non-lucid

Writing the title out like that, the dream probably looks a lot cooler than it really was, but oh well. Me and my friend D (who has appeared in my dreams multiple times lately) are programming in Java. I'm doing my own thing, maybe working on a project for the fun of it, or maybe working on a previous assignment. I look over to her screen, and I see that she is working on a really cool program. It's not finished yet, but it has something to do with all of the planets. Each of the planets, though, has it's own special keyword. For example, on the screen, it may have been something like Uranus - Neo, or Mercury - Aqua. That's not quite right, but I thought that it was pretty cool in the dream.

The most interesting part of the dream to me, though, was that I had been programming less than an hour before sleeping. I actually had the conscious thought - 'Oh, I know that our dreams often have to do with what we do in the last hour before sleeping, but I doubt my brain will do much with programming. Well, I guess my subconscious proved me wrong!

Yesterday i dreamed about that my iPod had a crack on the surface over it. I showed it to my uncle. When he looked at it, the crack was beginning to grow more and more. The crack was now like Rorsach face in watchmen, it move around all the time, without any stop. Then I don´t remember any more

Notes:
No, I wasn't lucid at all during this dream, even though it may have seemed like it. I did a rather epic facepalm when I woke up. Not to mention a Lamborghini appeared again, and I just had a dream about one a few days ago.

I was outside. It was the middle of the day so the sky was blue, and there were a few clouds here and there. This particular setting was rather difficult to describe, because it was a mixture of both city and natural elements, but it looked like I was on a very wide high-traffic bridge, above a huge body of water. Under the bridge was an island with tall city buildings.

"Okay dad," I said, turning to my father who was on the side of the bridge. He was looking over the edge and staring at the island not forty feet below, sprawled out under the bridge. He looked at me and said, "so how do you control your dreams?" I thought that this was a difficult question to answer, so I decided to just show him. I told him, "look over the edge of the bridge again".

He obeyed, and I did the same. Then I turned around and saw a yellow Lamborghini Gallardo. It was sitting in one of the middle lanes; cars were moving into each others' lanes to get past it, driving at highway speeds, definitely more than sixty or seventy. The Lamborghini was electric yellow in colour and very shiny.

As we walked towards the car to get inside, it seamlessly changed. The sides of the car shrunk down so they were only a few inches high, curved along the edges, and the top was now gone. Only the bottom of the car remained, along with the wheels and the front part. I got in but although my dad didn't, I started to instruct him on how to control the car (I forget exactly what I said). The car started to drive forward, then, like pulling a joystick, I pulled the wheel back. The car lifted a few inches off the ground, floating.

The bridge, which was originally flat, now had a point where it would start to decline, like a ramp. I pulled harder on the wheel, and the car took off entirely. Some time during the flight, the car changed to a bullet-shaped helicopter; I was in the front part, which was the front of the bullet. The back of the helicopter was flat. The entire vehicle was black and had a large 180 degree window around where I was sitting.

I ignored the fact that my dad wasn't on the helicopter, and kept instructing things to the empty seat beside me. This continued on for a few minutes and, a couple moments after we started to have only water below us, I woke up.

My Mom takes me to Bobae to have a foot message. She says that it will improve my intelligence. They use the messaging apparatus.
9/3/10
I drive myself to Khaoyai in Thailand. Dad tells me the directions before I leave. And if I get lost, "ask." And drive up a freeway and turn left. It's a u-turn and I come to a check point. I am worried that I do not have a car license. From there I go to a shop to buy camping supplies and the employee has curly hair and a black top. My brother, P-1 disappears. So I decide not to buy anything.
Deja vu! The shop scene repeated itself.

I am at a red shirt (political movement) camp. I see lots of people in red shirts, hanging on the underside of a skytrain track. Someone, maybe a red shirt leader tells me, "don't tell any journalists that."
"When attacked, all must retreat!"
I pick up dog plates from outside the house where red shirts are gathering.
Back to the shop AGAIN! I talk to a girl from the movie 'Big Boy' Thai movie. I smell a magnet in the shape of a cap. I say, "my Dad used to like buying these things."
I get a phone call, but don't pick up in time. I look. Not P-1 (who is missing). I browse through my iphone apps.

9/4/10
I burnt down a building. A person was in it. So I buried the person. We go into someone's house to that we think is open to the public. But it's private and the owner tells us. I open a youtube video for the guy who's with me. I open my email instead (autopilot behavior). He reminds me. So I look up a video about ninjas and firecrackers.

I am driving a fold-able truck over a bridge, following some people in another car. The back of the truck keeps dissembling itself. So I got off the driver's seat and go to fix it. The truck rolls backwards and blocking the traffic so I put engage the handbrake.

So, before I start rambling about whatever dreams I may have had last night I'd like to say that... It's very strange. I dreamt of getting a kitten the other night, and yesterday I got two kittens Yay! Dreams=real.
---
Enough of that.

So, dream. Yes. Ahem. Er. Anyway....

It all started out with me in the woods somewhere. There was a house I was supposed to find and I was just kind of wandering around this very sparse neighborhood surrounded by trees. It resembled Felton, that's in California... in Santa Cruz county. Possibly Ben Lomand. Like that. Anyhow, here I am wandering around looking for a house that to my knowledge may or may not exist, and I go finding it. Fancy that. So I find it, stand around outside it for a while, go inside and it's empty. I'm not quite sure if I'm supposed to live there or wait for someone, so I simply wait. And since when you expect that something is going to happen in a dream, it generally happens. D stopped by and we went somewhere.

Next thing I know I'm in a very odd store with D. I say it is odd because they're mostly selling gigantic pans and ice cream cakes. I marvel at their perfect mint chocolate ice cream cake and compare it to the one I made a few weeks ago, wondering how they got the ice cream so perfectly level.

D is admiring a very large pan for fitting a whole chicken in. I note that you could probably fit 50 tofurkey logs inside of it. A boy of about 18 or 19 comes up and they start talking very animatedly about the pan and its many uses. I'm rather bored. I like cooking things in pans, but I don't generally like standing around speculating on pans themselves.

I walk outside and there is a woman in a sleek black car waiting for me. She tells me to get in, so I do.

I vaguely remember someone, possibly while in the car, asking me which route it is that they should take on their journey around the country. I take the map and begin mapping out the route that D and I took last summer. I start it around San Francisco, moving down to Arizona and New Mexico, up to Colorado and all through the states until it swerves around up and down 'til New York. I make a note to stress stopping in Toledo, Ohio. The map seemed to be made of clay and I was simply molding the way there.

So, I'm in the car with the woman. She says she's going to drive me back in Santa Cruz because there are people who would like very much to see me. I look down and realize I'm wearing some cut off shorts that would be perfect for jumping in the ocean.

Driving there doesn't take long at all, and I can see the huge wide ocean approaching swiftly. We're driving on the beach and I press my hands against the glass window, longingly wishing I could jump out and into the water. The woman snaps at me and tells me I can do that on my own time and not when I'm going to get covered in sand and get it all over her nice fancy car. I scoff at this and sit angrily, wanting to jump in the ocean. I never got to. I was bitter.

Last night was the first time I really tried lucid dreaming, but it didn't work. I had a lot of dreams that I half remember about my friends, XC teammates, and the kids I watched this summer.

Managed to salvage a fragment of a longer dream that I awoke too briefly from to hang on to more than a few details. All I remember involved a scene that resembled NCIS wherein there was that kind of office space with a handful of people standing around pretending to be witty until a passive-aggressive, older grumpy guy walked through hastily and told everyone what to do.

I'm quite disappointed I went through the entire weekend without a single good dream to record. Granted I spent most of Saturday and Sunday evenings taking heavy naps and I didn't get much sleep Saturday night...well, now that I put it that way I guess it's not surprising. I want to avoid saying I'm in a dry spell again, but it kinda feels like it.

It wass before school and my brother,his friend, and i went to some random parking lot and found our bikes then my brother said lets not take these they arnt ours then my brothers friend started doing flips over me and my brother decided to take the bikes home then we just randomly ended up at home playing video games and my mom wasnt picking up thphone when gradma kept calling her and i knew it was gradma because it was her special ring tone and my mom wouldnt pick the phone up so on the 15th time she called my brother picked up the phone then i woke up.

It was night time and i was home alone with my dog then my dog wanted to go outside so i let her outside a few seconds later i hear her crying and so i ran outside and there was a cayote corning my dog so i beat the cayote to death before it could harm my dog.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Hello there. I don't recall ANY dreams last night. Maybe it's because I just slept five hours, or maybe it's because I lent my awesomeness to my girlfriend, who knows? Anyways I will give you guys one last old LD. This one's pretty memorable (even though I almost remember them all) and I had no trouble summoning stuff in it. I was supposed to summon a blonde gal, but ended up being a gentleman instead haha!

I'm walking around in a very dark maze and I can feel that I'm starting to lose the dream. I concentrate real hard on the dream and manages to stay in it, perhaps by touching one of the walls. The dream stabilizes and I walk out of the maze and enter a club. I lose my lucidity and I'm standing on top of an escalator with Monica, and the club is huge. To get down we go on a water slide and end up on the dancefloor, which is filled with water. The entire club seems to be inside of a big mall and I'm about to take a couple of drinks from a tray. Monica points out how disgusting the water is and I decide not to. We splash around in the water some then I take her into my arms, and we walk away to another part of the place. "My panties feel wrong" she tells me and I tug on them to correct them. A couple of girls walk by and starts giggling. I get lucid once again, and I put Monica down. "Hey, this is a dream" I say and she asks how I could be so sure. I try jumping and notice that the gravitation is a bit off. I double check my taking a look at a clock on the wall. "Do you wanna fly?" I ask and she nods. I take her into my arms and after a few jumps, we're flying through the mall. From one wall to another we fly and I try teleporting and it works. I fly down a corridor and ask her if she wants anything to drink. She just looks at me and smile. I know what she wants and I snap my fingers. A can of coke appears in my hand and I give it to her. A second later I realise she prefers it in a bottle, and with another snap of my fingers, I'm holding a glass bottle. We fly into the main hall again and land in the newly created V.I.P section. We've got a large table for ourselves and I ask her if she wants anything to eat. "Hmm, I want fish" she says and I turn my back on the table and try summoning different dishes of fish. When I turn around, there are plates with fish everywhere. We start eating some fried fish with potatoes and I start to wake up

Well that's it, man it sucks to not get enough sleep...

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

Mathematics Fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Listened to an audio aid repository for half an hour before going to bed. However, I didn't get any lucids and recall was horrible.

Fragment:

• I was taking the Mathematics Preliminary Exam in school when I realised I forgot to bring the construction set. Worried, I flipped through the paper to check for any construction questions and there were a quite a number of questions worth a lot of marks.

Didn't post yesterday cause I had a school cross country meet, its fine b/c I also had to get up early for it which meant zero recall (I didn't have time to write in my DJ and forgot whatever I may have remembered).

This morning was an entirely different story.

First thing I remember is a fragment from what I know was a much larger dream... a golden penis.

That's it, lul. Moving on.

Next dream was a natural LD. I was a Jedi hunting a fleeing rogue Jedi through the wilderness. I ended up in the bay of a starship, whose inside seemed a bit like a French kitchenware store. I had fun using telekinesis to levitate and rotate plates and cups and stuff, much to the entertainment of my DCs. One DC was my nemesis... she was another Jedi, she carried a five-pronged lightwhip (like a ninetails but with 5 tails that all had knots on the end with metal around them from which a lightasaber blade could emerge) whereas I had only a one-pronged lightwhip (just a whip with the thing at the end). Suddenly, my telekinesis abilities all but disappeared. The most I could do was make a champagne glass wobble slightly. It happened to all of the other Jedis on board (DCs) too... like someone had flipped on a Force-jammer or something. I performed the hand RC to bolster my confidence in the fact that it was a dream, but even when it failed, all of my will still wouldn't't make stuff move more than a wobble. Then I went down some hatch doors with two male DCs and played out a real-life version of Star Wars Battlefront, moving through a labyrinth that was down there and killing droids and Jawas and stuff, when I cleared the stage the dream ended.

I'm very displeased with this dream and mad at myself because I neglected to do any of my current lucid goals (Task of the Month, Serial Dream RPG, find a certain DC, try to dreamshare with my friend, etc...), I didn't even bother to try and remember any of them

Anyways, next dream... I have all the details written but I'll summarize it since time is not on my side tonight.

My grandparents were with me and my family in the car, we drove up to this weird constant wave off the coast, then we all went to the shopping district of the city we were in, my grandpa thought I had a sore throat so we teleported to what was apparently his apartment and he gave me this nasty gooey yellow cough drop which I refused, then told me how he had some other cough drops that he had been saving for 10-15 years, then the dream ended.

And that's all for now... I'll go to bed as soon as I post this, and hopefully get some good material for tomorrow.

I started off in the driveway at my fathers, with my dad standing next to me. My stepmom pulled up riding a gray Yamaha R1. It was slightly damaged like it had been down one on each side at low speeds. I got on to ride around the block and see how it rode. It was very uncomfortable at first, then I didn’t notice it anymore. As I was going around the block, people were everywhere, and “someone” told me they were looking for a Rottweiler that got loose. I saw the Rottweiler in a yard but for some reason the people couldn’t see it.

As I was riding, the road changed to roads I have never been on. They were curvy, mountainous roads. I got to a security checkpoint which was in a small square building. What I didn’t realize at the time of the dream was while I was in the checkpoint (yes, in a building), I was no longer on the bike. Instead I was waiting in a long line. All of a sudden time flew by and I was back out on the bike, riding down a long road. I realized I couldn’t see anything, because it was all of a sudden the middle of the night and my lights no longer worked.

I decided to keep going cause I figured I could see enough (could barely see the outline of the road) and ended up sliding out around a curve in front of a car. The car drove by without any problems and I was unhurt. I got back on the bike and started back towards the checkpoint, trying to get home. When I got to the security checkpoint, they wouldn’t let me through since I had no headlights and no taillights. I begged for them to let me through to go back home. I then woke up.

My first dream journal, hoping to eventually get to lucidity.

Got most of my stuff packed up today. Just clothes left, mostly.

09/12/10



I'm filming a documentary about the variety of religious beliefs in our culture. My invisible cameraman and I are set up near a bus stop. I interview people and ask them to talk about their beliefs on camera.

One young woman wants me to come to her evangelical, ultra-conservative church to film and meet her minister/pastor/reverend. While this probably is a golden opportunity for me, I really don't want to go. Absolutely nothing in this scenario could possibly end well.

The woman turns into a girl I knew in high school, someone I barely ever talked to. We're going on a road trip through the US, and I'm consulting the GPS on my cell phone.

I'm walking through an airport.
