Non-Dream Non-Lucid Lucid False Awakening

---------------------------
||Dream Fragment||
---------------------------

The beginning of the dream was hazy, and I don't remember any of it, but I ended up in a very dark hotel room. It was dim-lighted with dark brown furniture, and a curtained window. I was looking for my father in the hotel, and couldn't seem to find him anywhere. I stumbled upon a blinking time-bomb. I thought 'Oh crap!' and jumped out the window. While falling three stories, I ditched the bomb in the ocean, which promptly shorted out. I walked around and saw a few cartoon people in shark outfits chasing my cartoonified dad. I pulled him out of the madness and walked towards a nearby dock. I chatted with some family and friends and turned around to the hotel. A young woman in a modernistic kimono dress randomly handed me an odd sword. It was long, wide, and had a dragon design on the handle base. It looked similar to Sephiroth's blade, but a bit shorter and wider.



As I was playing with it, I noticed a commotion up some ways. I saw an odd machine that looked like a recent creepypasta I saw.



I muttered under my breath, ''They've found us.'' I turned around and got my family to the dock. I watched the machine look through different buildings, around and under everything in it's path. I started to devise a plan to keep my family safe. A moment later, I yelled, "RUN!" Everyone in the vicinity ran away from the machine as it charged after it. I stayed behind, trying to fake out the machine, as it lunged toward me, I tried to think of running back, then jumping into the water where it wouldn't reach. As I ran back, the machine grabbed me on my left leg and I landed with a *smack* on the concrete ground. It's claws began to dug into my leg. At this point, I woke up, with a tingly feeling in my leg.

Notes:
Vividness: 7/10 (My dreams are getting easier to remember and they are getting more vivid.)
Obviously since I said, "They've found us," I was probably pursued by a group of people before my dream was easy to remember.

Unlucid


I was in this town when suddenly aliens start coming out of the sky. I get in my dad's car quickly and we start driving home. When we get there, there are some weird clouds in the sky. I tell my dad that we better start stocking up on food cause we might be stuck at home for a while. After this I woke up In bed very tired. As I went back to sleep I was telling myself, "I hope that was a dream."

I was with the German Exchange student again. Since he's beginning to be a recurring character, we'll call him MM. We were in Germany, walking through the streets. We walked under an overpass where we saw a small group of homeless teenagers. We were about to pass them, when he turned around suddenly to talk to them. He said something in German, and gave one of them a hug.

We went inside of a mall and he showed me around. I noticed that some of the ads were in English. He told me that they had rules about what could/couldn't be written on the ads, so to avoid this the advertisers wrote it in English instead.

He bought me a necklace with gray rocks on it. It was interesting looking. I didn't ask for it, but I thanked him anyways. That was very kind of him.

The mall was closing, but he said that he wanted to show me one last thing. The people around us were disappearing, and the food court was closing down. We walked to the food court and to a small restaurant that was closing shop for the night. The employees smiled at us, they flipped a switch and all the sudden it was raining inside of the restaurant! We had a great deal of fun with the sprinklers, and even managed to persuade the owners to let us play with their water hose that hooked up to the dishwasher and the sprinkler system. By the time we were done, we were soaking wet, but we had a great time with each other.

Together we left the mall and walked out into the parking lot in the night.

"I had a bad dream about you the other night," I said to him. When I looked over, he was gone. I ran to the car where the exchange family was and told them that MM was missing. My phone rang, and when I picked it up a strange voice was on the other end. They were pretending to be MM, but the voice was so dull and flat it was a terrible attempt. I eventually deduced that he had been abducted.

Notes: Got to sleep early and woke up in the middle of the night. Tried for hours to fall back to sleep and finally gave up. Watched a movie and eventually returned to sleep for a few hours.

2215: Sleep

0215: B. I am in SAV. I am hanging out with Ben. He lives at the sound end of the complex. I think I am helping him move. He gets upset and I want to leave but I am still at his house. He and his older brother (doesn't exist IWL) are starting th make other plans for the evening. They want to go smoke pot? I feel left out but I can't leave yet for some reason. I keep thinking about how JavaScript doesn't have statics. I think the statements var s = 0; this.static = s;.

Now it's Dave in the house instead of Ben. He is dressed up in black and white. He's leaving soon and is looking for a sweater. He yells at his mother but she doesn't have it. She is pregnant and moves slowly. He yells "Get hobbly!" to tell her to hurry. I leave and start walking home. I pass by a playground. People are talking about how it is new. From the second story of the apartment building, there is a slide. People are saying that a slide is safe for kids than stairs or a ladder. A young girl is saying this as she is climbing a ladder.

0815: Back to sleep

1030: B. I'm in a big indoor mall. I think the whole mall is sports themed. I'm there with work people and old school people. We are at a sports bar. Somebody has a giant old typewriter in front of them at the table. Lucas is there and we are trying to avoid him. He wants to be called "Lazurus" or "Laz". I change tables a few times to avoid him. Each time I close my table with my credit card. I'm drinking beer, something pale. At the last table, my credit card doesn't go through. I look at the card as the waitress hands it to me. It's a white(?) American Express card. Something to do voting? It has some letters on it that are supposed to say how it should be used. I open my wallet and it's all messy. I pull out my green AmEx card (from the wrong slot IWL) and everything is fine.

There is a competition among some people in our group. I'm not participating, just watching. It's being televised by ESPN. The events are outdoorsy things, like chopping wood. There are three events in different parts of the mall. The whole group walks around the mall between events. My teeth keep falling out and I try to stick them back in and hold them in place. I don't stay until the end of the last event. I don't know who wins. I wander around the mall trying to find the exit. I reach a dead end, which seems familiar for some reason. I turn around and head a different way. I run into Ashwin. He was in the competition. I guess he didn't win. He asks me about the ESPN broadcast. I think he wants to be sure that his mom sees it. Then we talk about tennis.

1248: C. I go to work, but it seems like a car wash. It's just me, Frank, Lucas, and a faceless artist. They are debating with the artist about the color of a couch and some 2D images for characters that can be pieced together for different poses. The couch is in the car wash tunnel. I say nothing. Lucas suggests going to Costco to buy more couches. He leaves. Then a bunch of young kids enter the room. Frank comes up to me to confront me about missing work. We try to talk over the noisy kids. He says "You're not well." I say "No, I'm not." He says "We were comparing you before and after and you're not the same. You're dressed like a kid." I look down and see I'm wearing the company baseball jersey. Frank is wearing the same thing.

September 16, 2010

Asleep by 1am. Getting a bad cold, so sleep was a bit of a fallacy last night.

Walms, the puppy!
[Guest house]
Jack and I live in a guest house that is on my parent's property. It has an awesome bathroom. Nice big jet-tub and the sink is a very unique shape. Rectangular and nearly flat. I questioned how it holds water, but it seems to, so...okay...?

[Boardroom meeting]
I joined these other ladies around this boardroom table. They're all celebrities and I recognize them, but I don't know their names and I can't be bothered to look them up. This boardroom was inside the main house, where I was living.

I can't recall what was said, but the chick with the short red hair was upset because she'd said something that offended someone else. It was smoothed over, and we went on to our discussions.

The room very slowly started transforming. It was no longer a boardroom, but a very large bedroom we were lounging around. This is where Walms first appeared. He left the room, and I got a call on my phone. "I need you to meet me downstairs, urgently!" he said.

I excused myself and went downstairs. Walms had shapeshifted into a dog... a very adorable furball poodle (sorry Walms!). He said he had a hot date with another dog down the street :banghead: but his puppy convertible wasn't working... It all just kind of disintegrates from here.

Sorry Walms... my dreams get weird when I'm sick :Oo:

Weird Al fragment
Singing "Achy Breaky Song" to my BF.

I'm at school. My friend comes to me. He says we're having a cooper test later that day. I go into the school building. In the building there is a dentist and a hairdresser who thinks everyone should be bald. I go upstairs. It turns into a summer camp at which I was at summer. I go to my bed. Although it isn't like the bed I had at the camp, it feels familiar. I partially take the blanket off. Under it is an instrument of some kind. I do something to the instrument to produce sound. I'm not sure where I went next (maybe downstairs), but next I'm in my dream world, in a cottage in which I have been before (at least in one dream the forest outside was haunted). The walls have some holes in them and the floor is composed of the soil of the forest. I come out of the cottage. There are other students also, and our teacher. The teacher gives us all half a watermelons. A friend of mine asks the teacher if he can go home because he has some things to do. "No, you can't", the teacher says. "We are going to listen to some Chopin now!". She goes inside another cottage opposite to the another one. I has some decoration in it, a proper floor and no holes in the walls. I put my watermelon on a table. I go outside and continue to the shore. The ground turns into a beach. For the next three days I drink heavily (haven't ever even considered that). After those three days have passed, I'm totally screwed. I feel like having a leak so i unzip and start to pee. The sun burns my eyes. My mother and my brother emerge from the forest. My mother shouts something like "Whatcha doin' there?". I finish and pull my pants back up. Shortly after that I wake up.

I am walking about a very odd neighborhood. I say it was odd because I couldn't for the life of me discern whether or not it was a town, a city, a school, a campus, etc. It was just odd in that strange dream-like sort of way that is very nearly impossible to explain to another human being (or computer screen as the case may be).

As I am walking, I eventually end up somewhere, and that somewhere is not a place I really wanted to be. It was a great towering walmart. Now, let me explain a little something about myself....

I don't go to walmart. The place scares the crap out of me. It's big and scary and there are flourescent lights, and it's just the kind of place I don't want to go. The last time I went to walmart (irl) I very nearly got a panic attack as soon as we had made it about halfway through the store. I really don't like that place (or any giant department stores/malls, walmart just seems to generally be the worst though).

Anyhow, as I was saying, I was swiftly approaching the walmart on foot when I found I was holding a strange pamphlet. It had lots of pictures of RV's on them and said that I would be able to purchase a 5 room RV for $1,200. The thing was like a freaking palace. It also inflated into a full house with a garden sometimes, but I forget how you made it do this.

Somehow I purchased the RV and was pretty happy about it. I think I made a bargain with some people saying I would pay them back. They gave me the RV and a $600 gift certificate to walmart that had to be spent within the next hour or it would expire.

I ventured inside of the great fortress, the fluorescent lights were blinding, the store huge, a giant labyrinth of aisles and strange hidden places that I didn't particularly wish to explore. I grabbed a cart. The entirety of the time I was inside the fortress the cart was simply following me and I was not pushing it. This made perfect sense at the time, and in fact I did not pay much attention to it. I kept calling things in French, but it was kind of a jumble. I was really americanizing it all. For example "oh these are pretty tasses." People kept giving me strange looks. At one point I exclaimed out loud, "fuck this shit, I don't care if I don't spend the money, this place sucks," and stormed out the front doors.

I saw a few people I knew in the parking lot. I wanted to show them my RV thinking that I would impress them. I took them inside and the first thing I showed them was that in the main bedroom, if you flipped the bed over it was a giant hot tub. They were not amused.

... the next parts of the dreams were strange, hazy, bizarre and I'm going to have an incredibly difficult time trying to explain just exactly what happened.

It had something to do with Sleeping Beauty and Snow White.

I was with a group of people. We had to go into a cave and rescue/save/defeat something. There were beautiful flowers that were pink and seemed to be made out of glass. I kept picking them up and admiring them.

There was talk of how we must reenact the old stories. Later there was talk of how we were filming a movie.

At one point I walked through downtown Santa Cruz and into a pizza place. There was a large group of people sitting around on bar stools in a circle. I think it was someones birthday. There was someone else with me who had walked in but I don't remember. We all sat down and they all went and sat down at a different table. Me and the other person were left sitting around wondering what we should do. We got up and sat with them and then left because we didn't like the energy.

A lot of other stuff happened but unfortunately it's too hard for me to describe right now.

*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.
