non-lucid

*censored*

I have a bee and a fly doing something for me. Every time I give them some sort of signal, they fly into my cage which is outside my old house. The cage is made of a net. It seems to be suspended in the air. It is dark outside and I can't see anything out.

I am the music director of a concert. There is a layered platform for the performers to sit on and they are all girls. It's outdoor. I walk behind them all.
(Should have put a pen and a piece of paper beside bed so and could write down the dream straight away.)

So I can't believe I didn't become lucid in this one but here it is, and it was a vivid one:

This was after doing a WBTB, and I had been having a rough sleep, but it started out in my backyard at home.

I was suddenly outside and the area to the right of my house was all asphalt, and half the living room was sitting out there along with a tv and some random garbage... I don't know how I could see that as normal but I was preoccupied searching for something I have no idea what, but my Mom was there too. She said go inside, so I did.
In the foyer of my house there was a huge shelf with many different candies on it, and I eyed the macintosh toffee but someone called me from the den(where the tv is). My dad was waiting in the den for me and proceeded to tell me it was my birthday.... it's not for another 4 months and somehow I didn't find that odd, not to mention I didn't know it was my birthday at the time.
He said "so I've got you a present!" He tells me he got me Halo Reach... the funny thing is I don't really care about it at all so I tried to act like I did. So, he put it on the tv.. wait, 2 tv's. Somehow we had 2 plasma tv's one in front of the other. Nope, didn't find that odd either I said "Can I play it downstairs on the big screen?" (theres is a much bigger one in the basement so this wasn't odd).
Then, the dream skipped suddenly, and I could see a very vibrant screen with a cartoon-ish game on it. It looked totally wrong, but the dream skipped again. I was suddenly playing it, in the first person. I had full control almost like a virtual reality system, and I was suddenly running so damn fast weaving around vans and people. This was all in a desert landscape with a few bits of greenery only to the right. I thought to myself 'this is not right, games aren't this real, this has to be virtual reality! (NO, you idiot.) I almost became lucid here because at the same time I noticed a farm house that I've seen before in previous dreams. I actually stood there thinking about it, but no realizations of a dream.
But, I continued on. The 'game' I was playing was nothing like Halo at all so I assume I had forgotten I was playing at all. Now, I was 'living' this scene. After running like a sprinter, the whole scene changed. Suddenly, the cops showed up and I could here blaring alarms.
Note: my phone was set to an alarm and goes off roughly every 5 minutes(forgot to turn it off), so I assume it was that which caused the sirens, and police to come.
I was really scared so I tried to hide. This guy I always see walking down my street at home suddenly appeared and tossed me a gun that didn't work because it was just the hand grip... thanks a lot, bud. The cops then forgot about me and started chasing him ( I believe it's because in reality I think this guy is kind of shady, so I assume the cops turned on him guided by my thoughts).

I was still running away at this point, and I found an old bus that was all dilapidated, so I entered thinking it was a good hiding place. All of these weird Mexicans were sitting in there on a bunch of mattresses an couches it was honestly a funny thing to see, they were all really dirty too(I'm not racist, lol) At this point, after taking in the scene, I asked if it was okay to hide. This one man replied "it's too late, the bus is full" or something to that extent. It was then the dream faded and I woke up.

Season of the Witch
Recall: 5/10
Importance:8/10
Sleep: OK
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm at an older woman's house who happens to be a witch. Her powers are summoning roots that entangle her victims, but she seems to be having control issues. I hear her panicking outside and rush out to see her root powers are out of control and have entangled her children, and her along with them.

I immediately recognize this problem as rampant emotions coupled excessive attention on the roots, causing them to grow out of control. I rush over and begin to calm her down, stroking her hair and redirecting her attention towards me. It works, and the roots recede from her children. I'm impressed by her root powers and she's impressed by my knowledge of control. We grow very close after discovering our new shared interest.

Her husband is evil, but he dies. He's dead, but not gone. I can see his spirit or ghost standing next to us, but don't let on that I can see him. The angry spirit takes swipes at me, but I do my best to pretend he's not there. Finally the ghost of the husband wanders off elsewhere, and I use that opportunity to tell the woman her husband is still here. She doesn't take the news very well, especially since she can't see him, but she now has the upper hand because the ghost doesn't know that we know he's there.

I begin to gather my belongings to leave, and the witch woman gives me a book and a pamphlet with some instructions, along with a pair of her panties to remember her by. I begin to search the house for three baseball gloves I left there, and make several sweeps of the house without finding them. The meddlesome ghost keeps trying to hide the book and instructions the witch gave me, but I always manage to retrieve them. As I search, the witch's children begin to have their powers go wild, manifesting poltergeist activity. Again I diffuse the situation, then realize my search for my material possessions is pointless. I take the gifts given to my by the witch and leave.

Once away from the ghost who followed me for a bit, I check out the instructions on the pamphlet. It's a series of ritual tasks I have to complete in order to become a witch myself or perhaps to accomplish something. I follow the instructions which eventually bring my to a coven for training and initiation. The girl in charge there tells me it's time for the orgy, involving 8 women, but she forgot to invite the men. As the females file into the room, I consider if I'm up for it. I had been having sex with that older witch all day, but I seem to be hard so I follow the women into the room.

There is some magic, some sex, some rituals, some joint smoking, and I knock more tasks off me list. Next I must defeat an opponent, a humongous bald guy. I dispatch my foe easily using magic powers, with no effort at all.

I'm having a lot of dreams lately where I exercise great dream control, but it doesn't tip me off that I'm dreaming. The problem is I believe life is a dream and dream control applies to RL the same as it does in dreams.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Hey hey. I'm thinking about introducing a REM rebound day more than once a week, I slept way too much tonight to just remember two fragments... I did have a long one, which I woke up from, all excited and I felt my head was filled with recent impressions and memories. But I couldn't remember it! I lay there for a long time, but nothing came to me... Anyways here's what I dreamt.

D1:Some guy calls me and offers me a job in the stone business. "The last guy we took in, he didn't fit really. We thought he had good eyesight. But he didn't, if you catch my drift" "Yeah, it's a metaphor right?" "Uhm yeah something like that..."

D2: I'm playing Entropia Universe. And get a big hit of Megan. "Aile" What the hell is aile? I think and look it up on the internets. 7000+ tons. "Omg sweet!" I start clicking and I tell Monica that I just made a couple of Ks. I have to kill a molisk which has a head like Stewie in Family Guy. And I see a rhino.

Amount of sleep: 9½ hours

That's it! If I can get my ass out of the bed tomorrow, I will try to.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

This was an unusual one: my wife and I decided to go to IHOP for breakfast. When we got there, we noticed there were only a few cars in the parking lot, so when we got inside and found several dozen old people seated and eating we were surprised. Also, there were apparently no waiters or any other staff. More people slowly collected at the front of the restaurant. I watched Barry arrive on a bike, only it wasn't quite Barry; he was shorter and a bit thinner but had a chubbier face. Just as I was getting annoyed enough to leave, Laura and I were suddenly on a city bus with the old people. Angry and confused, I asked my wife why we were taking the bus home when we drove there in our car. I pulled the string to signal for a stop, but a man standing at the front said, "Sorry, we only stop at the nursing home." The bus then did this sudden turn to run up on the sidewalk, where it narrowly passed by another bus parked at the curb. I realized that this was clearly a dream since normal buses don't do that, however I didn't go lucid, I had a false awakening upon which I described this dream I just had to my dad.

Had a dream that was kind of a weird fusion of the movies Accepted and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Or perhaps it was some kind of Accepted sequel? Anyways, it seems that the dream took place at a sort of run-by-the-students university. It was larger than the one in Accepted, and seemed more like a traditional university with large, old buildings. The main action I'm able to recall was that someone, a school board or something, sent a new teacher to teach and oversee the university (her appearance was reminiscent of the younger NP I worked with at IFD). She quickly instated some kind of tyrannical discipline such that nobody liked her. I was in a class that was in some sort of giant locker room. At some point I decided I'd had enough of this crap, stood up, and declared that she was no longer in charge of this institution. There were murmurs among he other students. Teacher lady came to the back to argue with me, when it was clear I intended to literally kick her out she walked towards a back table and tried to improvise a weapon from items there, needles and scissors. I followed her and disarmed her any time she brandished a weapon. She eventually fled once more to the front of the classroom. I took charge of the class and directed students to unload supplies and food from a truck outside and to clean out the refrigerator (?) in the classroom. Teacher lady started to object again, so I grabbed her in a bear hug in order to physically drag her out of the building. On the way I walked through another large, gymnasium-like classroom. There was a chime overhead and some guy started reading morning announcements. Towards the exit there was a confused-looking girl standing about. I asked her if she needed any help and she replied that she was here to attend the school. I asked her what she wanted to learn and she replied that she wanted to learn how to do morning announcements. Just then the announcements guy did some sort of interesting segue noise, so I asked the girl if she could do something like that and she nervously replied no. I laughed and assured her it was fine, and directed her to get filled in further in the building. Dream ended there as I continued to drag teacher lady outside.

Im playing trou'd cul with Tam and a chubby chinese guy at school I dont know, along with others. However, they all have Energy Cards from the pokemon TCG, which I never played. I imagine myself kickin ass with my favorite types, Ghost and Dragon. I look around and see a Ghost Energy card with a Haunter on it. I ask them if they play Pokemon, but none answer. Then we actually play cards. With only four cards left, I have a jack, two twos and a three. I end up winning.

A teacher (?) does what im eager for them to do and proposes the new activities at school. I, of course, will pick Improv again. She proposes activities and everyone lifts their hand if they wanna sign up. I remember only book club. Also, I see tables presentating the different choices.

I am explaining Malajube to someone (in a car perhaps?). I mess up the name once or twice, then talk about the video for Dragon de Glace and about how that video is weird and creepy.

Still waiting for an LD now

Forgot to remember my dreams again.
I was with a few people looking at a map, when they pointed to a spot and I was suddenly in a boat in the ocean where the person pointed. I was like "Okay guys, this is good" then it got really REALLY cold and I could see icebergs in the moonlight and they said "You're going into the Arctic Circle!"
"NOOOO!!!!"
Memory gap.
I wake up

Dream Night - 9/14/10

Non-Dream Dream Lucid

Well I was falling asleep, and then I see these strange blue swirls, (might have been a sign I was getting a WILD), and then I fall asleep without becoming lucid.

I am in school, in Italian class. My teacher looks over my summer work, and we talk about my vacation to Italy this summer. In the hallway, I see a board with pictures of my classmates eating breakfast in 1st period, and I wasn't there. I didn't get my schedule, so I go to the office to ask for one. I ask the elderly secretary to get me a copy. I tell her my name, and as she types it, I have a middle name of SEMEN SEMEN SEMEN. I tell her it is wrong but she ignores me. I took the keyboard and mouse and began playing Touhou 10 - Mountain of Faith (A PC shoot-'em-up). I then ask a male secretary to get me my schedule and he can't help me either. The bell rings to signal the end of class and then I wake up.

So this was strange.

September 15, 2010

Not so crazy, last night

Asleep by 12:30-ish.

Murder most foul!
Mostly just watching a dream involving AMC* characters and their current storyline. Someone was murdered and someone else is wrongfully accused. My character (who has no show equivalent - I was myself, sort of) was trying to find the real murderer.

Awake at 3:30am. Well before my alarm, which I had set for 5:00am. I decided since it was a natural wake up, I would do my WBTB now. I did some math questions on the Brain Age game, thought about some goals and such. Decided to MILD when back in bed, but still very tired, recovering from the night before. Passed out.

Banff adventures
[At a restaurant]
Dream starts out with me and others at a snazzy sort of restaurant. I'm eating this selection of meat samples. As in, a new plate of a sample-size of a new dish keeps getting brought to me. I found the last piece rather odd. I can't remember exactly, but someone called it "stuzzy" or the like.

As we're leaving someone asks, "Did you enjoy that last one?"

"Ehhh," I say. "Not really, why."

"Oh good, it was dog," my friend says, nonchalantly.

"WHAT?!"

[Renting a cabin]
Jack and I are in Banff on a trip and we rent a cabin. The scene flips slightly and we find out his whole family is now going, so I say, "Hey, I think we're still renting that cabin..." I think to myself, "Why would I still be renting it? How many days have we been back in the city? How much did this all cost?!!"

I'm walking alone along the outskirts of this amusement park, in Banff, now (which doesn't have one IWL, btw). I see Jack's cousins already chilling inside, and they are talking very loudly with each other. As I walk along the sides to get in to join them, I hear kids muttering, "Why do they have to talk so loud?"

Jack and I join them, and they hand us their babies, however, mine is only a doll (my guess is... one set already has a kid, and the other set is expecting, which is why I got a doll). We take them over to where a group of my WL friends are standing. Lily (who is pregnant) wants to know why we're carrying babies. She is standing with Kristine (who is also pregnant). (I know a lot of pregnant people at the moment, yes.)

Awake again. Tried to MILD mantra again. Still supremely tired and passed out again without any focus.

Food dream
I'm at a breakfast buffet. I'm loading up with many awesome things like syrup drenched waffles, bacon and eggs... I come across these odd things. They're eggs benedict, but baked inside of a croissant. Interesting. I take that too

Now it's lunch and I go into the kitchen. There's a girl in there who is cooking a soup. I ask her, "Why aren't there any fries on? People are going to want them."

"I don't care what people want!" She answers. "They aren't good for you, and I'm the cook. They'll eat what I make."

I decide I really like this girl's attitude, so I set about to help her. She's making a meatloaf, but presenting it like a parfait, complete with mashed potatoes and gravy to look like ice cream and syrup. This girl is a genius!

My mum is here too, so I pay for both our dishes. There's some confusion with the money, because I guess I had paid in advance for mine, but she accidentally charged me twice. She decided to give my money back for the first charge and start fresh, but she kept asking her manager if it was okay.

There's another bit after this I'm having troubles recalling. Mum and I walk to the convenience store in the rain for drinks. We're in there and chatting with the till person, but I can't remember more than this.

*AMC = All My Children - a terrible soap opera that I watch due to some faulty female wiring

Non-Dream Non-Lucid Lucid False Awakening

I find myself in my ASB (student body) classroom. with the old student body class and counselors. I thought I didn't run for student body, this year, but I simply dismissed it as insignificant (whoops). As usual, at the beginning of the week, we were assigned reports to carry out to our classroom. My friend Z and I exited the room and found ourselves in an unfamiliar school with white and green walls. This same school was the school I went to to help my neighbor set up her classroom. I realized my friend Z wasn't in ASB as we gave the report, but again I dismissed it as not a big deal (another whoops). We finished and left the classroom, and I found myself as K of the Penguins of Madagascar (WTF?). We were trying to break open a brick wall off a school to get inside, as the school was in lock-down(?) or something. After several attempts of trying to total the wall, R simply ran the Hummer we were in through the wall, and I found myself closing my eyes, and opening them to appear my bedroom. This was a false awakening, I thought, because something was just off, and I became lucid. A long haired man walked into my room, and he appeared hideously warped. He had no visible face, his arms were dropped, his clothes were tattered, and his legs were limp. As I said, "R. P., is that you?", (I have no idea whose name I called out, I just remember the name) and he walked faster than the speed of light, and slurped near my left ear. My last thought was 'WTF!' as I woke up.

Notes:
Vividness: 7/10 (Pretty vivid.)
Lucidity Peak: 4/10 (Wasn't lucid for long, and had no control)

Sept 15: I was at what apparently looked like a carnivores(game) prehistoric-esque setting like this

(it looked like the land and water/ similar plants similar appearance but not in terms of layout/ elevation) I had gotten into a rut with a flesh eating dinosaur earlier in water and jumped really high over to a minature island (which is like a tiny patch of land amongst some water, about a little ways off from the coast. to my right diagonally there was n shaped cliff. which looked like the halo 3 Last Resort maps cliff except the cliff I saw was more natural as opposed to being built/rubble and the cliff i saw went into a body of water.

I then saw a Stegosaurus running underwater, although for some odd reason there was no water because i had perfect sight on the stego, but the water was there...(tough to explain).. anyways i pulled out a shotgun that looked like this

and i shot 4 quick shots at the stegosaurus in the body and the stego went down ( there was no blood in the aftermath). after doing that I saw hunters or a hunter in a jeep a ways away (towards the begining incline of the n shaped cliff but to the left of it from my stance) I then shot a shell at their(his) jeep ( in my mind I assumed this dude was an evil guy out to torture dinosaurs that looked like colonel custard or something) so immidiately I jump away because he is possibly angry. I jumped to the left and got on top of an elevated sandy/hilly path. I was apparently designated to protect an ally jeep so I had to attack the hunters jeep so I thrust myself toward it and I think I hit just under the car door on the right side (of him) and his jeep was tossed about a foot or two into the air and then his jeep dropped towards the water (which was now visible) then before the jeep dropped I saw a shocked luigi icon pop up. apparently luigi was in the jeep and I might have killed him. it's all vague from that point on. to be honest I don't have a clue if luigi was an ally or the hunters, but I dont remember 2 jeeps going by.. hmm

Non-Dream Non-Lucid Lucid False Awakening

This is my first DJ entry . I am starting out with a dream that I had a very long time ago (when I was 5). I will be labeling dreams over a year old with 'The Archive'. Also, before I was 11, I had the ability to easily control my dreams, but was unaware of my power, so I couldn't do anything that wasn't possible in the moment. Possibly because of puberty. Hope you enjoy.

Upon entering the dream, I was in my bedroom. The familiar red, blue, and yellow walls, toys strewn across the floor, video games and the TV set up against each other, several wooden drawers, it all looked real. Suddenly the room began to shake. I tried to wake up my little brother but he wouldn't. I ran out my room into the large dining room, almost hurting myself tripping over everything. I saw my mom running into the bedroom, totally ignoring me for my crying brother. The shaking got more intense, as you can see the glasses and vases falling off shelves landing with a loud crash. My dad ran outside, by the chiming grandfather clock and the noisy piano, almost playing in unison. My mom followed. I felt I couldn't do anything, and that I did not even exist. I even screamed for my parents and they didn't come. I thought, 'This better be a dream.' Soon, I felt I was going to perish because of falling boards, so I shut my eyes to cry. I opened my eyes with tears.

Notes:
Vividity - 10/10 (Everything was crystal clear, as real as real life.)
