non-lucid

Exceptionally fragmented:

- Was an astronaut. I went in space. I repaired the ship. There were photo's of the outside____.

I remember waking up, writing my dream down in those exact words then going back to sleep - I don't think I can remember the dream though.

Random question:

How do you guys recall your dream>? I mean, do you do it as soon as you wake up (if it's the middle of the night) or as soon as you get up (i.e. in the morning).?

september 3 :attacked by a giant african bug that was aparrently lethal there was cacti and jack matos (and he looked like his kid version) in the dream. the sky seemed to be at dusk or sunset. the atmosphere was desert like and hilly.

I was sitting around a long rectangular table with heaps of people. One of the ends was just to the left of me and a blonde girl was sitting there. She was speaking some simple Mandarin but I couldn't understand very much of it. The way she was saying it to us it was like she was showing off. And when she said something everyone kinda looked at her while she said it, were like "wtf we can't understand this" and then continued back to their normal conversations.
I remember that she said something that I DID understand, and replied back to her and she didn't understand me lol.
Then she said some sentence and I recognised one of the words out of it (a word that was said several times in the sentence).
I had to ask someone what that word, "zhou", meant. I can't remember what the definition was, but I was like "oh yeah! as in Ao Zhou (which means Australia); why didn't I guess!?"
I can't remember much else from here.

Creepy dream:
I was in some small, poor village in some European country. People were getting hungry and the only food we had were corn crops. The other type of crop we had, wheat, had run out because the farmers hadn't replanted it that year. The corn crops weren't going to be enough to survive.
Standing in the kitchen with a friend (I don't know who), we realised that people were invading our village.
My friend and I ducked down behind the kitchen bench. There were quite a few knives on the bench so I grabbed some for us for defence. I had to pick and choose between them to try and get the sharpest ones.
I noticed some guy enter the house behind the kitchen bench. After waiting for 10s or so, I decide to take attack first and lunge upwards towards his neck with my knife. It slashes his throat and puts him in enough pain for us to run away.
{Memory loss here}
Next thing I remember, I was running away with the friend and someone was coming after us. I decided to go at them. We were battling with kitchen knives lol.
Next thing I remember I had somehow killed the guy, and I remember feeling so horrible about it. But I was telling myself that I had no other choice, that it was either my life or theirs. I remember feeling how I could die at any moment now because of the people raiding the village.
Too bad I didn't do a RC xP

This is a theme that appears frequently in many of my dreams; Jurassic Park. Being a big Sci-Fi, I like watching Jurassic Park movies. Obviously, they've become a major part in my dreams. The fact that I'm interested in Paleontology has made this theme occur even more. Since I'va had so many dreams that I can't really remember any one of them, here's my most recent one that I had about three months ago.

It started with me and many of my classmates crossing wooden logs above a swamp (filled with vicious Compsonagnthus and Deinonychus) in a sort of puzzle way. We would have to balance each log out by placing a certain amount of people on each side in order to get to the next log, until we finally got out of the swamp area.
Now that I'm out of the swamp area, all of my friends have disappeared.I'm now with my sister and father. We see the swamp area behind us, as if everything that just happened with me and my classmates actually happened with me and my two family members. This only further contributes to the entire videogame theme within this dream. So, my father, sister and I continure into this odd box canyon with a cliff in the center. On the cliff is a large cage with a roof, almost resembeling a bird cage. We walk up this ramp carved out of rock that's about a forty-five degree angle off the ground. Up inside the enormous cage are a family of Styracosaurs. We examine them for a few moments before heading down the ramp. Of course, down below is a Giganotosaurus standing there watching us. We quickly run over to some kind of maintinence building along the cage fence and hide inside. We can see the therapod outside trying to kill us, but he is unsuccessful. After that, I remember us somehow getting home, and then the dream ends.

It all starts with an intro, very movie-ish, about how a radio-active fish contaminated something (plant?). When I enter this huge deserted place with a pool and my friend Alex whos a half-man half-fish dude, I immediately grab a piece and eat it. Im not stupid after all. I discover that these artifacts are scattered a little everywhere, and decide to search for them. These seem to give me the power they are associated with. I imagine myself possesing every one of these. I would be the ultimate entity (name of entry ). A mix of vampire, bear, fish along with other stuff I forgot . Kick-ass. I also need to find the human one cus, well, I also want to turn back into a human eventually. In the trunk of a big truck a man tells me not to transform in front of the villagers, which kinda makes sense I need to find the human one next, but I cant recall actually finding it. I do remember getting the vampire artifact. In a huge, grey, metal kitchen, a massive pie is in an oven. It suddenly catches on fire. An old woman takes out the pie which is not even slightly burned and I think: Awsum, I found the Vampire one . Also, a little wheel with different buttons with symbols on it represent the ones I found. When it lifts up, I got it. Sort of difficult to explain, but its very clear in my head. Like the paw symbol is the bear, the boot is human, ya know. Finally a dream interesting enough I actually feel like writing it. It has a decent storyline, which I appreciate

I was walking down a city block among strangers, I was walking with my younger brother.

Suddenly there was a tiger across the street, people were running from it. I backed away, only to notice another tiger (this one albino) just up the street (around the corner) from me. My brother almost barreled right into it. The first tiger wasn't moving, just watching everyone. My brother was backing away slowly from the second. The two tigers went to each other and everyone began to depart as quickly/inconspicuously as possible. I was slowest, and the white tiger began pursuing the crowd again, in a slow, loping manner. I watched it side-long, willing it not to approach me, but it did.

Suddenly it was right in front of me (I was backing away somewhat). A feeling of peace came over me, and I reached out to pet it. I did, and almost immediately it bit my hand. I felt a dull crack and the onset of pain (it felt more like pins and needles). People were screaming. I didn't feel particularly scared, but I was slightly worried I would pass out: my head was feeling very... thick? Full of pressure. The white tiger was just looking at me at this point. The whole situation felt very ambiguous, as far as how it would proceed/end (my dreams usually tend to feel like they're approaching some inevitable close). I passed out and woke up.

There were a lot of events prior to this incident, but I've forgotten them all over the course of the day. I've been getting back into dreams lately, my dream recall has spiked significantly and quickly.

I am in some kind of cross country race through town. I am coming second. I am unfit to the power of ten so I found this amusing when I woke up. The race finishes at the pines. My old year adviser is at the finish line. I get reprimanded for being unprofessional and squirting water at other competitors (which I didn't do)

At my house. Girlfriends car parked on the front lawn. It's night time and I notice The back window is cracked. I go to inspect it when I am attacked by an old lady I don't recognize. She has a big steel knife and is taking swings at me. I retaliate by pulling a big f-off sword from nowhere that looks like a monster sized version of her knife and start swinging at her, but all I can cut is her hair.

In an old barn that feels familiar and mine although it isn't recognized. Younger step brother has decorated the roof with crappy skate graphics and glow in the dark paint

[Nightmare] Night-time, running

Dream recall is improving, especially when I write it down in between dreams.

I forgot most of my dream before this but what I do remember is being in a room with a bunch of soldiers. I was with my sisters and the soldiers were shooting at us, except for a few which appeared to be on our side. We ended up hiding behind some crates and we made some bombs, but I kept forgetting to light the fuses before throwing the bombs. Somehow I got a gun and I used it to shoot the guy that had been shooting at us, but strangely he doesn’t die. I’m confused by this and angry so I shoot him again twice and he still doesn’t die. The man then starts to get up and move towards a different gun so I shoot him a few more times, which makes him fall over again. To make things even more confusing the man doesn’t even seem to be angry or sad that I’m shooting at him. The man even seems to be mildly annoyed that I’m shooting at him or bored so he says “You know I’m probably just going to bleed to death so you can just stop shooting me and leave”.

Shooting the guy didn’t seem to be doing anything so I just listened and left. I went to some weird abstract room after this with ribbon like roads floating through the air. I don’t really remember anything else after this.

It was sometime in the afternoon, when the sun just starts to go down.

I was on a sort of island, thickly laid with trees and a sandy beach, rocks, and docks for boats that floated on the surface of the water. In one part of the island, on the outside, was a cove with light, fine sand. There were palm trees all around the shore of this area. There was a small beach house that was made of wood; it looked slightly broken-down. It had the same appearance as the following picture, but it wasn't as colorful and there wasn't any rock dividers in the water.

In the middle of the water, there was an amalgamation of water slides, all curving around a piece of flat square wood that was suspended above four square wooden pillars. The structure was like a tall table with the water slides snaking around it.

I was initially in the water (unsure of how deep in it I was), and the next moment I was right on top of the wooden structure. There were three water slides I could choose to go down, each on different sides, and all of them were blue. I went with the one on the right, because it looked like the largest one. Who knows how I knew that, because I couldn't see the rest of any of the slides. I went down and I was now surrounded by a tube of thick plastic, or whatever water slides are made of. It was the normal size of one, too; not too tight and not too large.

A few moments later, the slide must have gone under the surface of the water, because I was now totally consumed by water, still going down the slide at regular speed. I took a big breath right after I went under, and held it for at least a minute. The slide twisted and turned, all the while it still being full with water, and then spat me out onto the surface of the water. I didn't understand this, because the only direction it went was down, and didn't go up again. If I went under the surface of the water, how could I have ended up above it again?

I'm on a scaffold next to a roof, scooping leaves out of the gutter. I scrape the soggy mess away from the shingles and into the eavestrough, then pull it all out. The leaves disappear at this point. There's nowhere to put them.

I'm moving slowly from left to right, caught up in the mindless task. The dream is pleasantly hazy and restful. And then... the roof falls away.

I'm left looking at a collapsed section of the roof. It leads down to a shallow pit filled with tar. The wind stirs up a bit, and I remember that this was the center of a huge mystical battle. Many people died. The rumours say that it's haunted, but no one wants to believe that. For a loved one to be trapped as a ghost is one of the worst experiences imaginable in this world.

A glint of red catches my eye. The sun lights up the crevasse, showing a red-haired woman standing quietly. Her hands are folded in front of her. She stares ahead with a blank expression.

A man comes over from where he's been working on the roof, probably wondering why I've stopped. He's physically imposing, in his late 40s at least, and he's wearing an eyepatch. When he sees the ghost in front of him, he goes very still.

I can feel his sadness.

I wake up.

Scare Factor: 2/10
Rating: 4/10

The ghosts were most definitely inspired by the Felix Castor book I'm reading right now.

P.S. I'll be gone for the weekend. If I have any interesting dreams, I'll keep track of them.

I'll make this quick. I met this chick at Sheetz and got her number. She was in my dream.

Teleport to Island (non-lucid)

The beginning is fuzzy. I was traveling down a long a lonesome rural road. Something happened. I had no car. There was this zipper-like 2D obstruction in space-time. Purple and blue swirling inside of it. I jumped into it.

I am teleported to some sort of tropical island.

I walk up long wooden steps and into this nice house. There is a lot of people there. It is a party. The girl invites me up to her room where some heavy romance goes on.

There are some other characters there at the party including 2 people like this:

I'm in a bedroom discussing a golfing trip with some girl. I don't know too much about golf, and apparently she loves it so planning a five day trip to some resort. I'm not too excited about playing her, so I tell her that we'll play different versions of the game to make it easier for me. She leaves, and I walk out side, and I find myself at an outside walkway of a two story building. It's similar to the one I lived in at the army, but theres a swimming pool a few feet in front of us, and theres no railing, and it's not in the middle of the desert.

Some miniature dog runs up and tries to play with me. It's running around in circles, and it wants to get me into the act. I moved forward and stopped really quick and the dog tried to do the same thing, but it slid and fell off the building. I thought it would have been dead for sure, but it wasn't. I told everyone around the area not to tell the blonde lady what happened to her dog, and I headed down the steps to go after it.

(gap in recall)

I'm heading to the bathroom and when I find a spot, all the urinals are really high up, and some kid goes to the one next to us, and when he pees it ricochets over to me and the next guy. I blocked my face till it was over and told him to watch his aim next time. (I waited to talk because I didn't want pee going into my mouth) So....I continued my business and some black and red insect showed up on my finger. It had claws like a scorpion, but it had four of them, and it looked like it lacked a stinger. I tried to let it crawl elsewhere, but it starting pinching my finger. I broke each claw one by one, and threw him to the ground and smashed it. It left a yellowish goo on the ground.

I am in a library. I borrow Bram Stokers 'Dracula' and start reading it. Soon I am myself in the story.
Dracula is hunting me with his werewolf ally. I end up in an old room (a tavern?). There is a black table in the room. Also the walls and ceiling are black. The floor is covered in a thick layer of dust. There are two women in the room. Another is skinny and another is fat. I sit next to the skinny woman, but they change places. The fat woman's manifestation (or essence or something like that, its a little hard to explain) is a ghost. The skinny woman's manifestation (same as with the fat woman) is a werewolf. Both the werewolf and the ghost are with Dracula. When he comes to the room, the werewolf and the ghost will sit on their places next to the two women. There is also a man in the room. He has a pistol, but its pipe points 180 degrees to the wrong way, towards the one holding the gun, so the man has to hold it so that he pulls the trigger with his thumb. Dracula comes to the room. I run away with the skinny woman and the man, who is shooting at Dracula with his gun. The skinny woman is escaping Dracula, because he would turn her into a werewolf and make her hunt her father (but apparently not killing him).
We go to a water slide. The water is warm. The slide turns out to be an underground river. The bottom and the tunnel walls and ceiling are composed of volcanic stone. I can see it in the red glow of stone. But when i touch the stone with my feet, it feels as warm as the water. The riverbottom is also rough with dull spikes maybe 30 centimetres thrusting from it. I fear I'll hurt my feet on them, but luckily that doesn't happen. We emerge from the tunnel. Somewhere at this point i wake up. I do a RC to confirm I'm awake. Soon I fall asleep.
The dream continues. Now Dracula is imprisoned in the Moon for 1000 years with the werewolf. I am with the skinny woman and a dark elf. We go in to a building. It is an old butcher's. Its walls and ceiling are as black as the tavern's. It has a platform in may two metres' height. The dark elf climbs up and asks if from the woman if she still has sausages. She says yes and gives the dark elf all her four sausages whe he asks to. He puts them hanging from the ceiling. He pulls out a small carcass from seemingly nowhere and puts it with the sausages. No we'd have to pretend there's no one there. "This is where we'll wait", the dark elf says.
A thousand years pass. After those years one of the craters in the Moon starts expanding, releasing oxygen. Soon the black hole covers almost everything of the unnaturally large full moon. After the first crater has settled down, another starts expanding. Dracula and his werewolf ally have returned. I go to the water slide. The start of the slide is now where it ended the previous time. Now there is a football team of five members in the slide. They are in two tubes that are connected to each other. The foremost man is holding a coca cola bottle. I wander in the area fore a while. Soon i go to the water slide for the third time. The football team is there again. We set off. The walls of the tunnel are now composed of plastic. The foremost man throws the lemonade from his bottle on the rest of us. We emerge from the tunnel again, but it is not the place from which I started the slide for the first time. It is a vast, dark cavern. We leave it. When we come from the door, we are facing wide stairs. They are full with M18 claymore mines, which will detonate if someone crosses their sensors. A friend of mine tries to fet past the mines (the football players have all changed into my friends). I try to go with him, but suddenly we hear sounds and run away. I run to the previous room. Instead of the water slide, there are now rails. I jump down maybe two metres, where the rails are, but soon i leave them because I fear I'll get hit by a train. I climb back up and try to get some light from my mobile phone in the darkness, but it doesn't work properly. Sometimes the light comes, but soon it fades out. Soon the door opens, and a woman strides in. She is about 1,70 metres tall and has long red hair. With her comes an older man. She asks the man if there are anyone here. I lay silent where I was when the woman came in while she searches the room, but she doesn't find me altough she comes only a few metres from me. She goes back to the man. They talk for a while and leave.
When they have left, the others come in. I put the lights on and have a look at the room. It is indeed very large and has two old steam locomotives in it. Abruptly the woman comes back in. I hide under a blaket as soon as I can but the woman has already seen us all. "I have you!" she cries "I have you all! How are you so [I]stupid[I]? You are so utterly stupid! How're you gonna escape now?" I step forth, say: "By this" and wake up.

Just wanted to update this and get it out of the way for today:

I dreamed today that I was talking to my friend Nate over text messaging. He is also the guitarist in my band. He kept insinuating that he wasn't able to practice (a thing I'm afraid of every week ) and he finally told me he can't come because he can't skip out on work because he's gotta make some money. I remember feeling heartbroken and telling him right away: "Hey don't worry about it. Just make sure to come I'll pay for you to practice. Like 50 bucks." And I remember that he was still reluctant. I also remember asking another person who works at Pizza Hut if he had to work today and that person saying "No." So I was upset that he was bailing on me for no reason.

Man. I haven't had a good string of recalls in awhile. I need it.

This dream may or may not have been longer, but here are the parts that I can remember.

I was living with my family again at our old house on Broadway, only there was also this other guy living with us who kind of looked like Gabriel Iglesias only shorter and not quite as fluffy. Anyways, I was in what must have been my brother's room (because A) it was really heavily cluttered and B) there was a scene coming up where I was in my room, which was different) and my brother was there too when Gabriel Iglesias guy came in and demanded something. We were both blew him off so he took out an uzi and sprayed the room; he didn't hit me at all but it killed my brother. Shortly, it cut to a courtroom where I was watching the verdict in the murder trial; GI guy was somehow found not guilty. So I wake up in my bed some morning after but I'm all depressed so I just lay there for a while. When I finally got up, I found my dad and GI guy in the kitchen packing up my brother's stuff. I asked if I could look through it for anything I could use (there was kind of a neat looking fan, and a lot of our old Nintendo hardware). As I started looking through his stuff, I said, "I know we didn't get along, but now that he's gone I kind of miss him." Then I broke down in tears.

Now here's the kind of weird part: I sensed something was weird, I guess probably from the emotional breakdown so I thought, "AM I DREAMING? REALITY CHECK!" But instead of doing a proper reality check I ended up just waking myself up.

Oops.

There was a little bit of dream bleeding with this one too. I woke up into reality trying to figure out how I could sneak some concentrated potassium chloride into GI guy's bloodstream.

So it seems the new mantra has a bit of a gaping flaw, and I suspect I know why. Namely that I haven't associated it with an actual reality check. I'll maybe fix this in the future, but for now this'll go on the back burner.
