Non-lucid - False Awakening
Duration: Short

I was ln my bed until I realized that my bedroom's door was open because of the light that was coming from the outside. There was my dad and sister just starring at me! It could be nightmare if I was scared but my mind seemed to say "F*ck them" Then I rolled over and I pinched my nose and gained lucidity, but the dream quickly vanished and I woke up...

A funny thing, when I woke up I saw the most realistic hallucination I have ever seen: a coca-cola machine! lol

Date: July 13, 2010
Non-Lucid
Duration: Meidum - long but fragmented :/

I was going to school by foot and I wanted to take my saxphone with me. I saw a a few guys (5 of them) which are my friends who gave me ride to school. When I arrived school I was on my dad's car :S and I was 30 minutes late. And then I noticed that I forgot my "training suit?" with me.

Yeah typical stupid dream that makes me happy Im on vacations now

Becoming Canadian:
I was becoming a canadian citizen. I was in some class and they were teaching us what to say and preparing us for the ceremony. Next thing I know, we are at the ceremony. We were with some kids and then each one of us took a kid's hand and walked by themselves. The hall was big and I think we were going to the stage or at least to the seats.



There was a lot of people and a song that went like: "This time will be happy", "This time will be of joy".

Weather Changing and Modifying Elements:
I was at work and the weather seemed to be changing quite rapidly. It was very bright, likely hot and was pretty calm outside. Next minute, it's pretty dark and getting to be stormy.



Looking outside the large windows from the counter, I notice what appears to be kids in a far away building screaming, happy that there is a storm coming. I see a couple outside the store and they are running to the sidewalk. I think "Good thing they are near the store". The dream skips and I am sitting with some workers who I don't recognize from RL. They seem to be eating cupcakes and are sitting near the door of the room. I inquire about the cupcakes and they say that they were given to them and that I shouldn't take one of the pink-iced cupcakes from the stack across the room.



Dream skips again and I recall being in my bedroom. I might have just woken up and I notice the dark, stormy weather outside from my window. I am already lucid and I decide to exit my room and go to see myself in the washroom. I walk out of my bedroom and into the washroom. I face the mirror and turn on the lights. I see a quick glimpse of myself before the lights go off. Once again, I turn them back on and they go off again. I turn them on for a third time and this time, they stay on. I looked pretty normal in my reflection aside from my really messy hair. I didn't get a good look at what I was wearing or how the washroom looked, although from what I recall, it looked pretty similar to RL. I didn't want to spend all my time infront of the mirror, so, I continued my way down the stairs. Some lady came up the stairs and I dealt with her. I continued my descent down the stairs to our dark living room. I was still on the stairs when I heard my little brother yell out as if someone was bugging him. It looked like he was sleeping on the mattress in the living room and was having some kind of a dream about someone bugging him. My sister suddenly appears and is running down the stairs. I remember wanting to make her lucid as a recent goal of mine and tell her she is, but, she just dismisses it and run towards my brother. As soon as she is within the range of the mattress, she jumps onto the mattress as he sleeps on it. Of course, he yells for her to get off. I ignored them and wasn't too fond of the dark atmosphere and environment. I thought that if I step out, I might have to fight some monster, so, I imagined a green meadow that stretched for miles with the bright yellow sun shining overhead.



I proceeded to open the door and decided to step outside. I didn't have shoes on and was worried about stepping into some glass on the sidewalk, but, I dismissed this concern because this was a dream, so, I just had to create some kind of barrier beneath my feet to prevent such accidents. I imagined a silver sheet underneath both feet and when I felt pretty confident of my success, I stepped outside. The neighbourhood looked pretty similar to mine in RL and I was able to walk easily on the sidewalk, not feeling any terrain from what I recall, rather the sidewalks felt pretty smooth. It was lovely weather outside as well. I saw a really small rusted airplane in one of my neighbour's yards which would fit one person inside. I walked over to it to look at it and it reminded me of the airplanes one flies in the BF1942 game. I couldn't make out what was written on it, it was a blur and I didn't think about increasing clarity. It didn't have a tail, just some small wings and I couldn't see the head of it.



A guy came by on some contraption on the sidewalk and a truck just entered my neighbourhood and was about to drive past me. I ended up freezing the guy by pointing my finger at him and I decided to drop a cage on the truck. I think I originally wanted to drop a cage on him as well. Whether the cage actually dropped on the truck, I would never know since I directed my attention towards the plane, but, on the other hand, the guy was frozen in time and was only moving his eyes. I was standing behind the plane's two exhaust pipes which looked similar to a rockets' and decided to repair it to use it to fly. I pointed my finger at it thinking about it getting repaired and both exhaust pipes turned brown to signal that the repair is in progress. I wanted it done and didn't want to wait any longer, so, I decided that by the time I finish my count starting at 5 and going down to 0, it would be repaired. When the counting was done, the pipes turned back to the black color they once were and it looked to be in working condition. I wanted to pilot it and was planning to get in. I might have even gotten in because next thing I know, I am awake in bed with my eyes closed and I was thinking about piloting it.

Thoughts: Finally, I have had another lucid. I couldn't recall how I became lucid, but, possibly awareness and my meditation last night might have helped. It wasn't my shortest or longest either. Would be nice to get another one tonight or within this week with greater lucidity First dream wasn't too bad, wish I got the rest of the song though. It does seem to be quite catchy as well

1. The family is visiting me at my research station. My brother says he needs to talk, and he tells me that his friend A is growing more distant with him after breaking up with K. The dream fast-forwards to the next day, where we all go out to eat at McDonald's. The brother orders poutine (suggesting we're in Canada?) and we talk about how relationships seem to chain down from one person to another. The parents eat calmly downstairs.
When he and I go back down, a waitress (with a nametag reading Skilscience, so a failed RC) is talking in a Norwegian accent to my dad. It seems that he's been rude, and she's trying to instruct him in manners. He ignores her while asking for more gravy, and she snaps. She jumps up on a nearby table and starts shouting everything wrong with McDonald's. The cheese is fake, the beef is tainted, employees spit in the food, etc. Soon the rest of the employees join her, shouting "Down with Wal-Mart! Down with McDonald's!" The family leaves in a huff, and the dream fades out over Anti-Flag style punk music.

2. I'm a bassist in a successful rock band with a large crew of student roadies (all of whom I recognize as fellow students IRL). We're recording a new album, and in the studio other members of the band are listening to Led Zeppelin for inspiration. We start to record, but the drums just aren't working properly. We waste hours of precious studio time, and I drive away from the studio frustrated.

3. Movie-style voiceover shows an epic tale in the Star Wars universe. Two Jedi, dueling hardcore, got frozen in a block of ice; their bodies rotted, but the lightsabers still burn today. I lead a team of explorers to find them, but as we retrieve the blades one of them somehow cuts through the other. This releases a huge fireball of energy, and my crew races to escape while being pursued by ninja stormtroopers.

Mystery Threat:
My sister was going to take some summer course and she filled out the form. I decided to join her on the second day, there was also something else that I decided to do as well that I can't recall. I'm not sure where we went or what happened after but I find myself on a planet that seems to have been ravaged by war. It was very dark, cloudy, stormy and it seems that there were a lot of buildings that have been wrecked and abandoned. I was in the street with a bunch of people that I didn't know, but, can't recall seeing them, just knowing that they were there standing behind me. We were all looking west towards a building. This building had a metal tunnel that was expanding towards another building. The tunnel was supposed to connect the two buildings together and it seems that it was the only way out of this war ravaged city. I do recall, but, can't remember when it happened, clinging to the tunnel to try to get to the first building, but, had to hide from two drones that were circling the tunnel.



Sensing the presence of others, I looked ahead to see a large group of people. They were all wearing black with black bandanas covering their mouth and only revealing their eyes. They had axes in their hands which had black handles and a silver axe hand. It seems that we knew who they were and have had confortations in the past. We launched at each other with great speed. A couple of axes were thrown my way and I dodged them hoping that they missed my companions behind me. Another was thrown which I ended up blocking with my right hand and I was able to pick up another axe which I planned to use against an oncoming enemy.

Dream skips and we are all in a warehouse which is in the shape of an inverted C. They occupied the top half and we, the bottom half. It seems that I have made a bomb to use against them, it was in the shape of a balloon with rods sticking out of it. I threw it at them. They bounced it and got it stuck near the ceiling in the middle of the warehouse. We got it down and one of our members almost backstabbed us by making some odd sign first signalling the backstabbing but she threw it anyways. She ended up joining me and a friend of mine after jumping behind a wooden sheet to hide from the explosion. They threw it back to us yet again. A friend called R, caught it and began saying the time left. We were surprised that he was still holding onto it and beckoned him to throw it back. He did and they didn't have much of a chance to throw it back at us since, it hit their hands and bounced up in the air right above them. At this point, the time ran out and it was about to explode. I looked from behind the wooden sheet to see the impact. When it exploded, I don't recall seeing an explosion, mostly just the sound and then there was an eye, similar to the eye of a hurricane.



Air started circling around this eye which was just a small circle very fast and it started to suck them up and out of the building. They vowed revenge and that someone will get me. After they were all sucked out and everything calmed down, something similar to a scoreboard showed up in my vision detailing the amount of people left using people icons. It had an orange background with people icons using different colors to stand out.

Thoughts: Very nice, long, intense dream. Would have been nice to know more details about the first fight and the background

I've been sleeping like crap for the past week or so. I'm constantly woken up by kids or the heat, so my recall has been royally sucking.

One dream I had that was absolutely awesome was:
I was walking on a street near my house. I saw lightning in the distance... a LOT of lightning. Then, a thin bolt hit the ground in front of me and another hit in front of someone walking near me. I was amazed I wasn't struck or injured by proximity.
I then turned toward my long driveway and I felt strong wind from all sides of me and knew a tornado was heading toward me. THere was a large truck across the street which I ran for. Some almost elderly woman named Ruthie sat down in front of a Stop Sign. I tried to get her to follow me but she said she had had enough and was going home (heaven?). She wouldn't budge from the spot.
Then some guy named David and a little girl ran toward me and joined me underneath the truck. The area was much larger than it would have been in RL. We held on to various parts and rode out the storm safely.
Afterward, I made a sandwich lol.
I cut it into triangles and asked the girl if she wanted some.

That was the only whole dream I recall from this week.

Fragments include same ole same ole themes:
Running through a large house, trying to hide dead bodies, wrecking cars, wrecking the RV, messy house, messy RV, fights with kids, lots of water dreams, dreams of Chewy dying a million different ways in a million different dreams (Chewy was a rabbit who was killed by one of our cats a couple weeks ago).
In a dream from last night, I dreamed of my old cat Rogue and something about snakes. They were odd with spikes running down their sides. A man caught one and snapped off it's head with his thumb.

Not much going on last night.

Frags:

1. I was at my gramps house at night. I was on a very small motorcycle and being chased by something called "It". It was some sort of zombie-like creature.

2. I was playing guitar on a stage or something. I played a crazy solo.

24h Olive Oil store. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Not one of my best nights. My recall was not very efficient like usual. However, I still managed to get four dreams (two fragmented). The last dream was lucid, and one of the important personal memorable goal ones. I had a fifth dream, DEILDed from it for the lucid and I forgot the dream, only remembered the second in the chain (A few nights ago I chained three dreams and recalled all three, so I guess I lost it due a low recall night)

Second of the night:

I was like a small village. There were a few houses and a small two floor outdoors mall. The houses were within the mall. Out of this small place, there was nothingness.
The Olive Oil store was in the top floor. I was wondering if I wanted to do a WBTB if I could work for 90 minutes at the store (in my dream it opened 24h) so I would not need to work eight hours straight during the day or get overtime payment.
I went to a house to speak with a made up boss/owner of the store. It was fine with him so I went to the store. The store was different. It looked more like a warehouse store. The roof was several feet away and the store was very wide.
There were two registers together and one in the far right of the store.
A customer bought like several big pans and other items I did not recorgnize. I was not able to charge for them, I did not know how to do it. A line grew big in my register and I was worried I was delaing the whole store.
One co-worker opened the far right register and assisted some customers.


Missed Dream Signs:
- The Village.
- The store opening 24h.
- The appearance of the store itself.
- The merchandise of the store.

What I would have done if Lucid:
- Leave the store and head for a ToTY.

July 15, 2010
Slept between 1:30am-7:00am

Decided to set my alarm for 6am/WILD attempt. I woke up, and did a quick mental recollection of my dream to see if I would miss anything if I chose not to record notes. Deciding it would be alright, I chose to not record and fall back to sleep. I still fail so much at the conscious bit of falling asleep

However, this morning proved to be one of those epic moments where I was thinking about random things, and my thoughts landed on an old friend and my dream rammed into my head. Not the greatest recall other than I remember this...

Susanna
The audio in my dream was a conversation with an old friend, Susanna. I remember us talking about work. She was relocating, and she was telling me about the new town she was working in.

However the visual was scenery/landscape. She was telling me about her town and I was imagining it from a bird's eye view.

Just another list of old dreams, this time from 2008.

Had a dream that this kid gave me a bunch of emo clothes that he didn't want anymore. Then my sister agreed to take me to see Batman 3, which was called Midnight Rider or something. But before we could go, I wike up. Also, I won this raffle and for the prize, I got to be Miley Cyrus's best friend(yay.. not). I even got her phone number. It was 902. There weren't seven numbers. Also, me and my friend Ali got into a big fight but I don't remember what it was about.


8-23-08

Had a dream that I would fly as high as I could and then skyrocked down to earth as fast as I could and fly up just before hitting Earth. I did that several times.

I'm in some sort of place of education. I realize that, unfortunately, I am back in high school. I'm having a hard time grappling with the premise of the dream, but I am relatively sure that there was some sort of agent woman following me around. She's really beautiful dressed in all black, a tight form fitting black outfit with aviator sunglasses.

I'm on a crowded street by the institution. I can feel her in the distance behind me, scanning and clinging to my every move. I see a trolly car, like the ones in San Francisco. Except, this one was brown instead of red - full of plastic people in business suits, sporadically placed people who didn't belong in the mesh of them all.



She finds me. I realize that she is not an agent at all, she is Liz.

We're in an old study of sorts. I'm holding a gun, as are several other people in the room. There is a man, he has a broad smile and a gun pointed to my face. He pushes me inside another study, we're alone now. We start firing shots at each other, but the bullets are so small that our skin just absorbs them. At this point, we're almost having a good time shooting each other. My gun runs out of bullets and I ask for another gun. I point and shoot, only this one is met with an explosion of blood. I scream and run to the man. He is wrapped in thick spider webs that almost form a cocoon in a spiral pattern around his body. I realize that he is Donald. "I'm your boy," he says, as the blood seeps into my hands and his body begins to fall apart in the pattern of the spider webs.

Two Donalds walk in the room and tell me not to worry because there are many of them, and I'll always have one. I'm too upset to comprehend this, and tell them that it doesn't matter, that I can't let any Donalds die.

Yet another one of the old dreams I found... probably from 2006. I remember writing this at my old friend Rachel's house after a sleepover. It was written in a language that me and one of my other friends made up so it took me awhile to translate this haha..


It was the biggest roller coaster in the park. I didn't get it's name though. I was scared to go on it but my friends dragged me on. We started to get inside the coaster. My friends seat had a broken handle so she sat somewhere else. that made me kind of nervous, but I stayed on. We started rolling down the tracks. It didn't seem as scary as I thought it would. All of a sudden, my roller coaster car just soft of zoomed off the track. Everything seemed to go in slow motion. I was falling. The next thing I know, I'm on the ground with news people and cameras all around me. Then I just had to wake up.

This is another old dream that I found in a folder somewhere. It didn't have a date on it, but I'm guessing it was from my first year of middle school in 7th grade because it mentions a teacher from that grade.


I was on a 1 week camping trip. The same counselors that were in camp in real life were there, and also some of my teachers, like Mr. Jorgensen and Ms. Weise. But for some reason, the camp was so high up in the air that everyone had to wear harnesses. Anyway, camp was really fun. I don't remember all the games we played there though. Camp went by really fast. On the last day, we all ate fudge sundays and just hung around. Until.. Somebody decided to bring out the big red ball and pass it around by the edge of the camp. Mr Jorgensen was talking to other people by him and he was standing next to the edge, and he wasn't wearing a harness. Anyway, the ball came to me but it slipped out of my hands and started rolling towards Mr. Jorgensen. He tried to catch the ball but it started rolling off the edge. Mr Jorgensen reached to grab it, but the he fell. He just fell. Sarah, one of the counselors, jumped after him with a parachute, but she was too late. Everyone rushed down off camp and watched. there was Sarah, standing in the water, searching for the body of Mr. J. I was in shock. I was too scared to look in the water, so I went back up to camp. I felt really bad for Mr. J, but no one else seemed to care. I knew he would be on the news the next day. But, I woke up and didn't feel like going back to sleep and continuing my dream.

I am in a hotel room with some friends from high-school. We all at first greet one another and sit around the nice bar in the hotel room. We then decide we are hungry and head down to the cafeteria. All of a sudden, I am wearing a green sleeveless water suit. I see a lot of people in the cafeteria eying me because of the odd outfit, but I shrug it off. I continue to walk around the cafeteria and find some girls from my high-school, and one of them begs be to meet their dad. So, I follow them and proceed to meet up with their dad. Dream is a bit fuzzy after that...

____________

This blonde haired guy is driving me to his house somewhere in the suburbs, and now that I think of it, the man looked a lot like Keith Barry (the magician/mentalist). He took me to his house and I was forced to follow him around, I forget exactly what he was trying to train me to do.

Fast-forward: I am going back to Keith Barry's house, however I am rollerblading for some reason and it is poring rain outside on the way there. Keith then meets me outside of his house and urges me to get in his car. Dream ends.

____________

Warning: can be considered to be disturbing

I am traveling with a bunch of family members, friends, and famous people to a vacation spot on the beach to relax and have fun. We are all taking these white vans. When we get to our destination, however, it is far from any beach, and North Korean officers (at least it seemed like North Korean) snatched us by our hands and bound us so we couldn't struggle. We are forced up a hill, and on top of the hill, they force all of us to go through torturous exercises. While changing exercises, I remember glancing over at medicine bottles and gold bond on a rack in the middle of the hill we were forced to perform torturous exercises. On the bottles, I was trying to make out the date of them for some reason, but they seemed too far away. I glimpsed at what looked like an 8 on one of them, so I concluded it was the 8th (of whatever). At the end of the torture, the placed me bound on my knees with a gun pointed at my head. They then asked me what the date was on the medicine in the middle of the hill, and if I got it wrong I would be killed.

"It's the 8th!" I said, as I felt an unnatural sweat covering my body like a film.

"let him go," One of the officers said, as he tossed me to another officer. He then escorted me down the hell to meet up with a bunch more people who had passed the same test apparently after going through the torture. I asked one of them when we are leaving.

"You think we are getting out of here soon? Where are the vans?" I said desperately.

"Hah!" One of the DCs said, "You think we are leaving? They are going to keep us here and control us forever."

The white vans came back, and the officers filed us into the vans (those of us that were alive still), and drove us somewhere remote that we had no idea about. The question about where we were going was answered soon enough however, as we stepped out of the van we entered the property of a perfectly circular island, With a bunch of buildings in the center that were enormous. On the border of the circular island were millions of beds, and roofs over top of them like awnings. We were escorted into the middle of the island where the gigantic buildings were, and were sent to our hotel rooms in them. The men escorting us were unnaturally large, like the size of the hulk in the movie. These men were kind of weird looking.

I met my parents in my hotel room I was assigned to, and there were cameras and bugs everywhere in the hotel room. I talked with them about how this must be a concentration camp in North Korea or something, and that the hotel room we were assigned to was actually extremely nice.

Fast-forward: It is night time, and I am sleeping on one of the beds around the outer edge of the island. All of a sudden Tara, from True Blood, sits and lays down two beds beside me. She has blood all over, as well as patched up wounds on her arms and legs I could see. I ask a guy beside me about what happened to her, and he explained that the officers had Tara in "custody" all day, and that she was most likely beaten and raped for a long time. Poor girl, I thought to myself, as I examined her beautiful body that was littered with patched up wounds and blood. I continue to lay there for a while trying to play on my phone, but the phone keeps messing up, so I abandoned the idea.

All of a sudden I hear 2 officers coming into the area where the beds were, screaming in a language I did not understand. They went up to Tara, and yelled in her face for a long time, and Tara returned the favor and was screaming at them as well. Eventually the language turned into English, and the North Korean officers said to her "Now your really going to pay."

Tara starts screaming "NO! NOOO!" as she starts to weep again, and the officers reappear with a chair that resembled what looked like a chair to completely constrain someone so they could not move at all. Although she struggled, the officers subdued her in the chair and strapped her down. They gathered a bunch of tools that looked extremely evil in nature, such as large pliers, needles, tweezers, and a screwdriver. I couldn't bare to watch so I got up and put my back to it as I leaned against a ledge that was separating the walkway from the area of beds. The guy I talked to a little earlier had joined me on the ledge. As I over-heard Tara's shrieks of pain, I couldn't even think of what they were doing to her in that chair... it made me sick. It made me so sick I began crying in me dream. I had one hand on the ledge I was leaning against while the other covered my tears rolling down my face.

"If I could only shift into a wolf right now like I do in my dreams, these fuckers would really pay," I actually thought to myself, which is quite ironic. Little did I know I WAS dreaming (fail).

I then asked the buddy next to me what he thought about it. He then proceeded to tell me that they are most likely going to strip some of her fingernails and toenails off. This made me weep a little more as I continued to hear the sounds of Tara screaming in agony. After a while, the screaming ceased, and me and the buddy next to me saw the two officers covered in blood, carrying the chair towards the buildings in the middle of the island. Then they had disappeared. I knew Tara would need some consoling, so I ran up to her bed and sat next to her.

I opened up my arms offering to let her cry on my shoulder, and she took the offer generously. She came into my arms and pressed her eyes as hard as she could into my should and proceeded to cry excruciatingly loud. the tears and the loud crying made me ache, and I clutched her as hard as I could until the crying ceased a bit. She let go and laid next to me still half way in my arms. Then, all of a sudden she creeped her hands down my pants, and brought me in close to kiss her. It didn't feel right to go from such excruciating pain to being sexual, so I told her to relax. I definitely was not in that mood at the time.

"But I want it! Please!" she begged.

"Tara I can't, just relax," I said with concern, and continued to lay there.

Fast-forward: A person appears on the balcony of one of the tall buildings in the center that was close to the beds we were laying in. It was morning, and we all stood up to see what the hell was going on. A large lady was on the balcony with a microphone or a megaphone, one of them. She proceeded to tell us we must say everything that she says. Then, she started chanting words, and the crowd at the bed level would follow. I knew I had to do what they said now, especially after what I saw they did with Tara the night before. I joined in.

The thought of turning into a wolf like in my dreams creeped into my head once again, however, I did not think to do a reality check (another fail). One of the hulk looking men came up to me and started a conversation with me after the morning's chant session we had with the large lady on the balcony.

"What's wrong (my name)?"

"Oh nothing, just thinking about something." That something was ripping apart the place with my large wolf jaws.

"What is it?" He asked again.

"Honestly it's nothing. I am a little hungry actually, so that may be it." I lied.

That's when I woke up, and actually recalled quite a bit of the nap's dream. Was extremely vivid, and was quite disturbing as well. Not to mention I had plenty of opportunities to RC (such as the medicine bottles, and shifting thoughts), but still failed.
