non-lucid

I hang out with a girl whom I havn't seen since a couple of years back, Julia. We´re in an urban environment and we seem to get on pretty well with each other. She looks just as good as I remember, tall, fair and well shaped! Her mother works in a small store along one of the streets we're walking on so we decide to visit her. She start talking with her mother and they end up arguing over some money issues. The mother tries to give Julia som economic aid but she refuses to take them and starts to throw the bills out in the streets, even the high-value ones! I find this a bit unneccessary but I dare not to intercept since I'm afraid to end up in a fight with my newly found date.

I return to a city on a night bus, it's some kind of mixture of my home town and my university city. Sara R. from my uni class is with me on the bus. When disembarked, I go to a small crib somewhere in town and find my dad right outside the flat by his car, utterly surprised to see me. It's still nighttime.

The world was flooded. I was turned into a half shark monster. This was after being in a fight with two of these 'monsters', there was also a female friend with me. I got 2 knives and killed one whilst my friend killed the other but not before i had 'turned'. I was still in control of myself. We moved onwards with an amphibious vehicle. We came to a bay with a lot of shark-like creatures. I jumped in with a light and started killing them all.

Hey all, I have just started this so it's a little bit incoherent.

Lucid
Non Lucid

dream recall is improving Also, fairly vivid colours and scenes due to WBTB at 4am.

Throwing blue smoke at an invisible person so [we?] can see him (and kill him??)

Baby sitting a 3 year old boy. He shows me a doll in the mirror that isn't there in real life. It is ugly as hell and is wearing a yellow dress. I grab it out of the mirror and squeeze it.

Leaves, cherry picker, 4wd, gutter

Running up many stairs in an outdoor tower/fort. running past backpacks which I know are useful. Possibly on a team with some people. Getting attacked by some brightly coloured animal with small pteradactyl wings [dog? jackal?]

maze building dark, fire torches

A little bit better of a night of dreaming. I got two decent recalls and I suppose that aint too shabby in the long run. Here they are:

I am witnessing this dream in 3rd person. There is this woman and she's a new employee in some sort of office environment. Everyone works at computers and I THINK it's some sort of call center. Anyways. She's massively disrespected by this one guy who seems to be the leader of the group. He's almost 30 years old, I remember him saying, and pretty disappointed with his life. Anyways. this dude is sort of a dick to this woman but she wants to be the best so she doesn't just give up. There's some sort of competition coming up, I'm not sure what they're doing, I just know that the man has a day or two head start on her because he cheated somehow. Somehow she evens up the score and manages to catch up. And then I flash forward in the dream to find out that the woman was tricked AGAIN and somehow still lost.

And then I'm in another dream. I work for some sort of grocery store but my shifts are awesome. I only work for a few hours every day and then I go to school. But my "school" is the same hours my REAL LIFE work is. Anyways I'm at work for some reason and I'm discussing hours with my manager. She looks like Sarah from Super Valu (my first job) and she's describing that somehow my hours got switched around and I'm allowed to take off whenever I want today. I appreciate that and decide to myself that I'll cut out about an hour early to give me time to eat a nice breakfast before school. For whatever reason I now am taking a tour around the store with Sarah in tow and we're going through all of these different meat sections and I'm describing them to her. We come across an aisle dedicated to already cooked bacon (that isn't in a package) and it's just hanging on different hooks. We do the same for turkey and ham, as well.

I hope I'm getting closer. Those two dreams were more vivid than I typed out but I, of course, was typing from a shaky memory as they were delayed recalls. Tonight I ate some banana before I hopped into bed and I'm taking my RCs more and more seriously. Hopefully this pans out some.

Blast those dancers! (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had an odd night. I woke up a few times and dreamed odd stuff. I had a lucid. It was about time. I had been 4 days with no lucids.

Third:

I had a few things to do. I grabbed my car and I drove somewhere. I was waiting for my wife until I saw something odd and I decided to RC. I had six fingers. In addition, my fingers were small, smaller than usual, like half their real size.
As usual, I took flight to steblize the dream. I have been flying for a while. My lucidity was not great because I did not start a certain task like I always do but I followed the flow of the dream.

It was day and I was flying over downtown. I saw several skyscrapers and a few parks. I started to hear music. I found very disturbing that music and I remembered that it was the same music I heard while I was working at the Olive Oil store in the past. It was the dancers! I said to myself that it could be cool to blast them off, but I did not find it very important.

I landed close to the place were I heard the music. I was walking around downtown and it was pretty empty. I saw a couple DC and ask them if they knew where the dancers were. They indicated me. I saw some buildings. Those buildings were recalled from one of my childhood neighborhoods.

I took flight again and saw the dancers from above the sky. I tried to create an energy blast to throw it at them. I did not feel like I attempted really hard, so I failed.

I landed inside the room where the dancers were. It was like a ceiling-less bar location. I saw several tables around and a few DC, but not many. I was suddenly in another location and I was totally into the dream. I cannot remember this part well, so I am sure I lost lucidity at some point. I had some chit chat with this DC and we flew once more to the place where the dancers were. This guy had a lighter and some alcohol plus some paper. As I could not blast them, I though in making a fireball. I was worried if I was going to be busted and go to jail. I remembered I was dreaming and nothing could happen. I threw a few fireballs (made with the paper and lighter, not with my own powers) and threw it to the place. A fire started and everyone fled. I asked to the DC if the police would guess who it was and he said they would probably do.

I had a False Awakening in my room and I was next to my wife. She was waking me up because the clock was ringing. I wondered if what happened was real or not. I woke up for real.

Missed dream signs:
- Unknown.

Noticed dream signs:
- Something odd.

Reality check performed:
- Hand check (failed. Turned lucid)

My droid phone was a worm pet! (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had an odd night. I woke up a few times and dreamed odd stuff. I had a lucid. It was about time. I had been 4 days with no lucids.

Second:

I was playing a odd version of Worms Armageddon. The version was more colorful than the real thing. I played terribly bad. I hit the water with one of the worms while on the ninja rope and it died. When I attempted to try again, I fell from the roof to the water and lost another worm.

I had a worm pet inside my droid phone. My wife was afraid of it. I would put my droid phone on her hand and it would not move. I placed it on my hand and I could hear a female laughther and I felt tickling. The worm was moving and playing in my hand.

Missed dream signs:
- The whole dream... It was nonsense.

What I would have done if lucid:
- Head for a ToTY.

Type: regular dream.
Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

I was in my living room, properly lit from an unknown light source. The room was shaped like a pretty thick "L", with white walls, wood molding along the bottoms of the walls, and shiny dark brown hardwood flooring. There were two windows along the longer wall of the room; both had the same type of wood for borders as the molding along the floor. There was a pale red leather couch in the corner of the room on a diagonal, it would only seat one person because of its size. There was a small square-shaped, modern two-drawer wooden cabinet along the wall opposite of the chair. In the middle of the room was a coffee table with modern brass legs and an oval-shaped glass top.

The rest of the room was empty, except for me and a friend of mine. I knew her in real life. We had just walked into the room and she looked at me expectantly. Although I wasn't lucid, I suddenly got the idea to teach her some dream skills. "We're dreaming, did you know that?" I asked her. And she answered, "really?"

"Yes. Want to learn some cool stuff?"

"Sure."

"See that table?" I said, pointing to the coffee table, "look away from it." She obeyed and I continued to instruct. "Now, think of a package of candy. Expect it to be on the table as you turn around, visualizing it fully." At this point I was facing her and not the table. She turned around and walked towards the table; I looked at it and there was a few balls of chocolate on it. She picked one up and ate it. "Yum."

Where the heck was my awareness?

September 2nd: I was in an apartment room that was mostly brown (like light brown walls and brown couch) with some other teenage kids that were slightly larger than an average teen (in weight) they appeared to have some metal band t-shirts on that i don't remember. but two of them held mtn dew distortion in 2 liter bottles one of the kids had cargo shorts that were dark blue and he had long, frizzy, brown hair. I asked them where they got it from. and then i thought about how i would get to the store, even though i never been to the neighborhood i was thinking of.

phase 2: I was at a hotel swimming with a group of people in what appeared to be a normal indoor pool. but the ceiling was at least 20ft up the room felt massive. but at one point it was apparently a girls only swim so I swam to an area of the pool that inclined down and went underground. i followed it slowly and it lead to the boys locker room. there were people obviously changing. I went up to a locker and stared at it for a second. (the room was pinkish and had green lines on the wall) I then walked back and went through the otherside of the locker room and went through a short circular water tunnel. It had lead me to a huge set of ivory stairs and some form of wealthy congregation at the bottom on the stairs headed to the left. I knew it was a wealthy event because of the area and the clothes people wore like dresses and suits. I remember one young woman that had brown hair and she wore a silk silver dress that shined lightly she had a fit figure as well. I decided to head to the Right. on the right there was an incline to another area; there was also a white overpass that had stairs on both sides up high as if it were a bridge to somewhere else in the hotel. I kept walking the incline and as soon as i got up I saw a purple and orange sky which seemed very surreal i then got up and saw an above ground swimming pool that was also in ground because it was cemented in. there was a lounge area with tables and umbrellas and then also a bar. the floor was tiled in a checkered form(not fully but sort of) I think. I stood by a guy I did not know at the pool Then apparently over in the lounge section there was a man in a suit that killed another man by breaking his neck. the dream then transitioned to the next phase

* note phase 2 and 3 went together sort of
phase 3: the next phase introduced the people who were wanted by showing their faces the only memorable figure was the girl who had stolen black goggles and had done something else. it showed her (she had brown slightly wavy hair and a nice body. i thought she was hot until later.) wearing black goggles and she had picked her nose randomly. it then switched to her wearing white shades in the sunny daylight, then the sight of vision moved and it paned in on a pool there were the three of the criminals playing a game with inner tubes to get the inner tubes farthest in the amoeba shaped pool. The day was sunny and i stood and observed until pool goers got pissed at the criminals and then a white lawn chair with purple stripes was thrown into the pool. i dove in and went under the chair. apparently one of the bad people in the trio jumped on the chair and i felt the pressure of his weight on my back i didnt wanna die so i fought back but eventually I woke up

My grandma's after me. Both scary and disturbing. I fight her off in my garage (or atleast try to) while im waiting for my buddy Arnold (my partner from a past dream ). She evens tries ruse to fool me. As she walks away, she offers me food. Its probably poisonous, and I see right through it. I tell her and she smiles. Creepy

I think I failed an RC. Not sure. But I was on the street until I went: Wait a minute, how did I get here? I didnt take the bus! Did I RC? Maybe. But im absolutely sure I did not become lucid.

My dream have been pretty short, boring and similar lately. I keep having school dreams, which I find pretty boring. It's hard to keep journalling when the results are so poor for so long. Anyway...

Dye Your Hair FFS

I was walking to a class at the secondary school I attended. I saw H, except her hair was red. She said hi and pointed out this girl to me and said she had said that she knew me. The girl had grey hair and I didn't recognise her at first because of it, but it was L. I was a bit confused, but before I could really question anything we were in class.

I was in my old Geography class room except doing Maths. There was a diagram on a piece of paper of a circle that was divided up, it wasn't clear to me. I felt really confused. L came and sat near me and smiled. She said she'd help me out because I looked really confused. It was bugging me constantly that her hair was grey.

How Can "She" be Your Boyfriend?

I was at the local post office. I was asking the woman serving there where the attractive woman who used to work there had gone. She said she had quit. She then told me that the other woman was her boyfriend. I was pretty confused...

Ants! (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was inside my house, at the big window downstairs. My mother was in the room too. I looked outside and saw some small ants crawling between the stones. They were pretty big, but not immense big. There were a couple of ats in a row going between the stones of the ground and the last ant was the biggest. I was very afraid. I went to the other room and looked out the window. The ants there were even bigger, they were almost a meter big. i was even more afraid now, and i was crying. I told my mother that I was afraid. The ants were actually crawling between the surface and under the stones. then I saw shark-like fins coming from between the stones. It had the color of the ants. They went around the stones and when they went around a stone it fell down in a void below the ground. That is when i really became afraid and constantly started panicking. I kept saying to my mother: Mom help they are sawing the stones out of the ground! Then my mother woke me up. It was fun to have the dream because it was vivid, it was a good dream.

09/02/10



I pull myself out of bed, even though I really don't want to. I'm tired, and miserable, and everything's just a bit blurry. I drag myself into the kitchen and sit down, staring into space. Really, this whole thing seems a little... off.

I hold up my right hand. "Two, three, four, five, six." Seems normal. My hands are leaving little motion paths behind them, just like they would in a dream. I dismiss the phenomenon, though. The paths aren't distinct enough to really be noticeable.

Never mind that I'm sitting in the back-room kitchen of the motel my grandparents used to own. Never mind the fact that my grandma sold this place years ago.

I feel shadows forming in the corners of my mind, indicating traces of worm-like creatures on the verge of existence in the other room. I go still. If this was a dream, I could deliberately induce a nightmare. That would be fun.

Maybe I am dreaming. I'm standing behind the glass doors to the patio, looking out over the lawn and the pine trees planted around the perimeter. There's a bunch of things I could be doing if this was a dream.

I hold up my left wrist and bite down on the skin there. I catalogue my reactions. No pain, which doesn't strike me as strange, not really, because I can feel my teeth and lips on the skin there.

I'm tired.

End recall.

Night 1

I had a dream a boring one for that matter. The dream was that I was on the internet and was on this forum and there was a debate going on about how one N.F.L player was better then the other pretty much trolling comments and shit. I woke up and looked at the clock did a RC nothing I was a awake. I went to the bathroom came back fell asleep but like 5 minutes into trying to fall a sleep I felt SP coming up. I was shocked I wasn't expecting this well anyways I went along with it and it was working. But it failed soon after because I was to awake and my body woke itself up. I finally fell asleep and had a another boring dream. I was at school and we were being given a essay and to leave the class you had to right a 10-page essay. I should have woke up the second I heard the teacher say 10 page which is too much. Well everyone was finishing the essay and I guess I was the proof reader for the teacher or the kid who collects the paper. Because everyone but mostly these three girls were giving me their papers. I kept rejecting there papers and saying the had to right a full page on each side. They were getting mad and I was getting anxious on when I was going to leave and that's when I woke up.

2 story lines in which I was able to re-enter.

A Close Game (non-lucid)

The top of the first inning we are on the field. I am in the outfield but we've got an extra fielder. My teammates make a lot of errors but I make 2 diving catches. The pitcher strikes a guy out. They score 7 runs.

My first at bat I get a single and the runner in front of me steals so I steal. We score a few runs.

I make another diving catch.

My next at bat some fat kid tries to bat instead but I tell him to get lost. I take it to a full count, foul one with a defensive swing and get walked. The coach spits in my path so I stare him down. We close the gap, 7-5.

Frags:

1. The other storyline is the collapse of America or something. The wealthy elite jump ship. There aren't even police. Just chaos. I am in some rural area. Some women is attacked by thugz and she tazes them. She runs when she sees me. A car chase with the one sheriff, he hits my car and knocks it into some water. "New American Republic"..."Press Start" I saw. Like is was a video game.

Dream Date: 5/8/10
(This dream was from a few months ago...)

8:30 - awake and said goodbye to my Fiance, who is leaving for the day..
9:30 (ish), laid back down to rest.

Blue = Dream
Red = Lucid Dream - level 1
Dark Red = Lucid Dream Level 2 - The OBE

As I drifted off, dream-like visions faded in very quickly (not typical dream cycle, this happened within 10 mins of me lying down)...early on, there we 2 guys conversing, the exact subject I can't remember, but their whole conversation was very clear at the time. Eventually I was 'dreaming' that I was at work, in class, but we needed to pull a girl from another class to help out. I was walking around looking at student's computers and their work...up to this point, it was very much like a dream...I was merely a passenger to wherever my dreams would take me. Then suddenly I was very aware of the moment, and I could feel first hand everything that was around me. I turned to the girl and said quite normally "It's pretty bright in here" (and it was, all of a sudden. Blindingly so.... and I squinted my eyes to see)...she asked me to repeat myself, and as I started to speak again, the sound of my own words blurred and faded out, as if time was slowing down, and without any control over what was happening (but yet, I WAS the dream body) I began to slip away, as if I was suddenly passing out. There was a moment of concern, but it felt peaceful and i didn't offer resistance. My consciousness shifted "inside of myself" (myself being the dream body), but could feel the 'dream characters' hovering around my 'dream body'. I was aware of everything - that my 'real body' was lying in bed, safely harboring a 'dream' of my second body, which had gone into a deeply vivid 'dreaming' state', in which I was extremely lucid, and could use that second level of dreaming to host my "lucid dream". This was different than a lucid dream though...it felt more like an out of body/lucid dream hybrid. I felt my consciousness 'physically' leave my dream body, and my 'real body' and I was moving around the room (a little clumsily, but I had some control over it nevertheless.) I remembered that in an OBE you can turn and see yourself...I could not. I tried, but...controls were difficult, and I was in someone else's room. It was a child's room...almost everything was white - white bed, with white ruffled comforter, white walls, and sun shining in through windows adorned in white. There was a Winnie The Pooh doll in the room...I never owned Winnie The Pooh anything, so i knew right away this was night my room. I continued to "stumble" around (I was floating, not walking)... the room changed, and it felt more like the room my 'real body' was in...I saw and felt the door, and somehow managed to open it, but the other side was not a hallway like I expected, its...Another door i believe. Or rather, a door warped strangely, like 2 wooden doors that had grown together...somehow. There were many illusions. I decided I wanted to see if I could find my fiance. I found myself at a place that almost resembled a night club, and i was higher up looking down at the people that were there. I moved over the reception area to the main room and found my fiance standing talking to friends. Soon my legs were wrapped around him from the side, and I was stroking the back of his neck, and hugging him. I had resumed my 'dream body' at this point, so I could feel him, 'physically'. He was not aware of my presence...(note: I was not seeking him out within a dream, I was seeking him out in "reality"...so I believe if this was merely a lucid dream, I would only be able to find him within a dream (his 'dream body' manifested by my mind). But since this was more of a Lucid Dream/OBE hybrid, I had a link to the 'real world' and could seek out his 'real body'.

Interestingly, before I woke up earlier this same morning, I had been dreaming of a very "Alice in Wonderland" type world. But the world began to break apart, with nothing but darkness surrounding the stepping stone pieces of the "reality environment". We were hopping on, from one piece to the next, as the world broke apart. Between 2 pieces, there was a sort of vortex, that one of the dream characters I was with said was (a worm hole or black hole, I can't remember which ).

Sidenote: I did happen to watch some videos on wormholes before bed, which definitely influenced this dream?
