non-lucid

I remember two short dreams from last night, which I guess is pretty good, but I don't think my recall is anywhere good enough to be able to remember the things I would want to do in LDs. I used to have pretty good recall and then summer messed it all up, so hopefully I can refresh myself quickly.

Dream 1: A Tornado
I just now realized I was reading this post by WakingNomad soon before I went to sleep and I'm 100% sure that's where this dream came from.
I was in a car with my mom driving on a curvy road through a dense forest much like you would see in a car commercial. We finally arrived at a beach. There was a big group of people I didn't know there (I often see people I don't know in real life in dreams, but recognize them as generic "friends". These people were generic strangers) as if I was getting dropped of at camp or something. We stood on the beach for a while and then the sky turned greyish yellow.
All of a sudden my mom and I were standing outside a log cabin. We walked in and from the inside it looked exactly like a normal room (no logs or anything). The walls were color changing (white to blue to yellow) and there were a bunch of windows in the room but I don't remember much else about the inside. My mom and I spent a long time looking out the windows amazed at what was happening. There was a storm outside but there was no rain and no thunder. There were clouds and a strange constant sizzling sound coming from the sky. The sky then lit up light a nightlight and a giant grey tornado began moving towards us. My mom said "Hey! Let's get the trashcan!" We ran down a long grey flight of stairs that wasn't there before until we reached a giant trashcan (about 4 times the size of a normal one). I can't remember anything else.

Dream 2: Stationary Store
I was in Osaka, Japan (I recognized one of the buildings) with a generic friend (or I just can't remember who it actually was) and we were standing on a street corner extremely bored. Then I saw what I thought was a Sanrio store behind me. I said something similar to, "Let's go in there, it's less boring." We walked in and it wasn't actually a sanrio store, just a generic stationary store. The lady working there wasn't Japanese either, she was Kitty from That 70s Show. I have no idea what else happened.

What's up yall!
I'm new here and this is my first post.
I thought i could sum up my lucid experiences: first lucid dream, I was playing warcraft (that time i'd play long ours of that game) and while playing i suddenly realized, while trying to read the info on an item, the info changed so i realized it was a dream! Then i dont remember weather I woke up or fell for another dream.
Anyways,
Second lucid dream was awesome. I was reading some sort of manuscript, from a really old paper/papirus-like, and it was like a screen on the tv when e credits go up, and, while the paper would go up on my "screen", there was a female voice whispering the meanings of the manuscript. It was a very strong feeling! Then i suddenly understood it was a dream, and that the message of the lady was very very important to my life, so i started saying to myself: i have to remember this. This is very important! I have to remember this!
But I only remembered the dream, not the message, too bad

Ok so, starting this week, I have the goal of developing the ability of having lucid dreams, and already had two awesome dreams, none of them lucid.

First this week:
I was at a training gymnasium like place. There were two round tables. It was day. People in the round tables, including myself, were practicing levitating small objects, and I was trying to levitate my ex-girlfriend's ring.. When I saw that a friend of mine was also able to do it, I started doing it too!
Then, i was with my kendo teacher: he showed me some moves, threw me on the ground and I slide on the floor for 10-20 meters. Then he threw some other student and himself in the same way

Second night:
I was practicing kendo again, outside, with a lot of people, then in some periods I was wearing my Greek sleep-shoes, some times I wasn't.
So, the teacher showed me that in one movement, I should hit with the sword, and levitate for 1-2 seconds in the air. He and other students showed me how to do it, and I started practicing that.

Just remembered another dream. I was with my ex-girlfriend and deciding whether or not we should get back together or not. Maybe during the dream I realized that was a dream, and didn't have a response whether I wanted that to happen or not!
Note to self: investigate the ex-girlfriend dreams and feelings related to that..

Wish you all a great weekend!

(Note: This dream, was more powerful than any ive ever had at the end, this carried over into WL after awaking)


I Was at a friends party(Long story, different dream), i looked into a picture of a desert and my dream faded, then i was riding my green 250cc ATV through said desert. i remember looking around and seeing mountains in a 360 degree view, but they were far off. I looked back behind me to see a Big blue line crossing the desert some odd 500 klicks off. so i tried to drive my ATV to the line, as i got closer it turns out to be a tital wave. i quickly turn around and drive away. i remember feeling the heat of the sun, and the sting of the loose sand in the air hitting my arms. i decided to practice my wheelies and tried one. I tugged as hard as i could on the handlebars and just fell off, so i quickly got back on and attempted it again. While in motion i pulled the clutch, revved and dropped the clutch and did a wheelie, and held it for 30 or so seconds. i drove onto a highway, in the middle of a desert, i know. i remember seeing a van, and thinking it was my friends, wanting to show off i Did a wheelie past them, my atv was now my motorcycle and i didnt have time to stop at a tollbooth so i drove past it, aswell with one other tollbooth. The third tollbooth i hit, and fell off my motorcycle. The pavement was hard, and unforgiving. police surrounded me and pointed there weapons at me. feeling daring i pulled out a mp5k and shot at a cop on a motorcycle, killing him i jumped on his motorcycle and doging bullets again fell off at the tollbooth. To hell with it i say, and i jumped over the bar. Seeing two vehicles, the cops shot one and it caught on fire, i got in it and drove it back so it wouldnt blow up the other car. Bullets ricocheting all around me i jumped in the car to see someone in the car, bullets stoped so i got out slowly. Only to see this misterious woman, poised on the other side of the cement wall, pointing a pistol at me. All of the sudden this emotion of sadness and pain, washed over me. she crossed over the wall and came closer to me. i slowly reached up to the gun and took it. and set it on the green car i had just exited. i looked into this womans eyes, and saw pain, and hatred. She was suffering, alone and unable to share her feelings. I began to tear up, and i held this woman, i held her tight, and we both cried, i cried harder than ive ever cried, i could feel my heart, and my emotions, better than in real life.

I woke up after this event, crying, and holding my chest, because the pain was still there. i dont know who this woman was but i felt her pain.
i am still feeling the pain, some off 8 hours after this dream

Mars-Base ... Space Soap Opera? ... Nuke the MOON (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Right, so, this dream is long and crazy. I'll piece it together as best I can. The first part involved some unnamed guy having developed, or discovered, a teleporter to and from Mars. It worked very cheaply and harmlessly. This guy and a bunch of his friends are going to and from Mars trying to set up an infrastructure and base there. I tag along at some point to see how it's going, and it looks very much like a town on Earth (with a vaguely Western-movie-style decor, might I add). They already have buildings up, nobody seems to need spacesuits, and they have electricity and computers, and cellphones. And they somehow have a wireless network up for those. That one still confuses me... At some point during all of this, I talk with one of them and they're almost giddy. "The best part of this is," he said, "NASA doesn't know about this yet. Wait till you see the looks on their faces!" Also at some point, they were discussing trying to get some grass planted, and I mused aloud whether it would be cooler to have a lush yard on Mars, or to have that alien-looking red dirt in front of your house. Towards the end, I was telling my friends lightheartedly that they were great and all, but if I could sleep on Mars tonight, I WOULD.

This second part is fuzzy, and I think I'm only an observer. I see short bits of a lot of people's daily lives, nothing too exciting going on. I assume this is on the same Mars-base, but I'm not sure. Somewhere in the middle of all this, there's a military guy that has that "only the audience can hear you" power. He motions to the guy next to him and rattles off a name and designation that I can't remember. Then he says something like, "He seems pretty normal, right? Well, one time I went out with him, and...." He fades out as I see more people going about their daily lives. This was pretty short and disjointed, but I swear it sounds like an ad for a soap opera, looking back.

Finally, at the end, I'm telling my little brother Jared about how you might get some oxygen on the moon... only I use the WORST possible option imaginable! My faulty logic went something like, "Well, if you set off a nuke somewhere on the moon, with all those elements colliding and bouncing around you're bound to get SOME oxygen out of it! Then you just need to place a roof over it..." Yeah, completely worth the total destruction, right? I confuse myself sometimes... anyways, that's all I can remember.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Hey all, I barely had any dreams last night, which sucks. I do remember chopping up some onions... So here comes an old LD I had a few months back, it was one of the first LDs I had in which I didn't wake up immediately.

LD: I'm taking a shower at work, and I don't have any shampoo. I take some from a bottle next to me and do my thing. When I'm finished showering, some guy walks up to me and starts asking me about my education. "What are you studying?" he asks and points at my books. I tell him about it and he walks away. The dream changes and becomes totally random, suddenly I'm having a fight with The DEVIL! I somehow manage to trap him in a pile of coins, and hide them under a bed. I then take a newspaper and put it on top.



"You do realise I will break free as soon as someone remove these coins? He asks in his Devil-voice.

I start thinking about encasing them in concrete and walk outside. I follow a road which leads to an intersection and I time it so that the cars don't hit me. I realise I'm dreaming, and decide to try to jump. I go like ten meters up in the air and land hard on the side of the road, on a small hill overlooking the town. I feel extatic and jump up in the air again. I fly down to the gas station in a few seconds and starts circling it. A few seconds later I'm down on the ground and the dream changes somehow again. Suddenly I'm ontop of the hill again, only this time, a road leads down to a dock filled with dumpsters. "Maybe I should try skateboarding?" I try to summon a skateboard while running but it just won't work! I close my eyes and try again and when I open them, I'm on a skateboard, heading for a big jump. I do the jump and fly several feet up in the air, and do like four spins before I land it. I head for the lake, which is now frozen for some reason, and come to a river. I'm not on a skateboard anymore, but on a surfboard and it's like I'm being dragged by an invisible line. The river changes to a lush jungle with bright yellow bananas on the sides. I can really feel the heat of the sun, and the colours are incredible.



The dream changes but I still manage to keep my lucidity. This time I'm on a cruise ship, and I'm having an argument with myself. In the corner of my eye I see a room filled with porn. "Oh that's right! I gotta try to summon a girl" I start to read a magazine and I can see that they've actually taken those pictures right where I'm standing. The dream starts to fade and I don't get laid.

That's it folks! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. It was sweet.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

(This was a three-part dream from me constantly waking up. I'm going to have to find a better solution for this.)

The first dream involved zombies. Granted, it wasn't a very large zombie area, but I remember that I had to get to something and zombies were in the way.

Very, VERY short. Inspired by all the Resident Evil: Apocolypse trailers I've been seeing everywhere.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was in one of the WTC towers when it was hit by one of the airplanes. I had my golden retriever, Sam, with me, but shortly after that, I saw that everybody was going to lose it. So I shouted, "it's okay. Stay calm, and we're going to be okay. We're going to start taking the stairs outside."

We were on the lower building levels, and surprisingly, everybody did as I asked them too. We all began to walk out of the building calmly, as though we were doing a drill instead of a response to a terrorist attack. My dog was seperated from me, and I wanted to call out his name, panic, and run to him, but I knew I couldn't.

People would freak out if I did. So when I evacuated the building, I wrang out my hands and asked a fireman to help me locate my dog - but Sam came trotting out when I called his name.

I lead him away from the building and towards someplace safer, petting him all the while.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This one was more difficult to recall. I know that I was wondering where the hell something was, and I was helping my friend build something for HIS friend.

I'd met this somewhat cute guy when I woke up. He had a couple of facial piercings, and I remember he said he was on the East Coast (or somewhere close to it).

The dream starts off with me being dropped off - at night - by my parents in a narrow walkway with shop/stall things around the place. The firefighter in charge of me immediately came up and said "Hey, we need you over here." I followed him to a two-level shop that had the top level on fire, and the bottom level full of panicking people.

I grabbed a hose and started spraying into the top windows, when one of the other guys said "Wait, stop for a bit." As I stopped, time paused, and the guy said "Okay, grab the hose and follow us." We walked past the people, and up the stairs at the back. I turned around and sprayed water on all the patches of fire, which looked like little lights. The water froze in mid air while time was paused.

We walked back out and time unpaused. With the fires out all the people were happy that they were safe. I had barely put down the hose I was holding when someone came up to us and said something about the rest of the building. The guy in charge of me told me to follow him, pointing to a door. We went through it and we came out on top of a multi-storey carpark, with the burnt building behind us. There were stairs we could use for a better view, but it was blocked by an elevator lift thing.

It came up and the guy said "Hmm... I'm not sure how to get over there," and I said "We just go through." When the lift door opened, the doors on the other side of the lift opened too, so we walked straight through it, and went up the stairs. We could see the tall building in front of us now, but we looked inside and saw it was just one big room inside, not multiple levels. The guy reported that it's all fine.

Next thing I remember we were driving somewhere, got out and ran for a bit, and got back in and drove away. It was still night time and we stopped.
This part is really weird
I split apart from my body and was standing outside the car. My head was then underwater, and I could also see a cooler bag being unzipped
I woke up :S

I was at my friend's house which was where another friend's house is in real life, and were watching something on TV or talking. I went to the bathroom when the shower suddenly burst on. I desperately fumble with the handles and it eventually turns off.

I go back to the loungeroom just as my friend is going out the door with some other friends. "Aren't you going to Pathfinders?" I say. He says "Nope," and leaves. I look at the time and it's 6:00 pm and the program started 2 hours ago. I went out the garage door, only to be met by my friend's dad who I've never seen before in RL, but may have in a dream.

He gives me advice which I can't remember and then I set off down the street to my church. It's really dark and I start running, as I think there are thugs and bad people who could get me. I eventually reach a tiny set of shops I have to go through, which I have been to before, I avoid cars and people, and make it out the other side.
I wake up

Time to get back to basics for a little bit.

I slept far too long last night, probably about 10 hours. Woke after about seven and didn't remembe much, dozed off...

Dream 1

I got to work an the store had been merged with another store. So now it was twice as big, there was a counter in the middle and on one side was my store and on the other side was some kind of book store/gift store. Run by an Asian girl. I wondered where the other girl was.

I spent ages looking through the books for old Tintin books. I found some that ha never been published. I found one, written by a different author, that was only a few pages long, and kind of bad, but the only one authorised to be written by a different author.

I had to serve someone, for the other store, and had to run it through my computer. It was confusing.

Dream 2

There was a platform, in the middle of nowhere. Surrounded by forest, caves, hills, forest, impenetrable cliffs. It was like a setting from Halo. There were two teams, and we were running around shooting at each other. It went from Halo, to being like a game of paintball. It was like a a mystical sort of place.

I remember hiding in a tent. I ran out shooting, got shot. There was someone (who?) standing at the entrance to a cave, but I couldn't go in.

Dream 3

I was on the phone to Daniel, talking about Shea. I had to go to work to pick up the new Halo game. I took a shortcut. It was a long rolling road, like through a freeway, lots of roads, lots of empty barren land in between, a rolling path criss crossing the country side.

I came to a big cave. I was with two others.

The guy at the counter said, "It's not out yet, I can't sell it to you."

I went through a doorway to their storage area, hundreds of legendary editions piled up. I grabbed one and went back to him. "It is out."

He said, "I hope you guys are right."

And he started calling his customers to tell them it was available. People started coming. I got a text message from Daniel. People were lining up. I got a call from Optus about my reception issues. We followed a path around the outside of the cave, and it came to a huge park area.

The cave, park, green spaces, trees, waterfall, pond, etc. A dreamlike area. I was with Rob and Snowy. There were dinosaurs. It was a Halo theme park. But it wasn't. A huge 3D generated hologram of a flying dinosaur flew at us, out of the sky, and down towards us.

Damn it No lucid 2day.

Dream 1: I am talking about how I want to be in another bus with people. They agree.

Dream 2: Something that had to do with Vincent. I ran after him, just like I did that day.

Dream 3: Amelie buys a new game ive been wanting for a while. Pokemon Mystery dungeon on Wiiware. Epic game coming soon BTW. So she starts playing it and I decide to do the same on the DS. However the plotline has been changed and we have a new partner, Dratini. It soon evolves into Dragonair, but I think it will take a while before it evolves into Dragonite, as it is only level 55. I head into a little shop to store my items and remember my lil sis never does. Then I see an option in the menu to change the clothe of the employees. I press it, but nothing happens. Later, in the Pelipper post office, a pokemon I dont know falls from te sky. It ressembles the Hawain characters in Mario Sunshine.

Dream 4: With Ryan and Sean from Nigahiga, in a pharmacy. I have to kill them because I have to. So I talk to the employee who tells me there is a 80% chance to die when u take double the dose. I take it and bring to the guys who take them happily. But then Ryan walks away and comes back. He is ecstatic, since he gets to play in a movie. I grab a bag of huge twirling candy and have to make out (or try to) so he stops running around. I also think about how in a dream I could swallow my cellphone and text with my mind.

Dream 5: Existing, but missing

Non-dream Dream semi-lucid

ok so i almost forgot about this one, then i went. "Holy hell how COULD you forget this." I think the dream was semi-lucid, because i remember thinking "ohh wow i haven't seen them since high school, i miss them." and i also remember thinking about my actions but I didn't really didn't have total control of myself.

I was walking down the Main road of my home town. I was just outside of then Between the cemetery, and the "Atlas Purina feed Store." when My mother and an hold High School friend Laura showed up. I remember thinking suddenly "Wow Laura! i miss you and your amusing political rantings." They told me I'd be in a figure skating competition. I WISH i could figure skate! that was one of my dreams when i was little, but I ripped the ligament in my right knee. I can even run any more, and i even have a light limp when i walk. I got a little excited since i love figure skating. We ducked into the Atlas feed store, and I took a deep breath. I remember there was no smell. The real Atlas Purina store smelled like Leather, dust, horse feed, and grass seed all mixed into one dreamy aroma. I grabbed my mp3 player out of nowhere, and put it on. I couldn't hear the music, but i know what i wanted to perform. I got dressed, in a white jump suit, with flare/bell bottom legs, and a vest. We then apparently skipped transit and showed up at the competition as if it was an Open Horse Show. Laura was just like "Oi! she's entering btw. K thanks let us know when it's our turn." I looked around, and saw some of the other girls, and the crowed. No one had a face worth remembering, but the commentator on a holographic TV screen. It was my figure skating friend from High School, Connie. I remember relaxing a bit, and looking around at the rink, but it wasn't a rink is was a damn obstetrical course. The rink was in a I shape with two rectangles attached through the center by another rectangle. there was also a couple rust run down trucks in the center that had to be jumped over. I remember thinking "this is figure skating Not Extreme Trail crossed with Cross country!" Laura told me i was next, and took a deep breath. I don't remember putting on skates, but i have them on now. The girl before me finished, and i stood in front of the rink waiting for my music, and then it started. "Jealous of my Boogie by RuPaul" I smiled to my self straightened up, and began to walk! I hit the ice just as the lyrics started, and i began thinking of my routine and as i thought it up, i performed it. Some of the more difficult things were fumbles or even misinterpreted by my body, but I was telling myself what to do. I jumped one car, dropped it like it was hot, while spinning on one leg, and bounded into the air over the second car. It was amazing! and so much fun, but a lot of my moves were on my left leg, or fumbled back i was worried about really fucking up my knee. I finished, and i got some applause as i left the rink. I then met Lynn, and her daughter Kenny. Some dressage folks from the barn i used to work for. They were very smug, and ignored me. I really didn't expect them to be nice so i don't know why i even said hello. My mother was gone, but Laura was there, and she told me I'd done a good job, and we just had to wait for scores. I got a 9.0066 and came in 3rd place! I got a horse book, and a nice big pink ribbon. Lynn and Kenny were very angry at my placing, and don't know why. They didn't even perform, but they didn't matter any way so I made them disappear. They just went poof.

I woke up shortly after that, and I remember smiling. That dream was so fun! I didn't ever truly have control over my self, but what ever i seemed to be thinking in my head would happen to a degree. Like my Performance, and Lynn and Kenny Going 'Poof'.

[edit] the music in my dream sounded as if my head phones were on! i could seriously hear the entire song as I performed my routine.[/edit]

Lucid

Non-Lucid

1.

Kept seeing the same thing in a different way
Fighting over a package
In a queue

2.

In class with 2 friends

3.

Talking about how I should have done engineering.
Building a building
Filling a big hole in
Forgetting about the water pipe
There were weasel like creatures
Blood sucking worms in my shoe
The rest of the community were against me
I ran away
I grabbed a necklace
I got caught, but I looked like someone else so they walked past me although I punched the tracker dog
I met the person who I was mistaken for and she had a bf. He gave her a necklace and off we went

Really fragmented and I missed out on the dream that I had before I awoke which is annoying.

I had a medium-length detailed dream, of which I remember a fragment... it was lunch break at my school, but my school was some sort of residential summer program at some college that had a very environmental campus, incorporating caves into the architecture and stuff... in the restroom, instead of urinals or toilets there was a trough carved out into the dirt which you had to squat over, it was gross... I got lunch from some sort of cafeteria line, it was hot food (prepared), and sat at a table to eat lunch with some IRL friends... they were all only friends who are in a grade above mine, or in college, though, which is interesting... then, end of fragment, I woke up and went back to sleep...

Next dream (this one is short, but I do remember all of it):

I was in the downtown district of a city, walking around outside, when some guy called my cell phone. He used a soundboard of a guy with a synthesized, techno-sounding voice (with beats in the background whenever he talked) to supply his parts of the conversation... classic prank call.

Then I went into a store, and leaned over a mannequin... this lady with black hair in a yellow shirt appeared, who had been prank called too. The guy making the calls appeared as well. They talked, then went into a dressing room to have sex even though the lady was a lesbian (?)... and then the dream ended.

Shoes and Underage Driving

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Fragment:

• Something about taking off and putting on shoes.
• I remembered driving, although I'm only 16. I wasn't very good at it, of course, and having no experience in driving I perceived pressing the accelerator slightly will take me really fast. I remembered me driving my family.
• I also remembered scraping the car against the curb.

Note: I just bought pills that contain 3mg of melatonin and Vitamin B6. I'll try taking them tonight and I'll report tomorrow for some results.

DJ Log: September 09, 2010 – Morning, 4:15AM (USA Eastern)
Text color legend: · NON-DREAM · NOTES · DREAM · LUCID ·

I can't recall the entry point, but I am walking with a couple of people through a sparsely wooded area. My leg is hurt and I can't walk very well. We are crossing a small bridge over a muddy creek bed. I am stopping to sit down for a brief moment because my leg is bothering me. After resting for a bit, we begin to walk around again. There is a long-handled tool (possibly a shovel) laying along the trail. I pick it up and notice that there is something wrong with the end of it. I swing the tool into a tree a couple of times and it passes through the tree as if the laws of physics didn't apply. I became lucid at this time.

While asking myself, “How did I get here?”, the scenery quickly morphs into a very dense forest. The air is filling with sounds of birds and animals. While watching these changes take place before my eyes, I discover a snake climbing up a tree. The snake has smooth tree bark for skin, which flows fluidly from head to tail as the snake moves through the tree. A small monkey is climbing in a tree above and loses its grip, causing quite a bit of commotion. When I hear the sound and look up to see the monkey, the sky changes from dark blue into a plasma-like swirl of intensely bright colors. I lose my balance and stumble while staring upward. This was the dream's exit.
