At the beach with dad. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

My wife's "lovely" bosses sent her one of their usual "Lovely" emails at night, which pissed her off before going to bed. That annoyed me as well and I did not focus on anything. I woke up at 5am with a short fragment, at 6:20 am with another fragment that I was able to recover into an almost full dream. I said to my self I so not wanted to come only with crappy dreams, having a lucid dream was a MUST to make the night at least a little decent. I fell asleep determined and had a lucid. Total of three dreams:

Second:

I was going with my dad to the pool. For some reason I could not drive, so he did. We got to a small forest that was next to a very small beach. I saw some female DC walking by. This beach was like a small lake, but it was sea water. It was one of those tiny beaches that have the water warmer because it does not flow as much as the regular beach.







I told him that it was cool that we went to such a small beach instead of the pool, specially being so small and quiet. I put my swimsuit on. I could see the bigger beach far away and it was crowed. I saw another two female DC. One of them had oddities on her breast (something impossible in waking) We talked with them about swimsuits and looking good on the beach.

Missed dream Signs:
- My dad.
- The breasts of the DC.

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

Funny thing. A couple days ago, I couldn't find the can opener. Now, I have a swiss army knife with a can opener, so I reached into my pocket to find it. I knew that it wasn't in my pocket, but I figured I could will it there.

Wait.

I reality checked and realized that I was awake.

Boring dreams ahead.

08/06/10

I wake up, hearing the phone ring. I stumble out of bed, cursing because I was planning to sleep in and order room service.

Oh, yeah. I'm staying in a hotel. I've been driving for a really long time, and I'm in a big city in the US, I think.

Where is that damn phone? I run out of the hotel room and into the living room. There are a bunch of blue-uniformed maids in there, standing in a circle and gossiping. I ignore them, vaulting over the couch to get to the cordless phone in the far corner of the room.

I pick it up on the last ring, and the answering machine clicks on. The tone goes off, and my uncle Roy starts to leave a message.

"Hey, there. We thought you'd be in town, so -"

"I'm here, Uncle Roy. What's up?"

Roy tells me that the rest of the family is in town, and they want me to come have dinner with them. I tell him, stiffly, that that would be fine. Really.

"Great. We'll pick you up in a half hour."

I try to protest, but he hangs up before I can. Sighing, I hang up the phone, wondering if I have enough time to order room service before I leave. Chances are, nothing my family is serving will be vegetarian.

I'll have to survive on the side dishes, though. I'd rather have a shower.

The rooms have morphed into a hostel-like configuration, with a shared bathroom and living space. Kitchen, too. I rush into the shower before an older woman can take it, and she stalks away, sulking.

When I get out of the shower, at least four of my relatives, all women from my mother's side of the family, are doing dishes in the kitchen. I tell my grandma to leave them alone, since those aren't my dishes, but whatever.

I'm at the supper when I realize my grandma died a few years ago. I rationalize this by deciding that the woman must be her sister (but I use my great grandmother's name).

***

I'm on a ski hill. My skis keep crossing.

I remember that I wanted to go on a hike. One of the trails leading up the mountain will take me to a part where it's summer.

I go to drop off my skis in a locker, then head over to the chair lift. A preteen girl is nervous about getting on the lift, but her family is coaxing her on.

***

I'm wandering around, taking down my posters. They all have writing on them, which is research for the high school newsletter I apparently publish. I'm worried about finishing it before the summer break next week.

The building is supposed to be high school, but it looks more like my old university campus.

I posted a map of the ski resort from the previous dream, but it's a really bad photocopy. A memory plays through the room. A teacher speculates on the source of the posters.

Potluck. Scare Factor: 1.

There are several kids (pre-teens and young teens) on an expedition. They've split into several groups, and I'm in one. We are with an adult in a position of authority and wisdom (a Rupert Giles kind of character).
We are going to pick up someone who's in a cave. But there are also humanoid monsters, sort of lizard people. We spy on them from the cave's entrance, and we watch Giles negotiate with their male leader.
The females of the species seem to be way less civilized, since we can see on eat some food like an animal in a side tunnel.

I am a girl, and have gone to visit my mom's friend V at her house. The house is rather dark, and seems to be crowded wall-to-wall with pool tables and people smoking around them. I walk around and find a secluded corner as I hold my breasts. They have recently expanded, and I'm somewhat clinically analyzing the tropes of breast expansion fiction as they do or don't apply. I seem to be moodier and hornier than usual, for example. As I do this, my breasts start expanding again. With great pleasure I start to stroke them, and soon I orgasm hard, spurting milk. I run past the pool tables to find a bathroom where I can clean myself off, and the crowd laughs scathingly.

So I was trying to save this "girlfriend" of mine, and she was talking to me on my computer via a video chat. Saying to save her and all that yaddle daddle. Anyways, I go through all this trouble of running through crazy courses and such. I meet up with a friendly guy who wants to aid me in my quest to save this girl. I agree to his assistance, and my girl friend video messages me again. I tell her I'm working on saving her and stuff. She tells me the same yaddle daddle, like save me before its to late. After she finishes talking to me, so turns to the guy to my left and says the same thing. I thought that was kind of weird in the dream but I ignored it. So the random guy and I go through some more intense running obstacles or something.

Then my dream decides to flash to a room full of computer programmers who are working, my "girlfriend" shows up and starts to greet them. There all excited to see her and want to work even more after having the conversation with the girl. Then I woke up.

"" When I woke up I wasn't sure I was awake or dreaming, so I got excited and tried to fly. It was a jump in the air and straight back to the floor. luckily I was just imagining this and it didn't really happen. I think Ill just stick to reality checks haha. ""

Me and like three others (don't remember who, except Linus, my brother) were sitting on a railroad, eating various food. As if it was a picnic or something. Suddenly I saw that a train approached fast. I yelled to the others and threw myself of the rails. I remember that I considered grabbing some of the others and throw them off while jumping myself but I didn't do it because there wasn't time for it. It was really chaotic when the train passed by and I worried that someone was hurt. Especially Linus who was in the worst position for getting away.

It turned out that everybody made it without injuries. Shortly after, another train passed by. We saw random people here and there. Suddenly the police arrived and were shooting at some bad guys that respawned after dying. The police was now on some higher altitude platform. I climbed up to them to be safe. I first thought that they were going to shoot me as well, but I raised my hand to indicate that I had no weapons.

The police gave me some gear. It was some vest along with weapons. I was expected to fight back the bad guys. I knew that the next wave was coming in like 10 seconds but I hadn't figured out how to use the weapons and stuff. They arrived when I was not ready at all, so I circled around some container, avoiding the thugs. The thugs were now people from my class and it all was some kind of paintball-ish game or something. I figured out that I had to pull a thing on the weapon and then I could shoot. Then I think I went around a bit and shot at my classmates but I don't really remember.

"'By the look of my handwriting I must have been really tired.""

I was up in Mammoth mountain with my friends Kris, Mike, Nicole, Adam, some random girl and myself. We were all at the beginner course, so I could learn how to snowboard. We had to walk all the way to the top of hill which eventually turned to cement not snow. I then proceeded down the hill snowboarding, I was surprised at my natural talent for the sport and was carving the whole way down the hill. About half ways I noticed I wasn't riding a snowboard but had goofy looking sandals on and was riding with those but it felt as though I was in bindings. After getting to the bottom of the hill I woke up.

Later on that day I was discussing with my friends that I was hoping to realize the impractical use of sandals for snowboarding and become lucid but none the less a great dream.

Me, Sam, and Ken were all in the "living room" (it was supposed to be but we were in my mom's room) of my mom's house. All of a sudden, it got totally dark. I tried turning on some lights put some of the switches wouldn't work. I happened to look out of a window and I saw a guy walking down his driveway dressed up as Santa Claus. It was storming by now. Ken said, "Quick! Go to the basement! There is a creep outside!" So we all ran down our longer than usual hall and proceeded down our longer than usual basement steps. Halfway down, the phone rang. I yelled, "Ken! Go get the phone and the flashlight!" So she ran back upstairs.

Sam and I were too scared to go anywhere, so we waited. About a few minutes later I heard a loud bloodcurdling scream followed by a deep laugh. I told Sam to stay there, and I ran up the stairs and turned the corner to find the multi-purpose room (taken from my dad's house) steps. The laugh was coming from up there. I tried everything to shouting and yelling "hey!" to even throwing pillows to get the guy's attention. Nothing seemed to work. I can still hear his laugh today. *shudder*

I appeared to be in a girl's house/apartment room. We were upstairs in her bedroom playing some games. I was playing on her laptop, and I think she was on her PS3. Suddenly, we heard a siren. The girl skipped to the window, and said, "Oh great." I looked out too, and there was an ambulance parked in her driveway. They were um, watering the grass. LOL.

So we went downstairs and then we heard the doorbell. I opened the door and it was the 3 guys from the ambulance. I forgot what they said, but they were just standing there. Then I saw my friend Mike bound through the door and walk upstairs. I closed the door on them and ran ahead of Mike up the stairs. Once up there, the girl offered Mike a controller. He said no thanks. Then I woke up.

-The Hallway-
All I can remember was this: I was walking down a hallway and all of a sudden some jerk guy about my age tripped me. I think he fell on me too, and started flirting with me! Later on, I recognized one of my friends who I don't see very often. She told me who that guy was. It was a very familiar name but I just can't remember it.

-Elephant Mascot-
Long story short, I had a dream in which I raised a baby elephant. The elephant eventually got really big. He was wearing a shirt and cap..lol. Later on I could not find him and discovered that he had jumped into a tub of water and tried to stop the flooding. (There was apparently a flood in the old school) I'm not sure where he was a while later, and I walked over to a fountain/sink. I turned on the faucet then turned it off. I had two friends beside me. I remember this very clearly; we all saw 2 tiny baby elephants in the sink. I heard the girl to my left say, "That is the most amazing thing i've seen in my entire life."

I had a dream in which my surprisingly demonic older sister tortured my cat Sunshine.
Anyways,
It started out where i noticed I was in some kind of OR. I looked around and saw my Ken (older sister) standing there. Beside her was Sunshine, sprawled out on a gurney. Ken wheeled the gurney into the nearest room, and I followed. I looked down for a moment and noticed that Sunshine did not look normal..sort of human-ish. I squinted and saw, that my older sister had cut Sunshine's paw off.
She was um, holding it in her hand. Ken raised a knife and she said, "Time for surgery." with an evil smirk.

I then appeared outside of my church. It was nighttime. Ken was holding Sunshine, so I took her away from Ken. Then to my horror, I saw something was stuck up through Sunshine's chin and mouth, a pin. I cried and held her, but it didn't seem to be doing any good. She was suffocating, and I had no idea what to do. A group of people started gathering, and Sam was there too. I gave Sunshine to her, then glared at Ken. She gave me the most creepy demonic stare. Her eyes were yellow and red, sort of like olives. Lol. But still, it looked demonic.

Last night, I had several dreams. This is the only one I recall, and I only remember a fragment, but what is really a bummer, is that I questioned the dream, and did a reality check, but passed! I therefore concluded that I WAS NOT dreaming! The reality check was something new. I tried to push a finger through the palm of my hand. I recognized the dream sign, and did this immediately. The problem is that my finger did NOT go through my hand! I've got to go back to just checking my hands; it's much more effective.

I am at the beach. I am near the shoreline. The sea is raging (think the movie "300") filled with foam and swells. It doesn't seem to actually come on shore, but just rage out a bit from the surf line. Suddenly it freezes. Not like ice, but suspended animation; it just stops moving. Hey, wait a minute, water doesn't do that. I look down and try to force my index finger through my hand. No good, it must not be a dream. I start to run. Others are running as well. The ocean then "unfreezes" and continues. It continues to freeze and unfreeze as I move through my dream. The sky is sunny and the weather is nice. Everyone is focused on the ocean. A water fountain appears. The water is moving as usual until it suddenly takes a shape and rises up in the form of a buddha like person. A Buddha made of water. I am fascinated, and so is everyone else. We start to move closer, and it collapses into water again....

Conditions:
Fell asleep: 1:00am

Lots of food before bed

COMMENT LUCID NON LUCID DREAM SIGN

Last night I again failed to gain lucidity due to a failed WBTB attempt and evidently zero ability to see dreamsigns. Damn it.

To start, I was with a girl. She's someone I used to be really good friends with when I went to school with her my sophomore year before I moved schools again, and we almost hooked up several times, so that was on both our minds as we interacted in the dream. I hung out with her a few days ago when I was visiting where she lives, so I assume that's why she showed up in-dream. I remember we were trying to find some privacy so we could have sex essentially, but my mom was talking to us downstairs in a house we used to live in, but surprisingly not the house we lived in when I went to school with this girl (whom we'll call "LN"). LN and I finally manage to get away from my mother, and when I stand up from the couch I realize my yellow underwear are around my ankles. My mom looks at me funny, and it's as though she knows that I'm about to go upstairs with LN and do something. She doesn't say anything though and I just pull them up around my waist and LN and I start walking up the stairs. I hear her mention something about my current girlfriend as we make our way upstairs (who is not LN, in case you were wondering), and I feel guilty for a moment, but continue on. It's then that things get crazy.

LN grabs a condom from her bag (which is, oddly enough, the clearest looking object of the dream) and we head over to my room. For some reason the upstairs of this house now looks like a totally different house we used to live in, my childhood home. We walk over to my room and suddenly I see through the window my cousin walking up to the door. What's different about him now is that he has a huge beard and really long hair though, which is another dreamsign I didn't pay much attention to. I suddenly forget all about LN and walk over to the door, and as he opens it I say "Son of a bitch!" and wrap my arms around him in a hug, evidently because I haven't seen him in a while (which is true, at least). He walks in sheepishly and sets his bag down. I remember back to an earlier dream that night which involved me discussing with my grandmother why my cousin's mom married my uncle (who isn't my cousin's biological father). She kept saying that it was only for my cousin, so that he could have a normal life.

Night falls suddenly. There are now tons of people outside my house (the house that I originally thought it was is on seven and a half acres of land, so there's a huge party going on down there). I look at LN apologetically, still really wanting to just go to bed with her, but I walk outside to check it out. There are tables set up everywhere with music and food. There are also rows of folding chairs, among which LN sits down with a girl that I recognize from my high school. Apart from her though I recognize no one else in the crowd and soon hear word that this is a high school graduation celebration of sorts for Logan Neutral High School, which definitely doesn't exist. I walk around for a while, watching as students give presentations about their favorite teachers on a huge stage with an equally huge projector. I suddenly run into a girl that I used to know (and sort of be interested in) named RS. She gives me a hug and I put my arms around her waist, feeling how much thinner she feels compared to when we were younger but realizing she also still has some love handles on her. We talk for a while, about what I don't remember, still hugging, and I worry for a moment that LN will see me and become jealous.

Later I see a really huge African American girl with boobs hanging out of her shirt for some reason. Then, for whatever reason, I see a kid three years younger than me that I played with in the band at MY high school that I'm friends with and walk up to him.

"Who planned this party?" I ask.

"Mrs. B******," he responds. Mrs. B happens to be my best friend's girlfriend's mom.

"Son of a bitch," I say, but then I realize that Mrs. B is standing right next to me. I pretend not to see her and walk away. I see LN sitting and talking in the row of folding chairs, and she calls out to me.

"Hey look, I just got braces," she says, showing me her teeth. I see braces there and try not to be shallow, and still wanting very much to have sex with her, but my face must look disappointed because she laughs and smiles wider, and suddenly the braces are gone. I now see braces on her fingernails. My hope is replenished for eventually getting with her, but suddenly I find myself in a train car and LN isn't there. I know it's a train car because there are seats like in a train car, but it doesn't appear that we are moving. It's almost like we're hanging inside from the very high ceiling of some building.

I look down and out the window and see what appears to be a sitting area with several nice cushy chairs and some flat screen TVs mounted on the wall. I hear a voice that says, "This is Logan Neutral High School," and I look over to see a fairly attractive young girl sitting in one of the train seats with a guy whose face I don't remember. I quickly look back at the sitting area below, afraid the train will start moving before I can see it again, then realize I recognize the sitting area. I tell the girl that I've been here before for a marching band competition, even though now that I'm awake I know there's no such place. The last thing I remember seeing is her face--long brown hair, sort of wavy, framing a face of the purest complexion with eyes dark as night.

I really need to identify dreamsigns.

I had pretty good recall last night... just no lucids.

Dream 1:

I had a dream that my dad entered into a contest to win two Alienware M15x and won. I remember being really excited but asked him why he did that (We both already have an M11x IWL). I also remember feeling the texture of the sides of the computer, etc...

Dream 2 (**Possibly Shared**):

This dream was quite strange... I was captured by terrorists and they put me into this training camp for some reason. They put me into this place where there was other people my age, and we all had pistols. We were instructed to shoot at each other, I shot all the rounds in my clip, and then I got shot in the head with a bullet. Apparently, the bullet must of not gone through my skull for some reason. (My Dream Self must have a thick skull ) Anyway, after that happened in the dream I was thinking, "Oh shit, I got shot in the head! But why didn't it kill me?" I SHOULD of done a reality check after that, but no... I didn't. The next thing I remember seeing is my dad for some reason walking around talking to terrorists. After that, my attention was dragged back to the instructor, who gave me another clip of ammo for my pistol, he then instructed us to shoot at each other. I again, depleted my clip, and got shot in the head. I remember a slomo shot just for like 1 second of the bullet coming towards me. I got knocked over this time, but it still didn't kill me. The last thing that I remember about this dream is my dad doing something to my head which raised the blood pressure to cause the bullets to pop out of my skull the way that they entered. When he did this in the dream I lost my vision for a second, and felt pressure in my head. Next I felt the bullets pop out and clatter to the ground while feeling warm blood trickle down my face.

Dream 3 (**Possibly Shared**):

I had a dream where I was playing Halo with my best friend IWL. He is Mynden on these forums. IWL, he has only beat me like 2-3 times ever, and this didn't change in the dream . The first thing that happened was apparently we were playing Reach because I kept assassinating him the way that you do in Reach. The dream didn't feel like you were playing Halo, more of actually being your person. So for awhile that's all we did, talk smack, and I kept killing him. Anyway after awhile something happened that scared me and him, there was a strange dot on my radar in game, it wasn't a solid dot like usual, it was a swirly, non solid dot that was red, signifying it was hostile. In the dream, I asked Mynden if he saw that same thing and he said he did. I used my radar to find where this thing was, and I found it. When it saw me it started to run away, down into a place I have never seen in any Halo map. There was this gravity lift that was a purplish color, built into a wall, the ghostly thing went down into it, and I followed. When I got into the gravity lift, I looked down, and there was this big black entity that had a bunch of black spheres inside of it. I got the idea that the spheres were spirits. I reached down and tried to grab one of the spheres inside of the entity, but I couldn't. The next thing I remember is the dream setting changing, the gravity lift was still there, Mynden was gone, and the entity was still there. But below us was an ocean, and a base that was under attack in the ocean. It seemed like every time someone died in the battle below us another black sphere would go inside of the entity. I floated down from the place and went to the ground. I was completely ignored in the battle for some reason, and the last thing I remember from the dream is a nuclear, or some massive, explosion going off into the base while I was right next to it, probably ending this entire battle by killing everyone.

These next two dreams are really fragmented.

Dream 4:

Before going to bed, I was talking to someone that I Role Play with on World of Warcraft about possibly attempting to induce a dream where I was my troll character or was with both of our troll characters (Our chars are sisters). The reason for this is to see what we could develop out our characters from my dream state. As for the dream, I don't really remember anything about it other than I was either my character, or I was with my character doing something.

Dream 5:

This dream is the most vague of all of the dreams I recalled last night, and it's probably because I have spent so much energy remember all of the other ones, because I had a good idea of all of these dreams the moment after I had them, but not so much when I went to go write them down. Now that I go to write down this dream... I honestly do not remember it anymore.

At first I was at home, or something like that. Maybe I was at a cottage or something, but I was with my mom. I held a red thermos in my hand, which was filled with cold pink lemonade. The stuff was pleasantly sweet with a hint of tartness.

Then my mom decided that we had to go to another continent; I think it was Europe or Asia or something. We had just gotten off the plane, and were standing on a street. Then we went to some wedding party, and I was with my class. There were only about 6 of us, and we all wore red shirts. We had to set up something for the bride; when the music started playing, we would then all follow her. We were also supposed to put on these white veils, but I was too late to get one from the storage room in that gym, and so I had none. I feared I would be scolded for lacking one. But then I realized that the rest of the class was here too, and only the few that had gotten the veils adorned them.

Somehow this turned into me and KA playing a game, or something. There was pasta and pasta sauce, and I started making it. Then there was some other food, and I wondered what it would taste like with the pasta sauce. I told KA and she said she had been thinking the same thing. I shrugged and decided to try it; it was quite nasty.

And then I was outside again on the sidewalk, walking hastily to where we had come to meet my mom. Apparently we were going home. As I did so I drank from the thermos. I had topped it off before with water and coffee apparently, and so I tasted each layer of flavor: first the coffee, then the water, and finally the succulent lemonade.

In the next dream I was at some sort of beach area. My mother told me that we had just come from my school and now we were going to walk down this place to the end to meet the heir and then walk back.
"Heir or mayor?" I asked.
"The heir," she replied.
"The heir of what?"
"The cottage."

I said something along the likes of the cottage not being worth it, but we kept on walking.

The place had random pools and random water everywhere. There was some ditch in a hill that held a pool, water randomly flooding some parts of the road, and a vast lake to the left. The water was absolutely beautiful. It was a rich, bright, green-hinted blue, and ever so clear.

Somehow I had my purple bikini on. I walked around like this not caring. I also had a shirt, a pair of goggles, and a bike helmet on. Some guy riding a motorcycle raced past us and whistled at me. I then took the shirt, which suddenly turned longer, and let it cover me. But yet two other people whistled at me, even in the long black shirt and my bike helmet and goggles.

I later felt the helmet on my head and decided it must look pretty stupid since I wasn't riding a bike. I took it off, but fumbled with it for a good minute. Then I took my goggles off, and realized that my helmet was magically on my head again. I struggled with all this stuff, and at the same time tried to pour a bucket of water over my head. I felt the water push the goggles down on my eyes; it hurt a fair bit. But finally all the stuff was off, and I held all of it in my hands. The dream ended there.
