non-lucid

1. I'm dressing in my room to go to my old high school. I'm indecisive, and wind up taking clothes with me into the school bathroom. I change several times, but the bell rings when I'm in a long-sleve shirt, shorts, and gym shoes with long socks. This is an ugly combination and I have a minor panic attack as I have to go to class.

2. I'm walking the streets of a generic city with my mom. Together we enter a Jamaican-themed hotel, where a steel-drum fronted band is playing a tropical tune. My mom steals the bass and rips off a solo, then throws the bass to me. I miss, and the bass crashes to the floor. We leave and go to eat, and I am rude to her as dinner conversation continues. She reaches a breaking point and tells me tearfully that she's hidden three divorces previous to my dad and my own conception.

I thought I would just upload some of my dreams I have recorded in my DJ. Also a few past dreams I had when I was younger.

Mythic Date: Unknown; Lucid: Yes
This dream is one from the past. I was this strange creature, blue, with colorful designs, bipod like. I was in this strange world, blue skys - littered with clouds, beige rocky canyon with very shallow water running in it, like a tributary but the water was a bout 2 inches deep. Very warm. Waterfalls pouring into a shallow pond/lake. I remember seeing a female version of my species, whom I felt VERY attracted too. Like your first love or true love, this was the affection I had for her.

I remember a ship dusting off and departing from the the world, and me and my counterpart had waved a goodbye as it left. I assume it dropped us off on this to colonize/repopulate? seeing as how we were the only species of our type on it. I remember seeing kids, for some reason I think they were mine so im assuming I have good relationship skills. This was one of my favorite dreams, the feeling of deep affection for someone is like none other.

Slenderman Date: 8/17/10; Lucid: No
I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with the Slenderman but this is my dream about it. I was in this Halloween looking town, dark with reds and oranges and blacks. I see decorations of witches and pumpkins. I'm in a group of 3 people. Me, an attractive woman with red dyed hair, and the Slenderman. Suddenly my dream switches settings.

I'm now in an underground bunker, that seems run down but not derelict. It is populated with humans and it seems to be a commuter town. Water is draining from plumbing pipes that are sticking out of the cracking/breaking walls. I now switch over to the attractive woman. I remember sitting in bed with a drape over the side, it is very bright and I remember talking to the Slenderman. Now I switch roles again and I am the Slenderman. I seem to be thinking of evil intentions but not acting on them.

Technicality Date: 8/22/10; Lucid: No
Im using my laptop. The setting is my room. On my laptop I'm using BitTorrent for some reason. I appear to be downloading some program that doesn't exist.

I'm now in my old town that I moved from. I remember my neighborhood and how nostalgic it is. Nothing more after this.

Pokemon and Civil Wars Date: 8/23/10; Lucid: No
This is a strange one. I'm not sure why I even dreamed about this. I see Team Rocket from Pokemon. I mean, the original Team Rocket, Jesse and James. It appears to be a live action reenactment of the show, but the actors look just like the anime characters. They were having a talk at a dinner table and discussing over something. Then the live action actors turned into the anime characters as the dream went on.

Now I'm waking up, preparing for classes for college. I'm taking a shower but now my friends are in my house, talking and planning to do something. I change my clothes and walk downstairs to my deck. I look outside and see the Civil War happening in my backyard. I see a Confederate man and a Union man fighting. At this point, they both lose ammo, pull swords out and slice at each other. The Confederate wounds the Union soldier and then he executes him with a primitive pistol. Suddenly, the British from the American Revolution start charging at the Confederate and they kill him. I dont see blood or anything in this.

Nightmares and Death Date: Unknown; Lucid: Yes
I had a nightmare of being chased by rabid dogs. Huge dogs. I remember being bitten and not feeling the pain, but I felt shock and panic. I finally thought to myself "ENOUGH!" and the dream stopped in its tracks. I then proceeded to dream about more relaxing dreams. I've never had a nightmare since.

I remember being on the Empire State building. I'm looking over the city, although its just a few skyscrapers and nothing more. Next thing I know, I'm falling, though I do not feel the experience of falling. I hit the ground, but instead of waking up, I wind up in a white room. Nothing but white. I cannot detail the size of the room but for some reason it seems big, unfathomable.

I-Phone

I was at my family home in Masterton. My brother had left an i-phone there. I took it with me, he wasnt even at home so I didnt think he would mind. I ended up at my old school, the old principle was there and he was very old. He wanted to say something to everyone so I helped him to the front of the auditorium. He started talking about i-phones. One of the kids in the audience pulled out his i-phone and started showing everyone a movie or something. The principle was impressed and I think he wanted one. The it ended and I was waiting out by the corner where I used to wait to be picked up. It was night time, my mate came over and started talking about some mushrooms on the ground, I told him they wernt the right ones and would make him sick. I started telling him about the new mushroom patch I found at home but was careful not to tell him too much as he would definatly go pick them. I told him how we took too many and lost our minds on them. I then realised it was daytime, I was sure it happened way too quickly so I RC'ed and my pinky finger didnt pop out of my hand! Dammit the first time this RC has every failed me! I ended up having an FA and writing down my dream only to wake up and do it for real haha


Drizzt

I only remember a fragment. I was Drizzt Do'Urden and thats all I remember. Gutted cos this dream would have been apic as fuck!!!

I was a witcher like in the video game. I have a group I am traveling with. We were in a building exploring. I went back. I used a metal pan as a mirror to look behind me for some reason I don't remember. I was cautious. I walked slowly and carefully. I could hear my foot steps and nothing else. I made my way to a room. there were others witchers there. I had a brief discusion. I opened the door and looked out. I could see werewolves lurking about. We subconsciously agreed to attack. I charge forward while drawing my sword. I cut and slash and kill one. the dream changes to 3rd person as if I am playing a video game. I touch the screen on the next one to attack. No mouse. Killed it. I switch back to 1st person. I see the others holding a evil zombie like girl upside down by the legs. There are two girls the same. two witchers on each. Someone keeps saying look at the pretty bikini girl. The girls are wearing bikini underwear and miniskirts. being upside down I see all. Someone pinches up a part of the vagina. I know I must kill but I cant. I walk to the other and and someone puts a blade deep inside her vagina to the hilt. I am disgusted and saddened. I turn to the other. I reach out for her and she shrinks into a barbie doll. I throw the doll to a big stationary monster. It is a blob of flesh with stubby arms, no legs and all teeth. It grabs the girl and eats her head first. I can hear bones crunching and flesh tearing. I wake up suddenly.

#1: non-lucid

I was at a lock on the waterway where my dad works, with a friend of mine. We're sitting on the grass, and she has a tiny turtle that she's feeding pieces of bread. I go with her as she carries the turtle over to the side of the lock and puts it down in the water. She tears off pieces of bread and throws them into the water. The turtle is eating them, and small fish swim up to eat too. More and bigger fish show up, and for a moment I see a piranha. I'm afraid that if she stops throwing bread, the piranha will start eating the other fish or her turtle.
Even bigger fish start coming up, the water is completely full of them, big bass. My mom shows up, and takes some bread from my friend, and tosses a few pieces onto the concrete beside the water. I ask what she's doing and she says that she needs to get dinner. A huge bass flops up onto the concrete, and starts flipping itself further from the water. There was grass in that direction before, but now there's a long, but shallow, empty swimming pool. It was full of dirt and dead leaves, and the fish landed in it and stopped moving.
I cross to the other side of the lock, and see a bunch of oyster shells stuck to the side, just above the water and clustered up high, and most of them are empty. The ones that aren't are still open, and I can see the pink skin inside breathing. There's a sign beside them that says "a clam shell contains air and 14 breathing mechanisms."
I look across the lock at my friend, who has coaxed two sea lions up out of the water, and holding some bread up above on of their heads, trying to get it to reach up its nose to eat

#2: lucid
When the dream started, I was going through the mail in my kitchen, and found that I had been mailed a magazine. Inside the front cover was a message that said "if you want to know more, meet me in Vaughn" and there were instructions on which bus I should take, and a finished with "More instructions will follow." It was signed Deb Graves, who was a strange woman that I met(in real life) at a gallery opening recently. I was reading this message while sitting in my living room, and when I looked up my mom was on the couch with me, and I showed her the message.
She took the magazine from me and seemed to read it, but when she looked back at me, she just started berating me. My mom acting like that is actually a pretty common dream sign for me, and it prompted me to do a reality check. I looked at my hands, and wasn't entirely convinced, so I pinched my nose and I could breathe. I stayed calm through the realization, and immediately started rubbing my hands together and looking around me, which brought the details of the room into focus.
I didn't want to stay with my dream mom, she was still yelling, so I left the house. It was too bright, I needed to stabilize, so I bent down and ran my hands over the grass, which was wet. My mom had followed me out of the house though, so I started moving down the street. I was trying to will her away, tried to tell her that she wasn't real, I wasn't really sure how to get rid of her, but nothing I tried worked.
She started trying to convince me that I was actually awake. Specifically, she said, "I know what you dont know. I know that if you looked at your hands right now, they'd look just like my hands."
I started running from her, and I remembered reading a post on the forums about running really quickly on all fours. I started running on my hands and feet and it felt completely natural and smooth. I kept saying "faster, faster" and every time I did I felt my speed increase. The world was streaking by.
When I stopped, she was still right behind me. I decided to try to fly. I closed my eyes and imagined what it would feel like to lift off the ground, and then it was actually happening. I started to drift upwards, and I was feeling thin and light, like I was transparent. I tried to visualize a forest before I opened my eyes, hoping that I'd be flying over it when I did. Instead I was still over the street, and my mom was clinging to my legs.
I drifted back down, set her down on the ground, and she let go without struggling. I lifted up higher and higher and started moving forwards. On the horizon, there were billowing swirls of bright yellow and dark blue, and I started moving towards them. The detail faded quickly before I woke up, but it didn't feel abrupt.

There was some new online game that AJ had, we were playing it on his laptop, it was a go-kart like game and I was controlling the kart from a 3rd person perspective. AJ had a new graphics card it was attached to a USB port on top of the computer and it was yellow and in the shape of a tape measure and it had the Can You Run It? Logo in a circle on the card..

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

I was at some sort of event and I think I was in a costume, some woman was bragging about how some man was rich. I ask her to follow me to show her how rich I could be.. I led her behind a wooden sign and said something like, "JARVIS, open please.." and the back opened up revealing hundreds or thousands wooden thumb tacks which I claim were from the Wild West era..

I grabbed a handful and later went to the computer to start auctioning them off, I saw a video or a series of images describing the tacks something like "The people of the Wild West eventually found out that they had no more need for the tacks."

I heard that they were made of "Oakwood" or something like that...

Notes:
The problem with continually trying to WILD is that you end up getting a glut of sleep paralysis-related dreams, which usually aren't lucids. But this one was just effing scary.

I was in my supposed room, a small bedroom with dark blue walls and a queen-sized bed with a mint green comforter. I was lying on my stomach, on top of the comforter without a pillow, but with my arms under my head. In real life they would've lost circulation, but in the dream they didn't. I attempting to get sleep paralysis to WILD, but I wasn't getting anywhere. I got off the bed and lay down on the steel blue-colored carpet, my arms under my head again. My eyes were open the whole time.

Immediately after settling down, I felt tingling, and then I felt something sitting on top of me. Then it proceeded to almost lightly hug me, as I could feel it wrapping around my chest and back. It got off and then I heard a slight metallic flick. My heart began to beat very fast, almost coming through my chest; I could feel it trying to get out.

I then felt something sharp dragging along my back in a straight line. It stopped after a few moments, and then it happened again, a few inches down, parallel to the other line. Then, it happened twice more, but this time the lines were perpendicular to the previous two. It almost hurt, but there wasn't any true discernible pain. The whole time I tried to ignore it, because I knew it wasn't real (not to mention it wasn't even sleep paralysis but a dream!).

It ended and I woke up for real.

Wow. Five good recalls in one single night. A new high for me! They were decently vivid too, at least the longer ones were, and a few of the fragments were literally flash in the pan. What makes me really happy about this is that I did not perform WBTB. I simply remembered that many different dreams upon waking. Hopefully I'm getting close! I'm RCing about 10 times a day, on a guess. As well as perusing the forums occasionally. Every time I RC I repeat to myself "If I'm dreaming, I will become lucid" and I look around the room for any signs of dreaming. Does that, coupled with my daily DJ, seem like enough to incite a DILD?

Anyways: onto the dreams.

I'm walking through some sort of in between that goes from rural Illinois to downtown Chicago. The goal is to meet a bunch of friends as well as my wife's dad at a place to eat dinner. We are trying to decide where to eat when i decide that a steakhouse sounds good. So I go through this in between and end up in a little long room with two wide red couches and two wide tvs. It doesn't say it anywhere but I know this is a Blackhawks fanclub.

I wee Vern there and we decide to go on ahead. He asks me where I want to eat. I think a moment and decide on this steak house. With my steak knife with me for some reason we set out to walking out of the club and down the street.

And now for sole reason I'm doubling back. I've walked back through the in between to go get my friends. I'm looking for Jake Chris and Lawrence. For some reason I know they have begun to cross the I'm between, which now looks like a corn field, so I head back to cross it.

I try to wade through it but it is too thick now. I decide to walk along side it instead and i soon make it halfway across when suddenly Chris, wearing dress pants a button up and a tie, emerges and greets me. Jake is right on his heels. We have a short discussion about some rapper before I tell them what's for dinner.

Nate Phil and I are hanging out in the basement of what I assume is my parents house. There is a punching bag hanging from the ceiling and the other posts have wrap around them for more martial arts.

Phil and Nate are hanging out when I come in with my laptop and a fresh recording of one of our songs but this Time with drums on it. I start to play it and Phil is instantly annoyed cause he is tired of hearing that song over and over again.

I play it anyways and he says it is actually pretty cool outside of the timing issues. As he is saying this I am tending to a small hydroponic garden in a tent. The floor of the tray in the tent is covered in a milky orange substance. I start cleaning it out when the guys decide they want to go outside.

So we do and it's really late and dark out. I bring my laptop with me but through the walls I can hear the music we were blaring. It's avenged sevenfold. I go back inside a few times to turn it down.

Eventually my mom comes out for a minute after we head back in and says she will wake me up at nine. Phil is closed to passing out when he, alarmed, asks if they have to leave then as well. I tell him no and not to worry about it and to enjoy sleeping in.

Fragment. I'm with some group of people when this creature called the Machi appears. It looks like a monster of the Seachen People out of the Wheel of Time series. It looks like a dragon but the size of a horse. Someone kills it and I remember getting very sad.

Leah and I are watching some sort of talk show with Keanu reeves on it. There are a bunch of kids that he starts to play fight with. We are watching the event from overhead and at an angle. Keanu is diving around and throws a marker at this little girl. It nails her in the forehead and she drops like a bag of rocks. I remember laughing in my dream. This happens to three kids.

Fragment. I dream I make myself admin on Militate.

I dream I'm driving up some road at night and turning on corners. I'm out in the country. There is a car right behind me. I have my laptop out and am trying to catch a WiFi signal. I finally do catch one and I pull over. The car behind me passes.

I was in a busy chocolate store that looked like the picture below, but it had more nooks and crannies.

Outside the store I could see a strip of average-looking mall, but I didn't go outside. After all, I was looking at different packages of chocolates. I looked for a few moments and then saw a package of milk chocolate Lindt truffles. I picked it up and began to look for a cash register. I couldn't find one, so I decided to shoplift. There was an exit on the left-hand wall of the store; it was a square archway that led into another room; more specifically, the store (or whatever it was) beside it.

I walked through the door, briefly looking behind me as I did, and walked right into a swimming pool area with small tiles on the floor and a few people swimming around. Standing in the doorway, I then opened the package and proceeded to unwrap the very realistic chocolates. The plastic wrapping was twisted at the ends of each chocolate ball, just like in real life. I popped one into my mouth and ate it, then I took another one. This one was pretty much melted, so when I pressed on it just a little to unwrap it, it broke in half and chocolate spilled out onto the floor.

I then heard shouting behind me. "Get back here!" I heard a man say in a rather deep voice, and this was the signal to get out now. I saw a door on the other side of the room, with one square window on either side. On the other side of the windows were trees and sky, so I knew it was the exit to the building. I briskly walked around the pool, continuously looking behind me, and then got to the door. I turned the shiny brass doorknob and when I pulled on the door, it caught, as if a chain was stopping it from opening on the other side.

I turned around as the man, dressed in a suit, walked closer and closer...

Just a brief fragment today - working on getting back into lucid dreaming.

Myself and a few other people were playing a strange card game where you drew a card from a deck, and then acted out whatever was written on the card. Each card had a "medieval siege" theme telling you to do things like, "Attack the enemy's castle with catapults and ballistas." Sometimes they would also include a little story like, "You are a knight of the castle lord, and your family is starving do the siege."

The only card I remember reading was one I drew from the deck and said something about a harlot inside the city. However, when I tried to read the card, the words kept rearranging themselves on the card, making it impossible for me to determine what I was supposed. I handed the card over to someone else, and they looked similarly confused.

I havent posted in a while, this is from the 20th

Every time i dream that im in a public place, no matter where, i always dream about the same bathroom that ive never actually been to. I can remember exactly how it looks but its too hard to describe, so im just going to say it's a public bathroom. That was all i could recall from my first dream..

Second dream of the night, i was at a big dinner with family and friends at a restaurant. I was part of some sort of graduation, but it wasnt school. I knew i didnt expect to actually graduate tho, but i was still part of the ceremony and we were all wearing the graduation gowns.. I remember before the ceremony, in the dinning room, there were two toddlers running around, one of them was in a yellow onesie and the other was in red. The red one was a HUGE baby boy, he was under a year old but looked like a 2 year old. And my ex was the server for that table and every time i looked over he was playing with the baby. That all i remember specifically, but after dinner i remember waiting in the lineup to file into our seats for the ceremony.

21st,
went to a friend's party, so now i have learned that drunk sleep doesnt allow me to dream.
Had one recall in the morning, after i had gotten up and went back to sleep. It was a continuation of the night, and i walked down the hall to one of the bedrooms that i hadnt seen during the tour of the house. There was a light on under the door, so i opened it, and just saw a very empty looking bedroom, very plain, so i was like *sigh* and turned around. My cousin Kristen was in the doorway of the room across the hall. I said Hi and woke up, its odd because Kristen wasnt at the party, i always dream that shes with me.

I am walking down a high street and see a bunch of people about to cross the road. I decide to follow them as they seem to know where they are going. We all go into a shop which sells meats and cheeses.

I arrive at an airport or train station and it is dark and raining. I have a suitcase with me. A man offers to let me share his taxi (it is a British black cab). I get in the cab and sit with my case on the floor in front of me.

I'm a rabbit. That's odd enough.

Well, I'm an anthropomorphic rabbit - kind of like a furry, but more realistic; I'm actually a rabbit walking on two legs, just human-sized. I'm very light-colored and I'm somehow aware that I have a strip of dark orange fur down my back, though at no point in the dream do I look at my back. I am also a cowboy rabbit (cowgirl, really, though I wasn't really wearing the stereotypical cowgirl suit) and as such I am dressed up in desert cowboy gear. Two fox tails are hanging off of the back of my hat as a testament to my hunting skills.

I am sitting in the wide open desert, on a rug outside of a tent, fiddling with my gear. Even though it is the desert, it isn't burning hot, oddly enough - the wind's blowing crisp and pleasantly cool, like on a nice Fall day. I look up and a yellow-furred mouse I recognize to be my elder and mentor is walking towards me. I wave, turn to back up my stuff into my satchel, and then begin to walk towards him. He tells me that this desert is different from others and he needs to teach me some of the dangers.

We walk in a straight line, on a path that is edged by dunes. As we go along, chatting casually, I notice that the dunes are getting more and more detailed - I'm seeing wildlife and strange, colorful plants growing out of them. At one point, in between two dunes on my right, there's a long rectangular pond edged by stones with blooming cherry trees and grass surrounding it. Underneath the cherry trees, the sky is different - there are large, puffy clouds slowly moving across the blue, reflected in the water. It's a bit like a Japanese garden, and very vivid.

We keep walking, however. One other landscape stands out in my memory. Between two dunes, there are several large leafed-out trees and colorful plants poking up from the sand. Eagerly, I step forward to walk through, curious to see what's on the other side - but my mentor pulls me back, and several seconds later a group of predatory venomous frogs between the sands. He reminds me to always look before you leap, and then says that that's enough for the day.

There's a small timeskip and suddenly I'm at home, in the kitchen, near my mother - an older plain brown rabbit wearing a blue dress. I remember the kitchen being a very dingy, small version of my grandmother's, with much less color. The windows over the sink have a view of tree-covered mountains, surrounded by gray mist and an overcast sky. (Last time I looked out in a window in a dream, I saw this same view and it was also in a dark, dingy room, over a sink. Potential dreamsign, maybe?) There is a ladder behind me leading to the attic/my room, so I climb up it.

The room is made of dark, slightly faded wood, and the ceiling seems like it was in a pattern like a wicker basket. I can still hear my mentor's voice in my head, though I didn't see him any more - he is telling me that it is almost Christmas. Indeed, as I look around the room, there are various shelves and my dresser topped Christmas ornaments, though they are scattered and disheveled. My mentor tells me to clean them up to make my mother happy, because she is sad for some reason, so I do - I go around the room and polish and arrange them. There is one set of chesslike pieces of Christmas figures that stand out in my mind for some reason; they are slightly worn and made of frosted blue glass.

Eventually, I sit back down on my bed to observe my handiwork - the room is considerably brighter and cheerier. In fact, the color itself seems more vivid, and the lighting is as if someone turned off a harsh, sterile white light like one you would see in a doctor's office and turned on a yellowier, friendlier one. I feel happier and warmer on the inside, and I am aware that relatives are coming into the house downstairs. I head back to the kitchen, which is bright and happy once more.

Then I wake up.

At first I was at school, in Mrs. G's classroom. I saw Mrs. M walk into our class. She briefly waved and said hi, but then left to the other classes. I asked Mrs. G why she wouldn't come in or anything, and she said that there had apparently been some quarrel between Mrs. M and the "higher-ups."

She walked to the doorway again. She was wearing that green jacket again. I ran to her and greeted her. Then we went to the hallway, and we embraced. I started crying.

"It was so horrible that last year..."

I said it so quiet that I don't know if she heard. She seemed really upset too.

Then I was at school, but in a different room. It had a big projector screen. We were watching or listening to something. Mrs. G was telling us an assignment, something to do with picking a song. Earlier I had walked by the hallway and heard Mrs P's class doing it, and they got to pick their songs. And so I raised my hand and told Mrs. G that we should get to pick too. After a bit of hesitation she agreed. I decided that I would probably pick "The Old Ways" by Loreena Mckennitt, since it's probably my all time favorite song. Then the projector started playing random songs, as if it knew our favorites. One came on that was a LM song, and I thought it was The Old Ways at first, but then I realized that it wasn't.

Then I was outside, in my mom's car. She was dropping me off at school, even though it was apparently after school. I saw MA on her bike waving at me. I waved back. When I got out, everything was snowy. Then MA biked toward me with a bag of candy, but she seemed to be angry with me for some reason, and she went right past me.

The last part is just a fragment; I remember seeing a square of rainbows.
