non-lucid

Last night seemed like 2 separate dreams. I've been having a hard time remembering what order things occur in. However, all the images and events are very clear individually. I'll try to put things in order as best I can.
Fragment:
I walked down the hall in my dream house to the bathroom where my mom was drying her hair. I picked up a second hair dryer and started drying my own. Miraculously, my hair was short, straight, and sexy as hell! (In RL I have a bushy afro.)

Dream:
In the beginning, there was a flash flood. Looking out the kitchen door, the water seemed to flow uphill, which i knew in the dream was in contradiction to my real house. I walked to another side of the house and watched the water roll down the hill out from a pine grove and crash into the house gently like waves. When the water cleared, people started showing up at the house and I had no clue why. The only two faces that I remember distinctly out of the 100 or so that ended up in the dream were my mother's and that of a guy named Julian, who i hardly know. People kept showing up and it turned into a party. This change didn't occur smoothly. The dream seemed to skip around and my dream house's interior completely changed (to all wood. It was quite nice, actually.) By the time the dream was solid again, everybody was totally smashed. I went upstairs to my dream-sister's room. (I call her that because she neither looked like nor had anything to do with my RL sister.) There were about 4 or 5 kids sleeping up there. I was looking for something but I didn't know what so I felt stupid for even being in my sister's room. I remember vividly seeing while searching, a magic 8-ball still in the package, and a stack of Nintendo DS games including some versions of Pokemon that don't exist (yet? Maybe I foresaw the future of Pokemon?!? 0.o) I don't remember anything after that and I don't remember where or how the dream ended.

this one is really short. im outside, i don't know where i am IRL, but i was looking at something on the ground. it was like a map of the area, drawn with small white stones or something. then my parents walk out of this house, and ask me how im doing. i say something like "im gettin there...", and they walk over. i think we then start to leave, my stepdad says i need to make that thing again (he actually says a food but i don't remember), and my mom says she'll help, i think. thats all i remember, except looking at a particular stone, and it had a symbol on it, i don't remember it though.

lol this one was funny. im inside this store, i think its home depot because were around these shelves with wood and carpet and other stuff. the floor is wooden at the start, but later it turns into tile. anyway, im with my sister and neighbor, were just standing around, when suddenly either me or K (neighbor) throws a handful of bird seed at each other, starting a big seed fight. i run off and hide behind a shelf. i see him and grab a handful of seeds, then jump out and throw them at him, but i think it misses. he then swings this really long yard stick at me, which i stop and grab right out of his hand, much to the surprise of everyone there. then this dude walks over, and we all run, i think he was the manager or something, coming to yell at us for throwing the seeds. thats all i remember.

[PT] Sonhei que eu havia baixado um jogo de RPG Maker 2000 de parkour. O jogo era em 3D, e era possível fazer várias manobras, como correr, pular, pulo duplo e até salto mortal! O objetivo era correr dentro de uma casa e pegar todas as moedas, sendo que algumas eram praticamente inalcansáveis. Enquanto você ia jogando, o jogador mudava automaticamente, isso deixava o jogo bastante estressante.

[EN] I dreamed that I had downloaded a parkour game for RPG Maker 2000. The game was in 3D, and it was possible to make several tricks, such as running, jumping, double jump and somersault! The goal was to run inside a house and get all the coins, and some were virtually unreachable. While playing, the character changed automatically. This left the game fairly stressful.

[PT] Sonhei que meu irmão tinha feito aniversário, e ganhou um Ipad. No dia seguinte, ele foi trabalhar, mas esqueceu o Ipad em casa. Então, eu o levei para a escola. No intervalo, eu fiquei tentando usá-lo, tentei descobrir como funcionava. Quando eu desisti, fui para o ginásio procurar meus amigos. Eu os encontrei lá, mas havia duas garotas (Daniela e Gabriela) que queriam ver o Ipad. Elas raramente falam comigo, na hora já pensei "Nossa, como elas são interesseiras!".
Elas estavam insistindo para ver o Ipad, e eu dizia que era do meu irmão, mas elas não queriam saber. Resolvi sair do ginásio e ir conversar com alguém lá fora. Daniela continuava insistindo para mexer no Ipad. Desisti e cedi-o para ela. Ela também não sabia mexer nele, então ficamos tentando descobrir como usá-lo. Ela me devolveu o Ipad e sentamos em um banco, junto com várias pessoas. Eu me levantei e vi que ela estava ficando com Emanuel. Na hora que eu fui me sentar no banco, ele virou e todos caíram. Pedi desculpas, mas o Emanuel disse até que tinha sido bom. ~

[EN] I dreamed that my brother had birthday, and won an Ipad. The next day he went to work but forgot the Ipad at home. So I took it to school. In the interval, I was trying to figure out how it worked. When I gave up, I went to the gym looking for my friends. I found them there, but there were two girls (Daniela and Gabriela) who wanted to see the Ipad. They rarely speak to me, so I thought "Wow, they are so self-serving."
They were insisting to see the Ipad, but I said it was my brother's, but they did not wanted to know. I decided to leave the gym and talk to someone outside. Daniela was still insisting to use the Ipad. I gave up and gave it to her. She also doesn't know how to use it, so we tried to figure out how to use it. She returned the Ipad and we sat on a bench, along with several people. I got up and saw that she was kissing Emanuel. When I went to sit on the bench, it fell, along with everybody. I apologized, but Emanuel said it had been good. ~

[PT] Ontem a noite, eu assisti Príncipe da Pérsia: As areias do tempo no cinema. Então, eu sonhei com isso. Sonhei que havia saído do cinema, era meia-noite, e me dirigi a uma loja próxima (que, inclusive, tinha um poster do Gasparzinho). Vi que a loja estava fechada, então resolvi ir para casa a pé (o cinema estava perto da minha casa, mas na verdade não é). No caminho havia um homem andando a pé também, mas estava andando devagar. Logo, passei por ele. Eu estava passando por uma esquina, que tinha uma cerca de madeira, e ele falou: "Eu só queria voltar...". Eu responde: "É, eu também!". O homem falou novamente: "Pra tocar terror!". Ao me deparar que eu seria assaltado, comecei a correr. Peguei várias ruas para despistá-lo. Devido ao medo que senti, acabei por acordar. Mas acabei me mexendo, e perdi a chance de fazer um DEILD!

[EN] Yesterday, I watched Prince of Persia: The sands of time in the cinema. So, I dreamed about it. I dreamed I left the cinema, it was midnight, and I went to a nearby store (that had a poster of Casper). I saw the store was closed, so I decided to go home on foot (the cinema was near my house, but it isn't in the real life). On the way, I saw a man taking a walk, but he was walking slowly. I was walking faster, and I passed him. I was going through a corner, when he said: "I just wanted to come back...". I replied: "Yeah, me too.". The man spoke again: "To kill!". When I realized I was going to be assaulted, I started running. I picked up several streets to foil him. Due the fear I felt, I woke up and I moved myself. I just lost a chance for DEILD!

I recall little of the beginning, but it might have been the night (or morning) before work. Melanie (co-worker from Subway) was in bed with me, but we weren't playing around like that. It was more "slumber party", than sexual. I remember setting the alarm, angry at Melanie for some reason.

Cut to the car; we are driving down the road, my lap desk is on the roof of the car, or in front - not sure. But I'm concerned for my belongings, so I bring it inside. I take out my laptop and pen tablet; Melanie is watching and in the back seat. Not sure who's driving, lol.

I want to go to a store before work, I look at a clock in my mother's kitchen to gage the time (should have known then I was dreaming, being "suddenly" in my mother's kitchen) and determine I have 15 minutes to get to this store. However, my dad has to get money from the bank. He drives us into the parking lot; it's empty, but he tries the door anyway. The bank is closed. We leave, and I mention something that he should have known the bank was closed since no one was parked outside. He makes some flippant comment back, but I can't remember what it was.

Back to the house and Melanie is unconcerned with getting to work on time. I'm getting pissed at her, not for being late for work, but I really want to get to this store (have no clue what store it was, but I really wanted to go). Mom gives me marshmallows for some reason, says I should eat. I put one in my mouth, but then take it out and set it on the counter. Melanie it doing something with laundry, or is in the laundry room doing something, not sure what because -

Outside, we are getting ready to leave. These people show up, a few college-type guys, and a lady with short, blond curly hair. She is carrying munchies and a large butcher knife. This gives me pause, but Melanie assures me she's cool. The woman affirms this with a grin and shakes the chips in her hand. We all pile into the car, and I'm annoyed I'm smushed against the door. The door itself becomes only a frame, a yellow steel frame I have to lock or it'll open while we're moving. I don't want to fall out.

Now I'm outside a house, it's fancy, maybe a mansion. There is a gondola on the roof, lit up and with windows. Everyone that was in the car is inside, frightened by all the water on the floor, running from the sinks. No one can shut them off. I know there is something nasty inside the house, waiting to hurt people.

To confirm this, my awareness goes to the gondola, where Melanie is there with two children. I can't remember the details of the children, just a boy and girl. The girl is blond and wearing a dress, I think. Melanie has been taken over by...something. It makes her jump in a graceful arc from the gondola ledge into a window. For some reason, I remember her hair rippling in the wind. That really stands out in my dream.

I'm back inside, and I try to get off the floor (where the water is) by holding onto a sink and holding my legs up. Why I'm doing this...I have no clue. But I know whatever is in Melanie, it's going to electrocute people. A moment later, I relax. I'm immune to electroshock. Silly me.

I go downstairs and confront Melanie, who then changes into an old man in a tan suit. He smiles before trying to kill me, and I smile as the attempt fails. The others aren't watching, too busy running around panicking. He frowns and becomes angry. The shock itself is uncomfortable; I can feel it shooting up my legs. He leaves and I follow, taunting him that he's angry I won't die (yes, let's taunt the mean electrocuting monster :/ ). He falls into an ornate chair as if exasperated, changing appearance again into a blond heavy-set woman who rolls her eyes at me.

I wake.

Themes seem to be blond hair, water (as usual), food (I am on a heavy lifestyle change, lost 35 pounds so far), and perhaps money? Work seemed to be the farthest thing on my mind during the dream.

So this morning i was sleeping in, and in my dream I am in my old house i lived in as a kid. I was just walking around waiting for a hamburger to be cooked for me. I decided to lay on the couch and wait for supper when i fell asleep. This is rare for me to have a dream inside a dream but it does happen. In the dream within the dream i am walking in an open field and the sky keeps opening up forming circles in the clouds. I stared at them as they circled around and swirled to form shapes. One shape it formed was a big skull with blinking eyes. Then another form shaped into a lazyboy recliner. My brother showed up in the dream and said, wow i bet that would be cool to sit on. I said yeah it would, and then the lazyboy recliner came down and let me sit on it. When i sat on it it took off, flying with me holding on for my life, as the recliner flew all over the place. I woke up from the dream, still inside the first dream and there was this girl staring at me, she asked me what i was doing. I told her that i just flew a recliner. I then had to go to the bathroom, so i went down the hall and urinated in a cardboard box, lol i still don't know whats up with that, it's funny though. My older brother told me to hurry up because we were getting ready to go somewhere. On the way out, i saw a piece of paper that had test results on it. I looked at it and my name was on it. It was a drug screening urinalysis, and it said that i tested positive for a medication given to breast cancer patients... that was weird. most of my dreams are very left field all the time.

Last night I was too tired to repeat my recall sentence, because I was cramming for a test today, so I only said it once and fell asleep. As a result I only remembered one of my dreams again

---Dream---

It was morning and I waiting for my mum to get ready so she could take me to school, instead of normally catching the bus. I went outside and into the street, when I saw the old lady who lives opposite me open up a door I had never seen before.

I went and talked to her, making sure to look out for when my mum gets in the car. This new door opened up to her bedroom, and made a path from it to her car, (which she doesn't have in RL). So we walked up to the car, still talking, when I saw my mum get in the car over at my house. So I said "Goodbye" and went back over.

For some reason, even though I was supposed to get into my mum's car, I went to where it is usually parked and went to open it, as my dad's car was there instead
I had keys to unlock it, but I saw the lock snap up before I pressed anything, so I looked outside the garage, and saw my neighbour (from two doors down) standing there apparently surprised that I saw him unlock the car with a copy of the keys.

I was shocked so I said things like: "What are you doing here? Go away. Get lost!"
The thief ran into the yard of the house on our left, and I went over to my mum who had parked the car on our lawn. I was still saying things like: "Thief! I'll report you to the police!"
My mum was also concerned, but then we heard yelling from the backyard behind the garage.

I went over and saw my dad arguing with the owner of the house next to us on our left, where the thief neighbour ran to.
The thief said "I was only going to smoke pot in your backyard, like I do everyday when you all leave."
My dad disapproved of this and told him to come out of the house next to us, where that neighbour was protecting the thief from us, but the house's owner started shouting about how bad we were or something. He specifically mentioned my branch of Christianity: "You Seventh-Day Adventists always... *something something* ...and I'm going to die at the second coming while you don't!"

I wanted someone to say something back, but no one did. That's all I remember.

So my neighbour seemed to be attacking us based on our faith, which is in lots of my dreams. He just seemed so angry at us
It was ALMOST a nightmare

I'm still waiting for lucidity!!

Brock Lesnar was getting edited, like on UFC the game or something. Changing his "stats" (height weight etc.). There was some kind of glitch and he instantly gets super huge... 9 feet tall, all stats 100%. Ends up fighting this little country boy who was pulled out of the hospital by a mysterious female. He's nervously pawing at the ground, playing with the grass with his feet. On his feet you can see some white fungus, so I assumed that's why he was in the hospital. Boy starts walking towards Brock Lesnar, and he's punching some big ass oak tree. Get a text and woke up. Non-lucid.

Only remembered 1 dream last night

I'm setting up for some kind of event there is some kind of curtain/banner thing that needs to get washed no-one volunteers to wash it... Later I'm in my childhood home people are coming to stay my cousin S will have to sleep in my room. In my room I notice the curtain/banner thing my wife has been chopping green peppers, apparently because my son had holes in his school socks we are being punished by having to wash the banner and bring chopped green peppers to the school. I decide that this is ridiculous and am suddenly at the school fetching my son, I almost leave without talking to the teacher but decide against leaving. I have a word with her that this is ridiculous and that we won't be washing the banner or bringing the chopped peppers. WE walk toward another area in the school and cue up for something on the way I'm telling school kids to take off their school shoes to prove that lots of people have holes in there socks, I only find 1 with holes in. At this point I realize that I'm wearing a school uniform and start to complain that the other parents don't have to wear a uniform (I really should have become lucid here). We get to a place where we have to cue I'm talking to my wife about how the teacher will hate us forever but it isn't the teacher it's another teacher in the school who we know, I tell the principle about how ridiculous all this is. At some point I'm in the very back of the line and we're cueing for registration for a golf day. I'm at the very back with an unknown friend, I feel very intimidated and competitive. I'm showing my driver to my friend. I get to the front and I have been pre-registered and collect my stuff. I go through the stuff it includes pills and tags for your golf bad and other stuff, I organize it into my golf bag... I think I wake up at this point

7/28/10

I haven't been having any "stand out" dreams lately.. I wake up barely remembering any or may have gone a few nights in a deep sleep. I just have been having those light dreams
..just nothing interesting about them. Just a quick update the dream I had about a baby in my arms..a family member of mine just found out they are pregnant with their first child.
I tend to know someone is going to have a baby by having dreams that I am having or holding one myself..
Weird..lol.

Last night I had a dream it felt like I was a in my very early teens.. I was on the front porch and remembering this gloomy orange light above me. It was the only light that was on ..other houses were dark I couldn't even see the color of their walls.
I turn to see my grandmother ( May she rest in peace) in my dream and she rarely is seen in my dreams.. this would be the 3rd time I have seen her since she passed away so many years ago.
I see the place slightly change instead of me standing on the front porch I was standing underneath train tracks.. ( in n.y we have some tracks elevated in some streets and sidewalks). So I am standing under this train station.. I am struggling at this point in my dream trying to take down any hidden messages or symbolic meanings.. I have habit looking for those in my dreams they r more interesting days later. . anyway
I am under the train tracks and once again I find myself knocking out a girl clear across on her back in the middle of a crowd. It felt good knocking her out because I felt attacked. She hit me and I just felt the need to hit her back after I was trying to calm the situation down.

I knocked her out and I see police officers coming towards me hands on their hips
So I start yelling " I had to defend myself! I had to defend myself!" I look over and see my grandmother and her face is puzzled.. she is not happy but she is not sad either.. it was more like " damn you didn't have to do that". I find guns pointed at me and I felt so weird.. it got so quiet ..I thought it was the last moment of my life..

That was it.. weird dream but decided to documented it anyway..

Ball master, rich dad and, yu-gi-oh? (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

If you follow my journal you will know it was Tuesday to Wednesday, which means 05:30 am wake up to drive my wife, so not an awesome night. I was very close to complete the ToTM for August, a couple more hours and I would turn lucid. Two fragments and one decent dream:

Third:

It was night and I was in the middle of downtown. I had to walk home and I was pretty far. In addition of walking far, I had a ball (I think made of iron) It was not bigger than a golf ball. I was practicing to be able to move it with my feet without dropping the ball.
I remember I walked by several people and I think I jumped several times, however, I did not dropped the ball. I was making a record in ability. I amazed some people doing this, but some people was bothered. I also passed through a baseball field (the game was going on while I was in the middle of the field, however, no one appeared to care)

I arrived at my place. It was a huge house with a lot of windows. It was lit and very well illuminated. In the middle of the living room, there was a marble fountain made by my dad (made up dad) I had a sister and I could not talk to her about my real waking dad (the jerk one) She would get very sad if I told her, as she could assure I was a son from her dad as well (who was married to my real mom)
There was a party going on. I could see some made up family and made up friends. I felt very happy.

My made up dad was rich (like my idiot jerk dad) however, this one did share his monies with people and specially with me. I was going to meet with him. He had heavy build, a beard and half bald. He wore a business professional suit and he was very friendly. I somehow knew he was going to give me $10.000 to pay off my car and other stuff.

I was hungry and I wanted to eat something. Someone told me to go to the kitchen and grab some pasta. The kitchen was not as big as the rest of the home. It had a few refrigerators, but they looked more like restaurant refrigerators. There were several tappers on it and I though the pasta was there. I could not find the pasta so I decided to cook some.

The scenery vanishes and changes.

I was playing a Yu-gi-oh game but with holographic images like the anime (I do not even know how to play Yu-gi-oh... go figure. I only saw the very first season -Pegasus- so it was the style from the First season) I did not have special feelings, but I remember I had a strategy going on.
My opponent had like a purple giant worm, smiling with a lot of (human) teeth. That thing looked fun and I knew it was going to attack me. I said out loud, "Yes, yes I know. Attack me know." I knew the name of the attack so I said, "(Name of the monster) Gastor Eliminator!!!) I woke up ( I search for those words and nothing shows up)

Missed dream signs:
- My ability with the golf ball.
- The house.
- Made up dad and family.
- That odd Yu-gi-oh game.

What I would have done if lucid:
- Find out more about myself with this made up family.
- If turned lucid during the Yu-gi-oh game, leave the Arena and head for the ToTM.

Dream 1:

I am with my mom and brother in a van in a hotel parking lot, and it's raining. We drive around the hotel along a circular road and come back to the hotel. We park and my mom gets out. She steals two purses (completely unlike her) from the back of a truck and we go into the hotel. We are in this huge hotel room for a couple of minute just hanging around. (I wake up)

Dream 2:

I come into a room with stairs leading down to a dark body of water (looks like a river but the water is still). A man is on the stairs and tosses me an alka seltzer (he calls it a different name - i forget what he called it). I tell him "no thank you" and toss it back. He drops it, so I bend down and pick it up. I again toss it to him, he misses, and it falls down into the water. I try hard to grab it but cannot seem to grasp it. It starts floating out further into the water - I feel bad I will have lost his alka seltzer and get in the water to retrieve it. I suddenly become frightened like I've been tricked. Just as this feeling comes a man pops out of the water and I know he is there to harm me. (I wake up)

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

For the duration of this dream, I was in a pretty average-looking classroom that had white walls and gray molding, while the size of the room must have been average, the shape rectangular. The carpet looked like teal Berber with bits and pieces of purple. Light tan desks with steel legs (not the wooden variety) were arranged in neat rows with even spacing. Each had a brown plastic chair, again with steel legs, pushed underneath. There was a long white board at the front of the room and the desks faced that direction.

The time must have been around lunch break.

At my school, people tend to eat in classrooms with their friends instead of in the cafeteria, so this reflected in the dream. There were around fifteen different students scattered around the room; four or five of them were in a close cluster in one corner in front of the white board.

One of the students was leaning back in her chair, with another one from the adjacent desk pulled close to her; her food and drink was on the chair as it acted like a table.

There were no other free chairs in that cluster of students, so I asked her if I could sit down, and she move her items to the desk. She pulled her food to one side of the chair; it was better than before but now I only had half of it to sit on. I didn't argue and instead just laughed and shrugged.

The student sipped some of her juice. I pulled out a generic sandwich from a blue fabric lunchbox that suddenly just appeared on the table. A student had also appeared on the other end of the table, her chair pulled in. She was eating a green salad with a less-viscous version of orange mandarin dressing. As she took a mouthful, she looked past me and suddenly laughed, getting a small piece of romaine on my leg.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry," she said, bursting out laughing and slightly covering her mouth. "At least I think that piece was clean."

(...What?)
