crash since it's been some time since I last drove. Suddenly I realise I've taken the wrong exit and I have to turn the car around.

*I'm playing this awesome 2D game. The view is from above and I'm up against a really tough boss. He's chasing me around a small dome with pillars in it. He has a companion which is shooting at me and it's really hard but very fun at the same time. The map changes to some kind of miniature soldier war. I shoot down alot of other soldiers and I get a hold of a flamethrower and the effects are very cool. In the end I die with the boss having like 30% hp left.

Wake up: 10.45

Amount of sleep: 10 hours

Food before bed: 2 x Omega-3, 50 mg B6
WBTB: Calea tea, + 1 Calea leaf pill.

That's it! I'm going to try it out later tonight, and increase the dosage. Hopefully I will have amazing dreams mohah! I know I had more dreams, something about a farting cat, but I don't really remember.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!
