non-lucid

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.

I have to stop going to bed so late, my recall is suffering...

In this dream, I was on a computer. I was sitting in a chair inside some form of wooden cabin sunroom, and I was working on a website. The page looked normal, but there was a big fat bar at the bottom, like the status bar in Internet Explorer but thicker and had a number in the lower left corner. It was currently at "0.00", probably gauging money or something.

I closed the page I was working on, and the number changed to "-44.00", as if I were in debt for closing the page! I looked away to get something, and the number changed once more, becoming somewhere in the -200's. I remember flipping out because I didn't have the money to pay, and my mom would be so mad at me if she were to find out. What would I do?

1. I had a dream where I was (or there were) a lot of different types of Jesus Christs and one of them (possibly me) had a French accent. They were holding an olympic games sorta thing and I ordered someone to go around the track for 5 years.

2. I was with a group and a little kid showed me what he saw: *explicit content*

3. I was cracking a lot of eggs straight onto an oven hotplate. I was meant to do it quickly and ensure that all the egg fell out. A proper chef was watching me.

Thats about it. I am not sure if we can write explicit material on here so I have avoided it right now.

Even though I live in a student apartment, on the second floor, with my mate R, I'm far from a regular student. I always wear black suits on evenings, because that's when I go to my job, as a kidnapper, extortionist and blackmailer. I'm a professional, taking jobs only from a select few clients, and taking no risks.
This time, The Boss wants me to lean on the senator's son to make him influence his father to change his mind on a law proposal. I go to his house to talk to him. The senator's son, skinny guy with short hair and glasses, but a stone cold look on his face, comes willingly, so it's not like a regular kidnapping. However, he refuses to accept my demands. No threats can make him change his mind about this, he says.
Frustrated about not having a break-through, I call up my flat-mate R, to see if he has any suggestions. He says, "For influence, and to learn how to be cruel, there's a series of YouTube films you have to watch. It's called Happy Tree Friends. There you can learn how to be more cruel, so he will listen to you. Even show him the show, and that you like it, and he will understand that you have no mercy."
After watching Happy Tree Friends by myself a little bit, I take my laptop to the senator's son (who is now tied up in a safe-house somewhere), to show it to him. We both watch it together.
(The whole focus changes to the "full screen" episode on youtube.) In this episode, a cute, brown bear has set up a trap to catch a rabbit. It works, cutting in to the rabbit's legs as he is trapped in the metal jaws. He picks up the rabbit, laughing hysterically. He then pretends to set him free, only to catch him again. The bear now takes and axe and chops off limbs and parts of the rabbit's stomach.
"Do you believe me now?", I say to the senator's son, who is looking a lot more frightened. "You still won't kill me though," he says, and still refuses to change his mind.
I go back to the apartment, where I almost take a wrong turn into my neighbours apartment, which confusingly is behind the doors of a lift, which I thought went upstairs. I go to my room, find my phone with a few text messages from The Boss, which makes no sense. I text to him that there's a problem with the senator's son, and we need to meet.
The Boss comes to my apartment, accompanied by his life guard. The Boss is a big, bald man in a black suit, smoking a cigar. He tells me, "If there's no way he will change his mind, get rid of him". "But I'm no hitman," I reply. "I don't care, just do it". The Boss is looking a bit annoyed now. I agree to do it, but not for free - I will charge him 450 extra for the killing.

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.

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.

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
