non-lucid

This dream was clear despite my horribly disturbed sleep in the past week of my vacation. Anyhow:

I started off looking at a bunch of horses. I was with my mom at a ranch waiting for a trail ride. I looked at all the horses; most of them resembled ones I know, whether it was by their markings or tack.

Eventually I was riding a pony that resembled BU. He was small but sturdy; I was surprised they would put me on him. For some reason his saddle and red blanket were absolutely huge. It also was fairly uncomfortable.

Then I was with my class. We were playing some sort of game that involved three teams. Each team had a little plastic figure that represented them, and everyone took one. My team was the red team. I cantered over fast to the green team for some reason, but then returned to the red. VI was there, gaping at how fast I was going. The pony's belly was firm but responsive to my legs. I veered him around the pack of people that were running along the field and I raced past them. Then VI was there and she wanted to switch horses. I jumped off of mine and hastily made for her dark-coated horse. By the time I had mounted and was just about to run off, the dream, to my dismay, faded.

Stayed at a hotel last night. Had two false awakenings. It was bizarre..these both happened in the morning. I had several dreams, but don't remember them.

The phone rings. (FA) I reach over and pick up the phone. It's my boss. We start talking about something important, but I can't hear him. The maid is coming in to clean the room. I'm trying to tell her to come back later, and all the while my boss is talking to me. I grow angy and upset that I can't get the maid to leave...fall back to sleep

FA, I get up and start to get dressed...fall back to sleep


Conditions:
Fell asleep: 2:30am
WBTB: Several times.

COMMENT LUCID NON LUCID DREAM SIGN

My Dream Guardian is on a 2 year and 2 weeks vacation!!! (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I got three dreams tonight. I went to bed pretty late. One lucid tonight.

Third:

I was with my wife at home and we were talking. Suddenly, she started to run and she jumped to the bed. She started to roll, she fell from the bed and kept rolling. She kept rolling until she was by the closet. It appeared she was having an epileptic attack. I was worried for her and I asked her if everything was OK. She grabbed me and started to kiss me with a lot of passion. She pulled my clothes from me. She wanted to have sex so badly, so we started to have sex, the dream faded.

I had a FA in my room. I was alone in bed now. I could hear the TV and I realized that my wife was watching TV. It was very dark outside and I was confused why my wife was not in bed. I did not want to move from bed. I was trying to recall a dream I just had, however, the sound of the TV bothered me. It was an odd situation so I decided to do a reality check. I checked my hands.

My middle finger was thicker than usual, so I realized that something was wrong and I was dreaming. I got off from bed and pinched my nose. I could breath perfectly. I decided to jump to test the gravity. I floated for around three seconds. I went to my living room. I did not hear the TV anymore but I did not care. I opened the door. It was night. The exterior was as the same than waking. I took flight. I flew over my neighborhood towards downtown. The clarity of the dream was excellent. I kept flying until my dream completely stabilized. I landed and I started to walk around. I felt like going to pee, but I remembered I read someone's post about peeing for real in bed while lucid, so I avoided trying it.
I saw a bridge about 15 feet tall. I saw five dream characters looking at me from the bridge. I levitated and flew slowly towards the bridge. They looked surprised. I walked by them but I did not exchange words with them.

I passed by a house that had several plants. I touched the leaves of the plants and I could feel the leaves were humid. The leaves had small drops of water and they were cold. The quality and texture of the leaves were perfect. I looked towards the sky and I could see every single detail and every single star. I started to fly again and I though about summoning my Dream Guardian. I have never met him / her before so I wanted to attempt.

I started to walk again. I was in the middle of a big street. It was almost empty. I saw around two to three dream characters. There were a few parked cars, but no one on the road. I said out loud, "I want to talk with my Dream Guide" A woman dressed like a USPS employee walked by. She stopped and turned. She walked towards me and she said, "You will have to wait another two years and two weeks. Temel is gone." I was wondering what was that. I blamed that I might not had a lot of control during that step. She told me, "Why don't you come with me for a few minutes?" I replied, "I guess it will be fine. I am lucid dreaming right now so I can spend some time." She walked ahead of me, but I followed her. We got into a very small room, however, it was very well lit. She told me that my Dream Guide worked with her, but she was gone on vacation for a couple of years. I told her, "I know. I will ask the dream to bring me to her!" She replied, "That rude. Do not do that!" I explained to her, "Oh, OK. Well, I want to meet Temel. I have been lucid dreaming since I was a kid without knowing the meaning of these words. Now that I know the meaning of them, I want to meet with her!!"

I realized the room had several mirrors. I wanted to look at my reflection. It first looked normal but then, I looked two additional times. I saw a familiar face, but it was not mine. It changed every time I looked at the mirror.

The mail woman handed me a small receipt. The receipt had her phone number and her e-mail. She asked me to keep it. I told her it would be impossible to bring the paper to waking, so I was going to attempt to remember the e-mail and the phone number. Her e-mail ended in @yahoomail.com Before the @ there was a very short name, like Ruth or Beth. I tried to read but I was not able. I realized that the dream was stable so I tried again. The dream faded instantly. I though in spinning but it was too late and I woke up.

Missed Dream Sign:
- My wife's odd behavior.
- The FA.

Noticed Dream Signs:
- My wife was watching TV late at night.

Reality Check Performed:
- Hand Check
- Nose Pinch.
- Gravity Check.

I had a dream where I was choosing hard drvies to put into some computer, and I chose SCSI drives because they are awesome. I was trying to connect them but they had these weird connections to the motherboard

Another part of my dream involved magic and stuff.

OMFG I JUST REMEMBERED there was a spider in my dream *shudders* I feel sick thinking of it hahaha. Like...it wasn't just an ordinary spider. It was massive and hairy, with legs about 1cm thick and 10cm long. I had to go through this thing (more than once) where I would run through some checkpoint and it would jump onto my neck from behind while I was running through. And then I had to flick it off. o_O But sometimes its legs would get stuck between my head and shoulder, and it would be difficult to swipe away. Oh man.
I was running with someone else, some guy, and there was this other guy watching what we were doing and looking over us, like a mentor or teacher or instructor or something. The guy I was running with went and asked the mentor for advice on his Adam's apple, because apparently it was hanging too low or something weird like that. It was the side effect of SOMETHING, I don't know what.

And then there was the magical part. There were some of my relatives from Philippines there. Mostly my older Aunties I think. Anyway, there was this really weird arrangement of tables and they were underwater. I think I will try to sketch it. (No I won't do that because it looks terrible ).
And there was some person I was following (who resembled my mum somewhat) that told me to stay above water because most of the evil people just stayed underwater because they didn't know how to go above water or something along those lines. So we were diving round above water (but still kind of swimming ) and there were all these weird shrine-like things that looked underwater-y. I can't remember much more than that.

I was standing ontop of a big hill overlooking a city. I watched as two huge transformers were walking through the city smashing everything in sight. Ash, Chris and a random old lady were there with me. I was telling the guys how the scene was composited well and it looked beleivable. Then all of a sudden we were down by the water and the old lady asked us to hop on her boat. It was a big boat and we all hopped on. The old lady and Chris were saying how cool creed was, I didnt agree with them and they didnt look too happy. The water was extremly rough, the boat was rocking all over the place. All of a sudden the boat rocked up so far and I saw the water smash over the side of the boat. I woke up.


I remember being in oblivion, I wasnt holding a sword but could see my hand out ready to cast a spell. I realised I must be dreaming but the dream instantly started to destabilize. I remembered what I did last time so I went into autopilot mode and just watched my dream self for a few seconds and the dream became clearer. I must have left it too long and slipped non-lucid. I remember a fragment being back in Oblivion and had a cool staff on enchanting. It was a wooden staff with a little leaf on the top.

MILD Classes starting! (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I got three dreams tonight. I went to bed pretty late. One lucid tonight.

First:

I was managing the students profiles for my MILD classes. I accepted a few last minute students that wanted to join my class. I also had to reject a couple of students that for some reason did not meet the criteria. The classes were going to take place indoors. The class was more like a small convention center. There was a big dark wooden table in the middle of the room. There were already a few students getting ready for my classes. I woke up feeling good.


Missed dream signs:

- The topic of the class within the dream.

What I would have done if lucid:

- Create a brainstorm session for ideas about how to find my inner sactuary. I was sure someone knew.

This is the beginning of the "re-start" of my dream journal that I started earlier this summer. Just a brief background here, the "sleeping man" (The name was not revealed to me until he had appeared several times) is a character that I run into every once in a while in dreams, and after encountering him in this dream I decided to start my dream journal again.

sat jun 25:

The dream began as my mother and I entered a rustic hotel which I believe was also some kind of hospital. We approached the front desk and the owner warned me that a woman at the end of the hall was nearly dead and I shouldn't disturb her. We walked down the hall toward our room and as we walked we heard screaming at the end of the hall. I entered the room and suddenly I panicked because the blankets looked very itchy (silly thing to be frightened over, I know). In this state of fear, the scene suddenly changed to a scene that I visited several other times during the night: the lights grew dim and any homely pleasantness that the hotel offered me was gone. Suddenly the door slammed open and standing in the doorway was the woman from the end of the hall. At this point I woke up briefly.

At this point I'd like to offer something of an analysis on this portion of the dream. I had this dream after a visit to my great grandmother who at the time was on her deathbed (she has since passed away, may she rest in peace). The dream may have been a kind of a representation of any fear or sadness that I had for the eminent loss of my great grandmother. After a while of thinking, I realized the itchy blankets thing was sort of a forgotten memory about my great grandmother's house where she had many itchy woolen blankets.

The next dream I had continued for the rest of the night and reoccured several times. It starts as I am sitting in a bathtub in a modernly furnished bathroom. It was here that I first encountered "the sleeping man". In this first iteration of the dream, as I sit in the tub, a sudden wave of panic sweeps over me as I notice a dark figure standing behind me in the mirror. The bathroom changes to a darker version of the same bathroom. I try to look back at him, but when I do, he is gone. From this point the dream dissolves.

From the next point I can remember, I am back in the tub in the modernly furnished room. As I look in the mirror instead of something terrifying, I see various acquaintances of mine. I look over at them and the room becomes a train (I remember this train from a dream that I had years ago). The train drops us off in a vast field. Our train had developed a human face of a child and here we meet a whole family of trains. I don't remember much else, but everyone spoke in sound effects which was weird.

And so ended the pleasant portion of this dream. After this I returned to the bathtub scene. This time, in the mirror I saw a woman's face and it spoke to me. It said, "the sleeping man is real John, he is right behind you." The room changed once again to the dark room. The face in the mirror was gone and I could now see the 'sleeping man' behind me. I tried to look back at him, but my head would just snap back to a forward position. I finally turned to look at his legs and I spat at him. I suddenly became blind and I felt a pressure on my face. The sleeping man spat on my face and began pushing me under the water. I woke up.

[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]I'm playing GTA with a lot of players. In the beginning we're just 2-3. When others start coming, they take the cars and go aroung doing GTA-like stuff around the 2-3 of us who were there from the beginning. We're just doing parkour. Now we're also using their cars by standing on top of them when they ride past and other insanity like that.
Theres a little valley, closed kinda place with tall buildings, where all the vehicles spawn. Outside that is a playground. There's a few very small, brightly colored houses with triangle roofs on the playground. On the right side there is a ramp. We're all having fun when we crash. I'm riding ontop of someones car, and I land in a cave on the side of a wall when I jump off, the cave is quite far up in the air, so I'm trapped.. I get some text message telling me I found a secret place, and I was having a for-fun conversation with the driver who was driving the car I flew off, about whether the stunt was well done or not.
I walk in, because I know the only parachute in the level is in here. The cave is big and heavily furnitured, like it is someone's home. I look on the minimap, there's someone ekse in here, I have to kill him- There's a big room, the cave is a vampire coven, the guy stands close to the parachute ([I]A hovering grey sack[/I]) I take my guns which I dual-wield and run up to him, I shoot him and he goes ragdoll. I ask him whe he didn't take it. ([I]over the chat, it's a game, after all.[/I]) He says something like [I]"The last one, is the best one."[/I] as if he were waiting for others to come. He was an elf with hair like the Adoring Fan from Oblivion. I discover that the vampires have a lot of well-selling snacks. I take them all, and save. ([I]Now its Oblivion, rather than GTA.[/I]) I'm thinking about making a good and rich kind of Vampire character.[/COLOR]
Some of the snacks the vampires had were those long, jelly-like things covered in sugar but still taste quite sour.

[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]My family is at a party with many old people, my mom says I can just sit down on the chair on the other side of the table, by a window at the end of the table. I check Skype to see if all the guests have arrived. A song that I don't know is being played, two dwarves lead a dance, while many of the old people are dancing in a crowd behind the dwarves. One of the dwarves is a man and the other a woman, they are both wearing black clothes, the woman is wearing a red scarf.[/COLOR]

[B]#13[/B]
[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]I'm lying in a bed. There's a 'bag' of popcorn. It falls over, there's now popcorn everywhere. There's also sleeping pills, they are pink and orange, and something of powder. I take some of it.
I'm in a bus, talking to K about all those nasty things on the internet, like NEDM with the cat being burned alive and other such cruelties.
I'm in a garden. The place is really messy, overgrown and with stuff lying all over the place. There's a fence and a shed to the right. There's a fourwinged, red boomerang stuck in the fence. I take it and go inside the house. There's soda and food on the table. I got the boomerang in my hand, I take some from the table.[/COLOR]

[B]#12[/B]
[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]I'm in a ruin, the ground is grassy with some gravel, the rocks on the old castle are red.
Me and P throwing sticks at each other for fun, yet they are clearly big enough to cause damage if we were to be hit.
I had 3 Cocoa Milks to carry, and a lot of sticks, which was quite bothersome and I'm having a lot of trouble not dropping them.
I run away from P a few times, in the end I decided to go another way, but he found me and followed me, we stopped there, and I think the dream ended. "I figured you would take another route!"[/COLOR]
A good representation of how I used to feel while being around P, which is one of my friends I used to hang out with in 7th to 9th grade. When we were out and about, we always ended up buying a shitload of stuff and then go to our bikes and cycle off to somewhere. This would many times result in me carrying a cola and a bag with some food. We also sometimes did things that would make me feel "on the edge", the same kind of feeling you'd have in my dream; The feeling of getting a kick out of it, but still having some adrenaline-like feeling due to the fact that you know this could blow up in your face. ([I]Sometimes literally[/I])

Well it was my first night recalling my dreams and actually writing them down. I had three really weird dreams. I woke up on my own between each one and before i went back to sleep each time i kept repeating to myself to have a dream and remember it.


First Dream. 2:17 AM

I dont remember too much of it. I think there was a small line of people. Maybe eight across and two people thick. A man with a stubby beard looked like the last time he shaved was between the last six and ten days. I'm pretty sure I remember that man saying something. I think he said "In the line of the lamb". Or someting like that. I know there was something about a lamb in it. When i woke up i was very confused. I've thought about that line 'In the line of the lamb' trying to figure out what it means but i just cant seem to. Anyways. Very short dream.


Second Dream 6:22 AM

This ones alittle hard to explain. And like the first one, I dont remember to much of it. Picture everything as if everything including the sky was covered in cereal crumbs. Everything had its normal color, it just looked almost like static or like it was crusty. The whole dream consists of a middle aged man doing construction work. Probably because there was construction work outside of my appartment being done but anyways, the man in my dream was wearing an orange hardhat and a faded blue button up and he was in farely good shape as well. He was using a jack hammer to the road. He looked like he was angry at the road but he might have just been lost in concentration. It was a short dream and consisted of one thing like i said, but kept hold of my interest. This dream might have been longer and led to other things but the real construction workers outside woke me up.


Third Dream 6:50 AM

I dont remember this one more than the other two. It was a farely long dream but i only remember the first part. It was very strange. All that was going on(in the part i remember) was I was racing one of my friends in grocery shopping. It was like speed grocery shopping. We were riding on the carts and going as fast as we can. I think there were other people too like from some camp or something that we were apart of but they had on a camp shirt and we didnt. I think the shirt was yellow with green writing but what it said, I have no clue. Anyways, our moods were playful. The light in the grocery store was some what dim. And I think at one point the camp leaders or something lost us and went on without us. My friend and I seemed to have even more fun. Until my firend went on to find them outside and I wanted to follow him but it was dark outside it looked like it was 11 at night or so and i couldnt see him. So I went to a corner of the parking lot and I heard him call my name and i smiled and hopped in the car. Now that i think of it, Im pretty sure that was the whole dream.


Like I said, three very odd, short dreams in one night. But im proud of what I remembered since it was my first night of writing in my dream journal.

[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]I'm on a vacation with my family on Iceland.
On a street with a fisherman who sells knives and stuff like that. He was roleplaying a pirate. He's standing in a wooden hut with only a roof, no walls. He is sharpening his knives.
Some men on the other side of the street sold big furry hats in vibrant colors like a bright pink, yellow, green and blue.
Now we're at a water slide in a very jungle-like place, not far from the place we were before. I met someone who was walking the other way who said hi to me, but I didn't recognize them. It's a lady and a child that comes UP the slide, for some reason.
Me, my mother and my little brother take the slide, I bump into them a couple of times, and my mom and my little brother ven fall out of the slide a few times and landed in a lake, but we just laugh at it. The slide ended in the same lake anyways.[/COLOR]

splitting minds follow the sun for each of their how like to travel in many part he see the way of the sections which flow through the mind here now and then between the lines of reality there was once the pond of rivers that dream in minds of fullness and quaint sorrows the section of derivative many moons the whole life the test the plain of red rivers in hollow sections to many of once each his own their own no place to no maids

Bravo? - Lucid - 1/5
Walked around telling dream characters how lucid I am and I'm dreaming right now... Yep. I remember holding a "My Magic Diary" that I was chatting to Naiya about last night. It, apparently, was my proof of lucidity.



Woke up at 5am for my WILD. Failed, because I was so tired I passed out.

The half-way house (work dream)
I had to do a shift at an old site of mine (a halfway house).

I got on site and forgot to check in with the staff. I went into "my room" and started watching TV. A couple of the clients were in there with me.

I needed to change into pajamas for some reason. I took my pants off and realized the guys were still in the room. I didn't move further, they got bored of me and left.

I decided to do a patrol and I realized I haven't checked in yet! I looked at my watch. 9:37 at night. Here's where it's confusing. Earlier, I thought my shift was supposed to be 6p-6a, but at this point, I thought it was 10-6. So I wasn't actually late. Anyways, I went down to the staff room and the girl was on the phone. I apologized for forgetting to check in, I just wanted to jump right into my work. She mentioned she was worried I hadn't shown and she was just trying to find shift coverage, but it's all cool.

Back to bed...

Haunted or scientific?
I was in a room in an old house. It wasn't any house of ours and I knew that, but I was impressed that the layout of the furniture was the same as an old room of mine.

I thought the room was haunted. I had this stuffed animal in hand and there was this weird air current over the bed. It was hard finding the balance, but I got the stuffed animal to hover on its own in mid-air. I left the room to get mum and brought her back to show her.

We got back in the room, and the stuffed animal had fallen over. I was disappointed but I attempted to set the animal back up. My mum explained the air current was coming from somewhere and that it wasn't haunted.

Got woke up by Jack's alarm...

FF7 like adventure
There was a DC boyfriend (we'll call him Colton). This theme carried throughout the dream. Just lots of kissy-face and flirting when we were in scenes together. But I can't remember tons of specifics about them.

A group needed to go into the depths of the earth to defeat the last boss (think FF7 where you keep having to travel downwards into the earth to fight Sephiroth). This group included Colton, but not me for some reason.

There was this big hole with light shining up in the middle of a room. They jumped down the hole, and I got to work on some scrolls at a table in the room. I wrote an incantation on the paper. Then I placed my hands on it and imbued it with light energy. I made up about 10 of them when the party jumped back up the hole. I imagined that someone in the party could toss the scroll in the air and they would be showered with golden healing light as the scroll dissolved.

The party emerged from the hole, looking defeated. One of the girls was nearly in tears, because this boss was very difficult.

"Hey, we're gonna need some scrolls," Colton says.

"Got them all ready for you!" I grinned.
