non-lucid

I remember a fragment of a dream.

There was a party. It was at a pool. I did not know the place. My cousins were there, along with other people that I knew, as well as a lot that I didn't. It was crowded, but not uncomfortable. Everyone was happy and partying. Someone was tossed into the pool with his clothes on.

Conditions:
Fell asleep: 2:00 am

COMMENT LUCID NON LUCID DREAM SIGN

As always when I experience a dissapointement, life gives me a little consolation Although I didnt manage to LD again this night, I did beat my record of Most Dreams in a Night. 4 is now the record to beat

Dream 1: I am on a black street in my neighborhood. I know exactly what street it is, its close to the cycling road and the park. I go by bike sometimes. Anyway I see Philippe (again) who tells me to come play with them. There is also Justin, Olivier (the black one) and Amelie. Justin proposes we play a game where we have to press with our thumbs as fast as possible. It hurts.

Dream 2: I register in a class at school to learn more about and sing like Billy Talent. As I look for the classroom, I notice I am the only student of that class. Up a big set of stairs, M.Dugré and a female teacher are waiting for me. M.Dugré pulls out a weird paralelogramme with blocks inside. There is a single block missing. He asks me what the signification of this object is for the band. I have no idea. He sighs in despair.

Dream 3: The whole dream is centered around screamers. First we go to a park with a big screen. My mom tells there is a pikachu screamer here. I do like usual and hide my eyes and ears. The park has a new screamer every day, and for some reason we always come back. Later my mom convinces me to watch it as it is not scary at all. It isnt, really. After the creepy music that begins, all you see is a pikachu that falls next to a Marill. Not bad. Then the next time we go, the creepy music starts and everyone yells. But not me Im hidden. Then the park manager tells us that the daily screamer is cancelled before it scares kids (go figure). If you want to get your daily dose of being scared shitless, you must go to a huge manor at night. Nice. I decide to stay with my uncle but since its my dream and the plotline doesnt go forward if im not there () I still end up on a boat to the manor. As soon as we get there I feel like ive been there before, either with school or at Quebec with my family. Except now its pitch black outside. Luckily, the dream ends before I get the chance to go in. This was NOT a nightmare. It was a regular dream with the addition of something that would scare me in real life Had I watched one, it probably would have turned into a NM.

Dream 4: Short since it was at 7:15 in the morning. I am in the house when I see a big orange ball. Theres a big crack in it so I decide to put my head in it. I can still breathe through just fine. I walk around the house and watch out not to hit things. I also go on the patio and downstairs. Not long but counts as a dream

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

I was behind a square piece of hedge on the lawn of a rather modern-looking house; the exterior was saturated tan stucco with sienna brown accents, and the driveway was two flat slabs of yellow-tinted concrete. The location must have been set in a desert because the sky was blue and there wasn't much grass on the ground. I could see everything around me, even though it was fairly dark outside.

I was looking at a man who was walking along the driveway. His name is Hank, a character from the AMC series Breaking Bad; he was wearing a black jacket, slightly baggy, and blue jeans. I saw a flash of a salmon-colored shirt underneath, where the jacket was unzipped. He looked the same as the image below, but obviously with different clothing.

The car was red and fairly rusty; it looked like a van made in the 80's with sharper corners and less curves. There was a thin panel of polished wood placed horizontally around the vehicle as an accent.

He got into the car without opening the door; instead, he slipped through the open window which was slightly larger than it should've been. He turned the car on with an exaggerated twist of his arm, turning the key, and began to back up. I moved along the hedge as the car backed up, and then pulled out a cell phone. Without dialing any numbers, I immediately began to speak into it. "He's here," I spoke into the phone.

A pigeon appeared beside me; it was light gray and had black speckles all over its wings, as if someone had dusted it with pepper. It had the same cell phone stuck to the side of its head, without being propped up by anything. But it didn't speak, it just walked along the ground and disappeared on the other side of the hedge.

Non-Lucid
Side Notes

13-08-10 Fragmented stuff only from this night. In one dream I was back at that dreadful marketing job, trying my best to spend as little time on the phones as possible. I was doing the best in terms of time spent on the phones per lead, but I was just not happy. Mark was leading the team and he was shredding people's performance, he acted like a dick. Although right after the shouting he invited the entire team for coffee on him, I sort of missed out on this as I had to explain a couple of things to some clients who loved my little acting. An old school friend of mine (who never worked with me when I lived in England) was stood over the setting really wanting me to explain the quality assurance procedure. After this I walked out into the streets realising that I knew not what coffee shop to go to, it wasn't the usual shop and none of them looked as they used to (I remember feeling a bit suspicious about this, but I managed to find my friends soon after realising this).
…
Well after this hell hole, dreaming got a whole lot more interesting..
…
I was in some weird house after a party and my family was hungover. My sister requested that I joined her for some Crosby (it wasn't actually that particular show, but this is what she said) Now thinking I am in for a world of hurt she flicks on the telly and they explain their intentions of not only showing the next 6 episodes, but also how they will integrate Lady Gaga's new album into these. Just great, 3 hours of agonizing family entertainment spiced with ear sundering attempts at music are my thoughts at this point. However I quickly realize that the episodes will be centred around a boy-scouts-meet-girl-scouts-camp, which indeed sounds horrible, until I realise that the only rules in the camp are: boys must wear moose hats (lol) and the girls (lead by a brown haired, short Lady Gaga, yummy!!) must wear transparent bikinis and make themselves 'available'. For a short while I shift and I am actually in the camp exploring it myself, which is thoroughly enjoyable, until I shift back. At this point Drew (a good friend of mine who worked in the marketing company mentioned in the previous dream) is also lying watching. We talk about a test I still have to do that he, completed some time back by reading six pages (!?!?). Anyway, dirty as I feel, I decide that I would rather watch this show alone, so I come up with food as a distraction, I go to the fridge and see that there are some sausages and tomatoes which I decide to cook. I ask my sister how many she wants (Neither her nor me question my intentions of eating hot dogs at this point, which is odd considering the fact I am a vegetarian) anyhow she wants six. I go back to the kitchen and realise I am a vegetarian and decided to just go for the tomatoes. I wake up.

On side notes I attempted to WILD last night, and reached a state where the hallucinations were many, but kept getting distracted by some sort of bug (I checked it, and it was actually in the room). I couldn't seem to get past the hallucination point, but I did feel my body slap into a completely relaxed state. At certain points my body would shake violently, but pleasantly (something I have experienced while stoned AND (not simultaneously as I never practice meditation techniques under influence of any kind) when having practised quigong) I can stop these shakes with conscious efforts, but I tend to take an observing role and just let it roll over me. However I had had no sleep prior to these WILD attempts which could explain why I was unsuccessful (I am an utter noob at this though, so this is just way of getting across that I have read the WILD tutorials ^^).

Omg, this dream was really really freaky and weird!

I don't recall the beginning of it but somehow I hurt my arm really bad. I think I almost died or something in the injury. The first things I remember is that I was in the room in which I stayed in my parents place when visiting them in Umeå. I was surrounded by a whole bunch of people I know (Simon and Kim are the ones I can recall). Somehow my friends were helping me to regenerate into perfect health. Unfortunately my arm was too damaged to be regenerated because it wasn't connected to the rest of my body with veins anymore. I had a huge chunk (approx the size as if you would have ripped it off with your hand) gone from the upper arm. Only the bones and like some centimeters on the underside was left. I needed to get blood into the lower part of the arm, otherwise I would lose it. This was done by letting a bumblebee crawl there. Somehow that gave me like a plastic pipe from the vein in the top part to the lower part which allowed blood to flow through.

It hurt in my arm and I recall feeling faint due to the blood loss. I could barely move/lift the lower part of the arm because then it hurt in the wound.

After some time everybody was gathered in the living room to watch spirited away. The couch was crowded by people. I still felt pain in my arm and I knew that it would take really long time if it would heal. Linus said some word in english and Kim said it back to him in swedish but he didn't hear due to the noise from the TV. That made her believe that she had pronounced it wrongly when she hadn't so I told her she'd pronounced it good.

Plotron was suddenly there as well and sat next to me, lol (even though I have never seen him). He praised a sculpture thingy that stood on the window ledge. He said some constructive things about the construction. It was Linus who had made the sculpture and I told Plotron that. I was eating ice cream with my left hand since I had the injury on the other arm. I then dropped some on the floor and when I was trying to pick it up, I couldn't because it hurt when I tried with my damaged arm and I had the ice cream in the other. Plotron saw that I needed help and picked up the dropped ice cream and ate it, haha. XD

Peter and some other guy said to me that it was strange that I couldn't use my right arm. They didn't really believe in my injury or that it was that bad. I decided to show them the hole and I started to pull up my sweater arm. That was a un-nice process since every time I accidentally touched the injury, it would hurt and my arm twitched a bit. The hole was now covered with a bandage or something, but there was a hole in the bandage where you could see a part of the wound. they said "damn" or something similar.

Then I woke up and thought "omg...". I even checked my arm to make sure it was whole. xD The strangest thing about this dream is that it was sooo long! I remember having the impression that when we sat there and watched the movie, it was for a really long time. During all of this time I felt a slight pain in my arm that would get worse whenever I moved it or something. really freaky and weird dream.

Okay, so the night before yesterday, I remembered some dreams. I didn't write it down yesterday and now it is almost entirely gone from my mind. I do have the keywords I wrote down right after awakening and they are very funny. xD First of all, considering the handwriting I think I was extremely tired upon writing them, lol.

Some guy was evil
Me rabbit form (I have vague images of me being half transformed into a rabbit. I could jump to the ceiling)
Beat the guy due to starcraft? (wtf starcraft)
Daniel move, walk with furniture (This is something daniel kinda wants to do irl as well. To move somewhere and walk there with the furniture)
Dog challenge
Talk with a wheel (okay, wtf. This takes the prize)
Edi make fun of animal planet

PART 1 - DRAWING

Something about drawing...

ANALYSIS

I've been learning to draw and practiced some new things yesterday, likely trigger.

Wasn't able to get ahold of the voice recorder, hopefully will be able to try it tonight.

I've been waking up through the night a lot lately, which is unusual for me. I think it's because I feel compelled to sleep on my side, but I'm concerned about how that may affect the "ailment" I'm currently dealing with. May give it a try tonight, see if I have recovered enough for it to be comfortable and without negative effect. Would be interesting to see how it would impact recall.

Me (a paladin I think) and a group member (mage?) are on a rocky and grassy hill with a cave at the top. The cave contains two fast spawning titansteel nodes (one for each of us) and a green ogre that we have to continually kill to farm the nodes. We eventually leave the cave and find a bandit camp on the same hilltop. We meet another player (hunter) who rushes to the cave and steals my titansteel node, as I can see on the minimap. I grab small boulders that all have the exact same shape (circular with random rounded edges) and throw them infront of him, spelling out a word because I think that they look like they could be letters, all I can remember are the letters o, and e+r ("loser" maybe?). My partners tells me to warn him if the authorities are coming, and as i chase the thief down a narrow valley on the hill a large mob of people appear at the bottom. One walks up and yells something, and then kills the thief. I then retreat back up the mountain, running away from the mob and shouting to my partner to let him know that they are coming and we are in danger.

Don't remember a huge deal of last nights dreams.

I was dreaming of the simpsons and Mr Burns was really ill. Then it faded and suddenly my best friend Stuart was standing in my living room telling my mum he was going deep sea diving. He asked me did I want to come and all of a sudden we were standing on a dock with wooden slats, I could feel how cold the wind was and see the water all round the dock. At the end of the dock was a building with glass doors and I followed Stuart in while telling him that I needed a snorkel. He said that we could just share his. Inside the building I remember that the wall looked like it was made up of mostly green light, with pink and yellow at the top corner.

Then I woke up.

After waking up this morning, it was too early to get up to go to uni and I was feeling groggy so I went back to sleep. I fell into sleep paralysis (although my brain wasn't fully awake, it was pretty much still half-asleep) and I tried to lucid dream. Luckily it seemed to be a pretty deep sleep paralysis (previous times I would just wake up once I noticed myself breathing) and so I held onto it mentally to delve into lucidity.
I closed my eyes and imagined going through this weird place, and went through some weird tunnel thing at a factory. Just like how you close your eyes and imagine that you are somewhere. I was doing this for a while and thought that I was still just imagining it, as opposed to dreaming it.
I have a feeling that I was actually dreaming though, but I really can't be too sure. Silly me didn't do a reality check :/

I haven't written anything down in my physical DJ in a few days since I've been lazy but I've managed to remember a few frags of dreams that when I woke up, I thought were the most vivid and lengthy dreams in a while.

1: I was in some sort of farm patch and was cutting lettuce off the groun (been watching too much travel channel) and then threw them into a truck behind me. Then it was carrots. After that I reached into a big bush and felt a pain in my right hand. I noticed my pinky was gone! (Should've gotten lucid. Oh well ) It was as if my pinky was cut off.

Spoiler for Kinda Gross:

It was all scabby and overflowing with puss. When I touched it, it felt as if my pinky really were gone and it hurt like a mofo.

Then I continued on with cutting the vegetables.

2: I was in a very large airport like structure and there was an alien spacecraft floating above us They said that if we did not meet their demans that they would burn us alive with acid. After a minute or two it started raining, only it was raining acid. A drop landed on my head and it began to burn. Then, another drop landed on my wrist and also started to hurt. I looked down and there was a small welt where the dorp had hit. All this acid went straight through the roof, but when I put my sweatshirt on it protected me form the acid. I noticed other people running away trying to get away form it.

I was then in another circular room with several people whom I don't remember. There was a T.V. on the wall of a past dream I had (it was a sex dream, lol). They said that they had been monitering my dreams. I asked them "Wait, so you can see all of my dreams?"
"Yes." one of them replied. I started to feel embarressed about them seeing me have sex in my dreams. But then the dream abruptly ended. I'm glad it was just a dream

I've never really heard of the term "lucid dreaming" until last night aimlessly surfing the web. I was intrigued by the idea that I could in some way take control of my dreams. Recalling dreams I guess I'm a bit average, I can usually remember the basics of a dream about every other night. Last night I downloaded a few mp3's just out of plain curiosity. I listened to a one hour long track called "Subliminal Lucid 3.0" before going to bed, it was very relaxing and I was surprised to find that I actually listened to the whole track. It had very soothing music and a nice chime about every 5 minutes to keep the listener awake. I could also make-out someone speaking on the track, but the words were at lower volumes than the rest of the music.
Anyways, I had a a few dreams, remembering only the last, but I'd wake up after each. The last dream however was quite eerie and vivid, almost seemed life-like. It started with me standing in my room, but there was weird sounds in the background. It sounded like a muffled voice, almost like the one from the track that I had listened to before I went to bed. It was coming from all around me, and I started looking all around me to see where it was coming from, and that's when I saw my sister standing in the doorway. She was staring at the ground, and was positioned to where I was seeing her from her side. I called out her name, and with her head still bent downwards she turns her head and looks at me. Then she starts running towards me like something out of a bad zombie movie.
That's when I jolt awake, and I was really freaking out. I guess it would kind of be classified as nightmarish, but I don't know. Right after waking I figured that what I was hearing in the background could have been that subliminal message that I was listening to the night before, telling me to do a reality check or something. I'm not sure at all of what to make of everything, but I guess tonight I'll try the same thing and hopefully not get spooked again.

It started when I went on a stakeout with some girl to see if a certain woman went to see some sort of weird sex movie. Afterward I went and sat in something we called a car. After everyone left there was this moving platform of scientists testing on lab rats that moved into the parking lot. This I had seen in another dream before...

My brothers and I went to live with the SAME woman we saw at the theater.

I knew something was up. We slept in a hotel like setting all together. Shepard, cam, Hudson and I in one bed and the old woman in the other.

It seemed like the others were completely clueless but I saw that she was abusive, physically and verbally. At one point I got the chance to call Mom & Dad and ask them to come visit they did but all they did was drive by the house and wave. I tried to call them again and again but I kept mis-dialing.

At one point I took the home phone outside and hid it somewhere in the yard so I could get to it later. But when I threw it into a pile of stuff, I lost it. I dug through it and found a bunch of money and A LOT of keys one of the keys was giant and had three tips.. I look to my left and see the phone is in the red plastic bin.

I overhear the woman say "Where's Ryker?" I quickly pick up everything and then run around to the other side of the house and peek into a screen window where I find her cooking dinner, this kitchen and window seemed to be an exact re-creation of my neighbor's window and kitchen! "I'm right here!" I shout. It is at this point when I get a chance to REALLY see her gross pruned skin. I ask her if I can go to my friends house, she replies with an "ooh, alright"-like tone but still allows me to go.

I start walking down the street, I pass a small African American girl named "Tanya" on my way. The whole time I'm walking, I am on the phone trying to dial my parents cellphone number correctly. After what seems like ages of walking, I take a right and before I know it, I am in a place that doesn't look like my town at all. I look down a hill, I see the yellow "Round-Up" building in the distance and the church that is supposed to be on mainstreet is about a block away.

I recalled overhearing the fact that the phone I was holding used to belong to that church, so I decide to walk closer to the church, I hear yelling and pounding within it.

It is at this point the dream ends... I wish I could continue the story, but unfortunately I woke up...

My brother was hurt (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a very close chance to break my streak of recalling at least a dream on each single night. I went to bed extremely tired and woke up 30 minutes later with a dream recalled. That is all. I woke up a few times but fell asleep instantly. I was so so tired. In addition, a lot of good events are happening during waking, but a lot of new challenges to succeed are happening as well, so that influenced a lot. After I write this down (I have been sooooooo busy the whole day, nonstop until know) I will go to play cards with friends, and tomorrow another busy day, so this night is a dangerous one! But who knows, maybe I recall tons of dreams like I usually do, lol

First and only dream:

It was sunny outside, but I was at home. I was with a few DC and I was playing a game. My brother was younger and he was with my parents as well. I was surprised because my brother came without clothes, he wore only bad-aids, several of them around the entire body. He looked miserable, he had wounds everywhere around his body. He had one broken arm and a broken leg.

I asked my mom what happened and she told me she would let me know later. They came from a party.

Missed Dream Signs:
- My brother and parents.

What I would have done if lucid:
- Probably nothing, really, go nuts as it was right after going to sleep so it was going to be a super short dream anyway.

A Dream? Or a real alien invasion!

My family and I were waiting for my mom to get home from the doctor. She got back and we found out she had cancer, so she didn’t have much time left. I went to some corporate location with my family and ran into Amanda(my cousin). We decided we had to save my Mom. We went into the buildings and found secret passageways and elevators. We knew we had to get to a secret top floor room to find the cure for cancer. Fox(from WANTED) showed up and helped us out some. She showed us another elevator. We got in and it opened up to a top floor suite and my high school teacher was there. I was shocked she knew the cure.

Then I was on my porch all of the sudden at a cookout. I went inside and a mysterious, dark haired guy was there. He came in from the bathroom skylight and did all these weird ninja flips and stuff. He landed and introduced himself as NateLec. He gave me some sneakers to give to my little cousin. Then we went outside and the sky turned an ominous black as dark clouds swirled overhead. I clung to my friend who was standing nearby. I was really scared. Then tons of tornadoes came down form the sky and they were coated in yellow, acidic bubbles. I kept thinking to myself ‘This is a dream please wakeup!’ It did not work so I decided this was a dream and I was still asleep or it was a real alien invasion.
