non-lucid

I am inside of an instructional video on the plans of a racist group that plans to destroy Africa.

I hear an omniscient narrator say: "In five years, Africa will end the problems of this world"

Then there is a nuclear blast. I see a cloud billowing up on the horizon, then I look a round and see people being torn to shreds by a wave of heat and dust.

September 21, 2010

Long night, decided to skip the WBTB. So as a result, I really only remember things in fragments...

Dreamed these between 12a-5a

Knee Clinic
Jack and I driving to a knee clinic near the train station. This clinic did all sorts of odd surgeries. I also remember having to go in, myself, for my gallbladder (which was removed a year ago). They were going to pump it out somehow without making any incisions?!

Lucid aids
Names kept getting tossed around in casual conversations in my dreams.

Expensive Lunch
I was with a DC at a buffet. They were serving sides you couldn't pick (steamed baby carrots and mashed potatoes), but you could choose your meat. He chose a roast chicken with gravy. It looked really good, but I declined eating there, because I was meeting my parents for lunch (so I said). The guy paid for his food and it was $56

Convenience store guard dogs?
Jack and I went to a convenience store, cos I was really hungry and still hadn't ate. Approaching the store, I see two dogs leashed up outside. They don't seem to like me, and get visibly upset when I try to step closer. They don't mind Jack, though, so he goes to the door. He doesn't see anyone inside, so, he starts pulling the door open very slowly. The owner sees him and pushes the door open, causing this shelving thingy next to the door (outside, still) to fall over, startling me, Jack, and the dogs.

Dreamed between 5am-10am

Swimming pool
I'm a a large indoor pool with mum. I happen to be holding a garden hose, which we're using to fill the pool with water. It's almost full, I'm waiting for the water to reach a certain number on a display. It has to read 29/30 before I'm done (or something like that). All the while, I'm complaining that a garden hose to fill a swimming pool isn't really the best option. I try to come up with other things, like, the hose is spitting more air than water... No avail though. The reading numbers keep changing oddly, and I decide when it hits 28/32, it's good enough. There's two barrels full of liquid now, to pour into the pool (chlorine? A disinfectant of some sort?). The man over-seeing this whole operation asks us to smell them before we dump them in. Mum smells hers, and it's good to go. Mine smells funny, and it's agreed to not use it.

Gym
At a gym with Jack or something. Notes say it, I can't recall it, now.

At school
I'm at my old elementary school in Ottawa. The neighbourhood isn't quite as I remember it, but the school looks the same. I walked across the yard towards the road. I recall to myself that when the buses leave the school, they act much the same as city buses, and they pick people up at stops, and this is where I'm heading... to one of those bus stops (this has no bearing in real life ).

As I'm walking on the sidewalk between the road and the school, this large truck comes around the corner pulling a very long... trailer? Load? I dunno what to call it, but I worried that because it was so long, it was going to cut unsafely into my path. The thingy straightened out perpendicular to me, but it actually was off the road now, and on the sidewalk. I walked alongside it, edging away from it, on the grass (it's moving in an opposite direction to me). I pass by this one bit that looks almost like a clothes rack. I tell myself it holds a magnetic field, and as I walk past it, I can feel my earrings being attracted to the field, but no harm done.

I reached the bus stop across the road. There are parents with their kids. The parents are upset the buses haven't come by, yet.

A Jack Entry
Although he isn't writing this... I am

He dreamed that he was at a past elementary school, with his actual past classmates, only, everyone was present age. They were learning magic at this school. He recalls having to defeat a dragon. on the recall, babe!

September 19, 2010
New dream colour PINK!

Testing Lucidity (but not lucid?)
I was testing something in the dream. I only remember lying on the couch, but I can't recall if whether I thought I was still awake and about to sleep/dream... or whether I knew I was already in a dream, but for some reason needed my couch? I'm leaning towards the former.

Infallible RC is not so infallible
My company for this dream was Elise and Jack and this DC dude who rather liked me. He was trying to build or accomplish something... This detail is a bit fuzzy on me. I remember there being a car he was trying to fix, vaguely. We were in this house, and I spent most of the dream evaluating his actions to determine if I wanted to sleep with him or not.

At one point, I was in another room, and he was yelling at Elise for something. Losing his mind. So, he has anger management issues. That's a negative!

So, we're all standing out by some train tracks. I did a RC, and so did he. Elise wanted to know what that was all about. I explained to her that I do RC's when I become aware again, and then try to maintain my awareness.

Not a bad plan, only... My infallible RC is not so infallible. My back hurt and I felt weighted by gravity... Hmm. IWL, I do more than one RC, but never do in dreams. New plan: more RC’s I guess. Better awareness? More logic questioning? Bah.

Anyways, so we get off the train and I’m in a new dream! I'm a teenager, not myself. I approach this other girl who I guess is my sister, but I don't seem to like her (or her friend) very much. But I walk with them and talk about my friends. We've formed guilds in our school. And one was called distorted... I remember catching that (it’s the name of my old Warcraft guild) and "woke up."

False awakening. I remember waking up disoriented and thinking it's 10:15 in the AM. Almost time to get up anyways, might as well record the dream and start my day... Wait... wasn't I supposed to sleep for a night shift tonight? Woke up for real. Nose pinched. Truly awake this time

Since my recall is back to being quite stable and solid, I'm going to destroy it and venture back into DEILDs for a bit...

September 18, 2010

Asleep by 4am.

The spider
For the majority of this dream, I was just playing the rapid werewolf with some friends from MM. However, after one of the games I won as a wolf, I was presented with a huge black tarantula by someone standing next to me (didn't see who). I think I passed out in the dream, causing me to wake up IRL.

Forced WBTB around 9am (didn't really plan or want to do one, today).

Woke up around 2:50pm after an early morning drugging of zopiclone. It unfortunately affects recall very negatively. I can only say that I'm very aware that I dreamed something else, but can't remember what it might have been.

<Click here to read Part 2>

I had the sensation of time passing, although it was an instantaneous transition from the zombie attack to what was presumably days later. My friends and I were gathered around in the apartment building to discuss what had happened. The closet door was still shut and had remained so since the zombie attack because we knew that the portal to the zombie homeworld was still open behind us. Something had to be done about that, and I also mentioned the little girl that had tried to escape them.

"We don't know how many prisoners they're keeping or why," I told everyone, "but it's up to us to get them the heck out of there. We've got to take the fight to the zombies and wipe them out once and for all."

Jane Doe looked up at me with a hint of admiration in her eye. I suddenly had the sensation that our relationship had grown over the past few days as well.

As it turned out, this would become more than just a sensation. The closet room had been converted into our battle station where we could enter and exit the battle zone at will as long as we controlled the door (which was guaranteed since the room was outfitted with other defenses now, as well). There were a few tiny rooms (just a bunk and a wall in a metal box for protection, nothing more) that we could rest in, and we did so every night to keep ourselves sharp for the next day's warfare. Even though we had proper weapons this time, it was slow going to raid the zombies since we had to filter out who was dead and who was alive, because there was no external difference that we could perceive.

Anyway, one night after about (what false memory said was) a week or so of battle, Jane and I had a little talk in one of those rooms. We'd been growing closer that whole time, and although I don't remember exactly what transpired, but we concluded that we loved each other and had to be together. So rather than sleep that night, we simply stayed inside that little room and talked or just sat in silence with our arms around each other.

But the night always has to end eventually. In the morning was another day of battle. When it was time for everyone to get up, Jane and I went out to brief everyone on the day's mission. We sat next to each other in the circle of our friends, and I moved up close and put my arm around her. The relief of being able to do that instead of refrain from it in order not to offend Jane (as would have been the case back when we were just friends) was phenomenal. I'd never felt like that before.

"Thanks." she said, as if to say 'it's nice to feel secure and have something happy for once in this bad situation.'

I briefed everyone and then we all started to head through the closet door. However, I stopped Jane before she could get through, pulled her around, and gave her a long kiss.

"I love you." I said (intended connotation: 'be careful out there')

"I will." Came the reply (intended connotation: 'I get your connotation')

And then we went out to battle. Since by now this is incredibly long, I'll spare you the details, but suffice it to say we won with heavy casualties, and those who were alive were beaten and worn out. We had freed as many prisoners as we could, but some were killed in the action. However, most of all, I was just glad the fight was over. Still...there was one last problem that found its way to me right after I killed the last zombie. A baby that had been imprisoned there lay on the ground, crying. I picked it up and ran out of the portal back to the closet room just before the portal closed up, sealing us off forever from that dreaded zombie world.

Next thing I know, I'm in the streets of the steampunk city again, several areas in ruins from the zombie attack of a few days ago. My little army of friends passed by me in line as they exited the apartment, all of them dirty and bruised. I waited anxiously for Jane, as I intended to give the baby into her care, but she never came through the line. Frantically I ran to find someone in her squad.

"What about Jane? Where is she?" I asked.

"Jane?" They replied. "I...well...she...I never saw her come out. I'm sorry."

"No." I said firmly. "She's alive. Where is she?"

"I can't help you there."

Determined, I walked back to see if I could find her myself. But just as I did, down the stairs walked none other than a very beat up Jane Doe. I ran up to her, put the baby in her arms, then let her collapse against me as we kissed and I supported her. I knew people were watching, but I didn't care. This was my Jane; nothing was going to stop me from being with her now.

"We have to go now." She said after a long while and lots of 'I love you''s were exchanged between us.

"Go where?" I asked (intended connotation: 'I don't care where as long as we're together')

"No, I mean we have to wake up. We're all dreamers here, remember? Now just...wake up."

And I did wake up. I know that doesn't seem all that exciting now that it's written down, but trust me, the love in that dream was real and strong enough to make it incredible a thousand times over. The cool steampunk/sci-fi environment was just a bonus. And the intense battles were neat, too. Unfortunately, all that doesn't translate into plain text very well...oh well. This is an experience I know I shall not forget.

<Click here to read part 1>

Once inside the upstairs room with the closet, I reached over to the nearest lamp and hit the switch. The lights didn't come on. I hit the switch again. No good. So I went to a different light and tried it, but got the same result. "Oh, that means it's a dream!"

Now if you know me, you know that I like to use doors to teleport places in lucid dreams. But my lucidity was not strong even now, and so when I opened the closet door, I did nothing but shatter everything...and lose lucidity.

All the lights and lamps in the room (which were many) flickered strange colors, as if there was an electrical issue. I didn't know what was going on, so I decided to just grab the gift boxes and go. There was an eerie blue light inside the closet that was good enough for me to just barely be able to make out what was inside. However, one step further inside, and the whole place shook as if from an earthquake. I stumbled and fell, expecting to hit the back of the closet...but instead I fell right through where the back wall should have been.

When I looked up, I was flat on the ground of a vast mass of red, mars-like sand. It was dark in the sky, so I couldn't see far, but I could feel in the air that something was wrong about this place. My feelings were confirmed when a little kid ran up to me screaming for help as she apparently fled from something...just before hands reached out of the darkness, grabbed her, pulled her into the darkness, and then...instant silence.

And now all the attention was on me.

"The portal!" A rough voice shouted from the distance. "It's open! Move, now, let's GO!"

I tried to get up and run, but I ended up being carried back through the closet by the oncoming flood of bodies that rushed through it. Once they'd gotten through and changed their course, momentum flung me into the air and into the middle of the forest of lamps that stood in the closet room. Because it was dark and there were too many lamps to comfortably navigate, nobody paid attention to me, and I watched in horror as dozens of 7-foot tall, burly, rough men rushed into the room and down the hallway right to where my friends were. Many of them brandished weapons...I knew that no one would stand a chance against them.

As soon as I found my footing, I got out of the lamps and threw myself at the closet door. I managed to shut it, but in the process cut off the finger of one of the tall men as he stuck out his hand to try and stop the door from closing. I was surprised at first to see that there was no blood...it was just a skeleton and dried up, gray insides in that finger. But then it all made sense. These were the living zombies I had heard about; those who were internally dead but externally still strong as ever. Fully mindless, ruthless bodies.

Jane Doe was the first thing to come to my mind. No matter what happened, I just couldn't let the living zombies get to her. She didn't know how I felt about her, but our relationship had a lot of potential that I intended to take advantage of when the right time came, and I wasn't about to lose my chances now.

Suddenly I had knives on my belt, so I pulled them out, ran for the stairs (which was where the zombies were by now) and with expert handling began to lodge the blades into the zombies' dead bodies. It wasn't exactly one knife = one kill, but it distracted the zombies long enough for my friends to get weapons of their own.

The battle raged for what seemed like hours. It was not an easy victory, but we did eventually destroy the zombies' bodies bad enough that they really and truly died. I remember the last zombie's death in particular...I was running out of knives, when I had gotten backed into the closet room by one final zombie. I had a couple minor wounds, so I was being cautious--not to mention this thing was huge and mighty and had brass knuckles. I landed one knife into the zombie's shirtless chest, but it merely groaned in pain and kept coming my way. I threw another one and it landed right next to the first knife, but still it didn't bleed and it got close enough to land a blow that threw me back several feet.

I was out of knives. Frantically I searched my belt, but there was none. However, after a glance behind me, I saw a blade sticking out of a dead zombie's back, grabbed it, and hurled it towards the live zombie, expecting a triumphal, last-minute kill.

It didn't happen. Despite three knives in its chest, the beast was still as alive as ever, and heading my way. I really thought this was the end...

**BANG!**

A bullet shot echoed through the halls. The zombie collapsed onto its knees, two holes through it in addition to my knives. It cussed and swore in pain, but still didn't die.

"Finish him off!" I called to the one with the gun (who was on my side, obviously).

He emptied out his clip on the zombie, but it wasn't until easily two-dozen bullets later that the thing finally died. Still...it was over. We'd fought off the zombies.

<Continue to Part 3>

^(yep, I started a new, more descriptive title format )^

(Ok, I noticed that this one is going to be really freaking long, so I split it up to make things easier for you all)

Last night was one of the best dream nights I have had in a loooong time. It was one of those dreams that you wake up from and you just lie there and don't know what to say but..."woah." I mean this was a truly awesome experience. The level of detail throughout the whole dream was so intense that it was my biggest obstacle to lucidity. There were other things that should have convinced me of my dreaming state, but I'm actually rather glad I only stayed semi-lucid the whole time, with short bursts of true lucidity at key moments. I think things wouldn't have been as imaginative had I just tried to think things up on my own, but I had a good enough idea that I was dreaming to not be afraid of anything.

Anyway, enough rambling about the dream; I'll start from the beginning. Pretty much the whole thing will be teal this time, instead of trying to figure out everywhere I wasn't lucid and everywhere I was and where I was in-between.

Remember that girl from my first great WILD, and that rather romantic flying dream, not to mention some others? Well, she's back, and was in an apartment building with me and a ton of my other friends from real life when the dream began. (Actually, she's been in every dream I've had this past week, though none of them were so memorable as this one) I'm not exactly sure what we were doing all gathered together there, but it sure was a cool place to have a party. The apartment building itself was a very sci-fi-looking place; everything about the building spoke of sophisticated technology. The walls were metal and doors were automatic, etc.

However, once outside this building, the world transitioned into a very steampunk environment. In sharp contrast to the bright interior of the apartment, things trended towards darkness except for all the lights of the city, which was large, but mostly inside one big structure of glass that sheltered everyone from the continually harsh weather outside. The atmosphere of walking through that city was incredible.

At first in the dream, that's about all I did...just walk through the city and explore. There were certainly plenty of things to see and places to go. I started out a couple stories up (walkways wound all through the city) and walked down a blue-lit spiral staircase to the ground level. Along each side of this walkway were lines of businesses--major and personal and everything in between. It resembled a street, except no cars drove on it. In fact, I don't recall ever seeing a car anywhere.

As I first began my walk through the amazing city, my awe was interrupted by a merchant lady running a personal business about ten feet away from me.

"Excuse me, sir." She said. "Would you like to buy some cupcakes?"

"Hm? What?" I replied as I turned around to see where the voice came from. "Oh. No thank you."

And I proceeded onward, putting on a steampunk-ish cloak to avoid drawing more attention. The city was amazing, but darkness still was its most prominent feature, and you could either be in constant fear of it or use it to your advantage. I chose to do the latter.

The first place I stopped at and went inside was some kind of nightclub-ish restaurant. The walls were illuminated an ominous red, but other than that, the whole place was dark. I could see only silhouettes around me. I got a drink (nothing alcoholic, mind you ) but while I was sitting there listening to the techno music playing I overheard two rough-sounding men discussing rumors that some people in the city were not actually alive.

That got my attention.

As I listened, I gathered that there were zombies that were totally dead on the inside, but still animated and un-decayed externally, appearing to have life. They were also rumored to be the most dangerous creatures in existence.

"And the worst part," the man on the right concluded, "is that you never know which they are--dead or alive--until it's far too late."

I left in silence, as undetected on my way out as I had been on my way in, and returned to the apartment. Of course, when I passed the cupcake stand, the lady again spoke up.

"Excuse me sir, would you like to buy some cupcakes?"

"No."

However, no sooner had I gotten back into the apartment than my friends (and that girl I mentioned earlier, in particular, who will now be referred to as Jane Doe) asked me to go buy some supplies for the party that we were having the next day. False memory told me I remembered what they were talking about, and I agreed to go back out.

Again I passed the cupcake lady, and again she asked:

"Excuse me sir, would you like to buy some cupcakes?"

At first I was annoyed, but then I realized that would actually make my trip shorter to just buy from her--and maybe it would get her to shut up whenever she saw me next.

"Yes, actually, I would." I replied.

She showed me the flavors and toppings and all that and I made my decisions and told her what quantities I needed.

"Ok, I'll have to make a special batch for that many," she said, "but they'll be ready tomorrow morning. If I can just get the phone number of the person the party is for I'll get started on it right away."

That kind of flustered me. I wasn't sure of the phone number for several reasons. One: I didn't really know who the party was for now that I thought about it, and two: I didn't recall seeing any phones in the city or in the apartment. I had very nearly figured out it was a dream when the DC interrupted:

"Oh, I gotcha. You don't know the phone number. Well, I'll tell you what. I'll go ahead and make the cupcakes and you can get the phone number from your friend and when you pick them up tomorrow morning you can get the number to me. Sound good?"

"Oh. Yeah, that works."

"Ok, well I'll see you tomorrow morning, then!"

"Yeah. Thanks." I replied as I walked off, still slightly confused at what transpired.

I went right back to the apartment to inform everybody of the cupcake situation. I felt like I had kind of failed, coming back empty-handed like that, but nobody else thought so.

"I can go pick them up while I'm out tomorrow morning." Jane Doe told me. "That will work perfectly! Now, would you mind going upstairs and getting some gift boxes for me?"

"Sure." I replied.

Length: 20 min
Non-dream Dream

I was camping with Lauren, Anthony, two other people, and someones mom.The mom told me and Anthony to come with them all to go into the words. I remember hearing something from her about how we need to take a shit in the woods. Anthony asked me why we were going, I said she wanted us to shit in the woods, cause it's good for it or something.

We go barefoot, following the mother into the forest. I was cool with the fact she wanted us to shit in a forest, but I didn't have to shit. I got to a ditch (gorge?) and was going to shit in it, but I didn't feel like shitting. So instead I let the mother get far enough to where she couldn't see us, then me and Anthony wandered around till we found this other campsite.

We found 4 guys around a table, and started talking to them. They said we should all chill together. We talked about where we lived, I remember them asking where we went to school, I said North, and they said they didn't know where that was, I said Saint Charles North, and they acted like they knew it, and they said they went to Aurora, and had to drive 13 miles to get here. Then Anthony and one of them started playing catch with something (*I think it was a CD or a frisbee).

All of a sudden, the mom (must've been Laurens mom) came up holding Lauren by the ear. "There is shit on her collar and it helps the fabric texture," she yelled, then looked at Dean and said "Alright, now you say it." Dean said he had shit on his shirt and he was proud (Lauren had a brown spot on her shirt, and Dean didn't) Dean seemed pretty embarrassed though.

It was pretty odd, I just kept my head down. The guys asked me and Anthony if we wanted to go to their camp and play some video games. We went there and they played Guitar hero while I watched. I walked away alone. I had to find someone, not entirely sure who, but I think they were back at where we all started. On my way there I saw an old lady, who had to walk up an old hill, and was having difficulty. I walked up it with her and said I was having problems too, since my foot was messed up (since it was once broken). We got over, and there was a far less steep hill we went up. At the top there was a vine attached to a tree.

The old lady said it was the fastest way, like a shortcut, and grabbed it and jumped off. She hit three branches on the way down, and when she came back (to normal ground level) she hit another one, hit the ground, and screamed she was okay. I thought (very clearly) I could do this because it's a dream, and it won't hurt. The scene changed immediately, it turned into a snowy area, and instead of a vine it turned into a rubber rope, that was attached to a zipline. She tossed it up to me and I thought "Fuck this, and walked to the left and slid down the snow. I woke up.


Not much to say there, but it was a fairly fucked up dream. I've never had a dream revolve around shit before, but then again my dreams seem fairly appropriate and even "mundane" most of the time.

Awake Non-Lucid

I'm walking down the blue cycle path near my house. It's a bright, warm day but with the perfect amount of wind blowing in my face. My friend Rochelle is with me. We walk and talk about meaningless things at the same time. I'm eating too, weetabix minis. Except they're not so mini. Why am I drinking this milk? I don't even like milk.

[Dream skip - A few minutes later] I'm now at home, and Rochelle is with me. I go to the kitchen, planning on shredding some chocolate to put in my weetabix. I shred the chocolate, but cheese lands in the bowl instead. I get frustrated. I don't want cheese! I eat it anyway because I'm pretty hungry, it doesn't taste too bad. My dad comes in and tells me cereal isn't good for me. I tell him to go away and keep shredding cheese.

I don't realise how long it's taken me, because when I look up again it's dark outside the windows and Rochelle has gone home. Okay... I forget about my weetabx and head up to my bedroom. My laptop's already on, on a video chat to Rochelle. Why is she crying?

"You were so nasty to me today! You're such a hostile person... You start fights with everyone!" She continues to cry, shouting at the screen. Here she goes again...

"I didn't say anything today! What are you on about?" I say, defensive. All I done was eat weetabix. She continues to rant. I partially lose interest as a pink bird lands on my bare leg. I watch as it pecks bloody holes into my skin. I shoo it away and inspect the peck marks. At least they don't hurt...

"I'm just so glad I have my boyfriend otherwise I wouldn't know how to cope with you! For three years!"

"You've known him three months." Then I chase after the bird. I grab it from the air and realise it's mechanic... But it feels real and looks real. But its eyes are red and flashing. Someone's sent this after me. I eye Rochelle suspiciously. She continues to cry and shout about how I'm such a shitty person. God, she sure can moan. I sit on the floor, cradling the pink bird in my hands, wondering about it.

Something's not right about my room. Is this how I left it? For a moment I don't even think it's my real bedroom. It's bigger isn't it? But then I dismiss the thought when the bird chirps. Then I look up. There's a doll on the floor, with creepy wide, red flashing eyes. I start to freak out, I really really don't like dolls. It looks like it's about to stand up and eat me. I scream at Rochelle to shut up and throw the bird at the doll.

Another short and boring dream. Well I better get a decent one tonight with a little action in it Or I'm going to get really pissed.

Strategy Game (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Fell in bed at around 3:00. I tried to WILD, but (as usually) got bored and rolled over to sleep.
I saw i was playing a strategy game. Something like Red alert + Age of Empires + Empire Earth. There was a panel on the right that looked like the panel of red alert. Although only the first category was correct (buildings). The other three were pretty like "whatever works". I remember starting and building a wall around the main building and placing some power plants in a non-strategic way. I messed up the wall too. Whatever. I remember i built a dock and then i could build both Soviet submarines AND those Allied ships with one plane on them. I got attacked by other submarines but i beat them easily with two ships (not gonna happen in real game :p). I also remember building mining trucks (the ones that teleport to the mining facility) and there were some mining robots too, which i don't really remember having seen anywhere. They may looked like some robots from Empire Earth but i don't know. Anyway. I got 2-3 of them mining and 7 of them patroling... Yes, they could also fire... (???) Now the surprising part. I saw some troops comming to attack so i grabed my... archers (LOL) really quick. There were really many archers which i don't really remember having trained... I think i sent some tanks too, but i can't remember clearly. The point is i won the battle. :p When that attack occured i also went to the archery range and selected the button to level them up. The panel was on the bottom (like age of empires) and the "level-up" icon showed a female villager from age of empires. I remember that seemed really weird at that time but i was in a hurry to get them leveled-up so didn't bother a lot. I thought it was some glitch... I also remember seeing some really strange and huge building in the game, which had a cap. It looked like i could twist it to open it and so i did with my hand... But it was still in-game, like... on a screen... although i didn't have a picture of me in front of a pc... I can't explain this. :p Anyway. That was it.
I 'm gonna try WBTB tonight. Posting any results tomorrow...

I can only remember fragments from last night but I can remember a few parts that were vivid.
My friends and I were at some amusement park and were on a ride that you are elevated upwards in a cage and then dropped until you slow down at the end. However one my buddies was riding on the outside of the cage for some reason. We went on the ride again after he survived however we were with our parents this time as well. He decided to ride the outside but lost his grip and was killed on the way down it was bizarre and terrible at the same time.
After this dream I proceeded to have a false awakening at my home 200 kilometers away (im in Uni right now staying there) which I can barely remember and I awoke thinking that 'it was just a dream'. I then started speaking to my family about the dream I just had right after a false awakening I can't remember their replies and that was all I can recall.

September 21st 2010

Quick note: Last nights recall was also pretty bad. I lost sleep again, so I feel pretty rubbish today. Hopefully this will cause me to sleep tonight

Awake Non-Lucid

We're on a school trip, at a theme park. I'm with a bunch of friends, talking about bands and music. The rollercoaster nearly encircles us. I randomly give Gary a pen because I forgot to give it him back.

My music teacher comes over and begins to ask questions about the band I'm in.

"Well it's a rock band but people find the stuff a little crazy. I don't care though because it's what I want to do."

Two of my friends who are actually in bands stare at me awkwardly and I realise I'm not actually in one. I mutter excuses and turn away, attempting to laugh it off.

[Dream skip - A few minutes] We're in a gravel car park, waiting for the bus to come. We all stop in a big group to wait. I notice a small, slightly over-weight man dressed in uniform. He grabs two suitcases and lays one each at two american girls feet. They're about to say thank you when he kneels down and starts to line them up perfectly. "Too far." One of them says and then they turn away. Hmm... How strange.

Our bus pulls up and it takes us to the classroom. It's on a hill. There's a roof with flourescent lights, but no walls. I take my seat, but C and R come up. C pulls out two yellow books, says happy birthday, and gives us one each. Mines is a novel I've read before. R's is called "Lucid Dreaming and the Quad." With a cartoon picture on the front of someone sleeping. She seems rather disinterested though.

A biology teacher comes up after he sees what she has. He tells us he LDs sometimes and goes on to tell us what he does but for some reason I can't make out what he's saying.

[Dream skip - During class] My english teacher asks where my essay is. Shit! Hadn't I asked to copy notes off someone?

"I'm dressed in leggings for Christ's sake! What more do you want!?" I shout. But before that I didn't know I was wearing them. I look down and see brown and black leggings, with straps and flaps over them. I look like I just came out of Final Fantasy. She ignores me and starts writing on the blackboard behind her. I moan and call her names in my head.

[Dream skip - After school] I'm in the Co-op staring and examining different types of bottled water. A middle-aged man comes in with a large bag of bananas, and fills a tray with them. He tells me he hates it when the store runs out. Why? That means people like them.

I grab a bottle, turn around, and notice garlic cloves all over the floor. I try not to step on any as I head out the door.

Ugh, pretty boring for my standards. I have another dream to type out, but I need to do it later because right now I'm going out for dinner

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! That was one hell of a night. It started off by me waking up, thinking there was something in the room. My pulse was probably around 160 and the adrenaline was pumping! "Holy shit! God damn that was cool" I said to myself. I don't know what it was about, but I must have remembered what it was then, since I knew it had been a hallucination. Anyways I had some B6 last night before bed and it was some ride. Here's what I dreamt:

D1 Night: Snowboarding with pissed off friend
I'm with my friend Henrik. He's agitated for some reason and I can barely say anything to him without making him angry. We're in my hometown just outside my appartment and we're going down streets with our snowboards. Henrik falls alot, which makes him even angrier. I have no trouble standing up. Suddenly I gotta take a shit real bad, and decide to run to the closest bar, which is Tommy's. I sit down and start shitting like never before, while holding my hand on the lock so that no one can pick it.

D2 9.00: Late for work and ghost in the house
I wake up, and check the time. "Good I got time for a jog before I go to work" I think for myself and put on my running shoes. I start working 16.00 for some reason and I start running. I run for some time before I check the time again. 15.00! "God damnit I'm gonna be late!" I curse and start running home while making a call to my dad, explaining the whole thing. "You can't come to work late! God damnit you know that!" he tells me and I hang up the phone. I'm just about to call my boss when I enter my appartment. I think. I don't recognise any furniture at all. "What the fuck...?" a guy enters the hall and starts freaking out. I recognise him as my neighbour. "This is your fault" I say and I have no idea why. "My fault? How can this be my fault?!" he yells and I calm him down by explaining that something's not right. I take a good look around and he has alot of books, and the appartment is huge compared to mine. "You know my entire appartment would fit in your living room" I say and he laughs. He shows me to the door since I couldn't find it on my own, and I leave.

"That was weird..." I think as I enter my own appartment this time, and try to find all the stuff I need. Suddenly two people appear out of nowhere and they seem to be as confused as I. My mp3 wire gets ripped out of my hands by some invisible force and the plug hits the kitchen counter. I try to take it back but it's like it's magnetic. I finally get it loose and I draw the conclusion that there's a ghost in the building. The two guys with me agree and we try the wire thing again. "Cool, it really sticks!" I say and we play around with it for a while, leaving marks in the wood.

D3 11.00: The new girlfriend experience
I'm at a big carnival of some sort. The place is like a small town and I'm there with my friend Eric, my brother and some other people. I don't know how, but we end up in a large lake, partying with alot of other people. Apparently I had broken up with Monica the other day, and all the girls in the water knew it. I felt like I could use some comfort and inspected them closely. I recognise one girl I know, and she's staring at me, her face glowing in the sun.

Suddenly two girls come up to me and tells me they're having a private party, and that I'm invited. "Is that so?" I ask and grab them both, lifting them up onto my hip, one on each side. They're a bit chubby but I don't mind. I squeeze their asses some and we decide to get out of there. We start swimming towards their "camp" or whatever and I see several grey and brown water snakes under the water. Soon we're up on dry land again.

"How am I supposed to get back again tomorrow?" I ask and they tell me that I can just take a cab or something. But I've got something even better, I've got a Hearthstone! (from WoW) and it's inside my cellphone. To get into their camp, you had to pass through some customs, and apparently you had to make a good impression. I try to remove my headphones and turn off my mp3 but the music won't stop playing. An old chinese man walks out of a black car and heads towards me. I just manage to take the headphones off in time to bow and shake his hand, and man what a handshake!

We enter their camp and the girls walk off to get ready or whatever. I see my friend Eric and he's with a girl he liked back in the days. I think about Monica for a while and wonder why we broke up, my good mood is getting worse by the minute. I start talking to Eric and I ask him what he's up to. "Well not much, we're going fishing tonight" he replies and I ask him if I can come, I really need to talk to someone I know about this whole thing. He tells me that I can't and one of the girls I was with, comes back and grabs my arm and leads me away from him.

We walk up to one of the many houses and enter. This is apparently where I will be sleeping. I put my cellphone on the nightstand and we walk towards a beach. As I'm about to jump in from the bathing platform, I slip on the slimy green algae. I do a few spins in the air and continue spinning as I fall to the bottom. I lie there for a few seconds before I swim for the surface. When my head breaks the water everyone on the platform is laughing with me, and I see a big black, stationary camera standing there. "Oh cool, now I'll be on TV or something" I think and the girl I'm with, jumps in the water and we swim away.

After swimming for a while, we walk up on land, and I can see some new houses. I start thinking about Monica again, and it doesn't feel good. "Why did we break up?" I walk to the backside of the houses and find a small football court, made out of small rectangular stones in mud. I start kicking a ball and the girl joins me. We each score some and I kick the ball far away. "I want to go get my cellphone" I say and she tells me we can go back, she just has to pick some flowers first. I start walking ahead and stop after twenty meters.

Looking back, I see a yellow monster truck with shiny rims that doesn't move. Coming down a hill on a road. Soon after there's a guy with a skateboard in his hands. He takes a big jump and lands on his belly on the skateboard and disappear behind the houses. I pluck some white flowers and think about Monica. I decide to take her back and I wonder what the hell I'm doing with this piece of trash instead of her. The girl comes back and she has a whole bunch of flowers in her hand. We start heading back to the original camp.

As we enter the camp, I ask about my cellphone once again. "Yes relax, you will get it soon, but first you gotta see something" she tells me and I get shoved into a small washing room to wait. Monica is there for some reason and she's working. I decide to tell her later tonight when she comes home about how I want her back, and soon the door opens. "Alright see you later then" I tell her and finish the sentance with "Puss hej" (which means like, kisses, goodbye in Swedish) and the girl's friend looks at me suspiciously.

I'm led into another small house and her mom and dad is there. "What the hell is this?" I think and the mom shows me a piece of cloth she's made. I suddenly realise what's going on. I'm getting married to this girl! I can see the text on the cloth and it's some clever rhymes in Swedish, telling a story about how fast it all happened but that we're in love. They all laugh when the father recite it all and comes to the part of what's going to happen tonight *wink wink*. You'd think that the embroideries were enough. Not really... The mother had covered half the text in silver. And she told me that she wasn't finished yet. They had to work hard to get it all done!

I panic and run out the door. I miss my little Monica so bad that it hurts! Just as I was just about to start crying, I woke up. All sweaty and relieved!

Amount of sleep: 9½ hours

Food before bed: 2 eggs, 1 can of makrill on 3 pieces of knäckebröd,
25cl Applejuice, 2 Omega-3 pills and 50 mg B6 vitamin.

That was a very interesting night! Most vivid dreams I've had in a long time, and the length of them all! I've never had such a long recall ever. Something I ate last night was definitely working. The B6 perhaps? I had also only slept 4 hours the day before, so might be that.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

The first dream I can remember from last night was that I was camping with my girlfriend and we brought this portable DVD player and we were watching TV shows and movies on it.

Next dream I was sitting on a doorstep with some friends talking when we saw something, I went to see what it was and it was a skunk and it started chasing me and spraying me. I have no sense of smell but I could almost smell the horrid rotten-ish smell of the skunk. I woke up from this dream kicking and waving my arms, when I realized I was dreaming I laughed a little to myself in waking life

The last dream I remember is me, my girlfriend and her friend were in this store talking about what we're wearing for Halloween and going to this Halloween party. We talked about this and looked at these Halloween costumes that were on display, then her friend walked away and I was sort of wondering why we didn't follow her because I thought we had plans to go somewhere else other than this store and look at costumes.

DJ Log: September 21, 2010 – Morning, 7:15AM (USA Eastern)
Text color legend: · NON-DREAM · NOTES · DREAM · LUCID ·

(Note: I recall several dreams this morning but I don't think there was a re-entry, as they all seem quite different. This is the first time I have recalled more than one dream at a time. I took a 100mg 5-HTP before going to bed. During WBTB, I took a 200mg L-Theanine, 4mg Galantamine w/ 200mg Choline, and a full glass of apple juice. This is my first experiment with dream supplements. I don't remember being lucid during any of them, but I remember that they were very vivid and highly detailed. During recall, I was unable to recall many specific fine details.)

Flying (#1)
(Note: I only remember a small fragment of this one.)

I jump from the top of a parking garage and cannot fly at first. I attain flight just before hitting the ground. It is as dark as midnight outside.

Air mattress w/horny DC (#2)
I am in an empty box truck or trailer, laying on an air mattress on the floor. I am horny as hell and am staring at a DC who is also laying on an air mattress. After a while, he turns around and stares back at me. We exchange winks and flirts for a bit, then he gets up and walks away for a brief moment. He returns and I get up and go lay in his lap.

Antiques / flea market (#3)
I am riding in a truck through a city, in search of an antiques store. A DC is driving and I am giving directions. Somehow, I am very familiar with the area. We turn off a main road and onto a side street and I tell the DC to park here, pointing at a door on the side of a building. We parked and walked into the ground floor of the building. It is a flea market and antiques store with three floors. There is a spiral staircase that goes through the center of the store.

I chose to check out the top floor for a while, and my DC walks down the stairs. I found nothing interesting on the top floor, so I start walking down the stairs. My DC shouts up the stairs, “Come check this out!” I get downstairs and he is looking at some random junk that I could care less about. I walk to a table along the wall and look at an old Russian portable black & white TV set. It had two channel knobs and four smaller knobs on the front panel which were labeled in Russian. My DC is walking over to look at it. I said, “Wouldn't this make a wonderful music scope?” (Note: A modified B&W TV to display like an X-Y oscilloscope.) My DC walks over to another table and is looking at some items. I walk over and pick up several remote controls and a couple other things. I place them in a pile in the middle of the floor, along with a few other items I had picked out earlier. I can see some antique shortwave and ham radios sitting on another table in the back. There are some old Hallicrafters and other familiar vintage ham and shortwave rigs sitting there. I pick up my items off the floor and look at the door. This was the dream's exit.
