non-lucid

Key: Non-Lucid, Lucid, Commentary/Notes, Hypnagogic Hallucinations

Three dreams recalled from last night. It's been a while since I've had multiple recall! I should have written down the second one during the night because there was so much to it, but oh well, you live and learn.

Clone Dance

I was watching people dance. They were on a stage and all were men. One of the men was there three times. He explained that one of the other two identical people was his son -- who was identical to him but about 2 inches shorter -- and the other was just doing a very good impersonation of him. The original guy and the guy doing the impersonation laughed and started to do a rather complex dance routine, which was pretty exiting to watch.

Cornered

I was in my brother's room. However it was lined with a rusty metal tank. The corners of the tank had been cut away. One by one they were covered up by objects that fit into the specific sized holes in corners. The final hole was filled by the top of a man's head. He was bald. I recognised him as Jesse from Burn Notice. I felt like he had betrayed me. It went dark, but then I remember being outside of the tank.

Taking the Fall

I was in one of my old science classrooms at back at secondary school. Three kids were there who were in the year above me, L, N, and P.

For some unknown reason they were coming at me as though they were going to beat me up. I told them that they were mistaken if they thought it would be so easy and that I could take all three of them. I quickly dispatched L to the ground and then tussled with N. P was about to attack me when he was struck down by a stool. I dropped N to the floor and turned to see that Elliot from Leverage was in the room and had helped me out. Turning to P I saw that the stool legs had impaled his chest and he lay dead, oozing blood.

The door to the classroom flung open. There was a man demanding to know what happened. I explained, but said that I had picked up the stool and killed P by accident during the fight.

Now the room was full of people. We had to stand in a line around the classroom, almost like we were soldiers standing to attention. I was told I had to stand at the end because I has a disgrace and that my future at the school was in question. I felt really sad. I looked around the room and caught Elliot's eye. He looked grateful by also very sad.

Someone was droning on about something. Most people were bored of listening and started leaning on the walls and desks.

Super false awakening:

I woke up at my house like usual. I wasn't feeling well the night before and thought going to the gym might help. I was at my new gym lifting weights and thinking how weird it was seeing people from my old gym there. I could feel myself getting sore. I realized that it was 4 am in the morning and thought that I would be doing more damage than going working out this early. I really should get back home and sleep.

I went home and to my room and was surprised by my uncle. He was there with his wife and they were trying to get it on. I told them I needed to sleep and they got upset and left. My cousin from Russia came into my room and said he just flew in from amsterdam. I was really happy to see him. He pulled out a giant pill box of 50 mg adderal and started showing it off. The little beads were black and white. I got excited and showed him my little collection of 50mg adderal. We were talking about what we were going to do later that day when I woke up.

The ultimate realization:
I don't remember much of this except for the thought that this was really important. I was in my living room watching tv with lindsey, kara, and kalee. Kalee was telling me something really important. She said it wasn't what you did in life, but how you did it. Even though we were only watching tv, we were doing it together and that was all that mattered.

Working at the Safeway Chinese store:

I was hired at Safeway by the candy section. There was a giant portion of pots and pans really high up in a row. The Chinese chef started teaching me how to work all the different machines. There was a stew pot, a fish pot, and several other types of pots. He went on break for a while and just left me there alone to work the stand. I started walking around from pot to pot steering and flipping different foods on the pot. I did this for a while. There was a little girl that came and asked me about what I was doing. I took a little break and told her about it.

New family member! (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a pretty awesome night. My old record of dream recalled in a single night was 8, I rose that up to 11 Only one of this was a fragment. Three of these were lucid and on one of them I completed one of the Tasks of the Year.
Eleventh of the night:

I adopted a cat somewhere. It was brown and very furry. I was wondering the age of the animal. The adoption process when very fast.
I arrived home and no one was there. I though in saying to my wife that the new cat was her birthday present.

I introduced this cat to my two cats. I had the water spray in my hand and the cats were sniffing each other. I also had two dogs that appeared to like the new cat. The new cat opened his jaws and tried to bite one of my cats. I shot water on him. The jaws were very big and sounded metallic when they closed.

I had a made up family who was sitting in the couch. We had a small glass table in the middle of the living room. These people were very rude with me, but they were petting the new cat. One lady dropped a whole box of Lucky Charms cereals and only picked up the marshmallows. She complained that she did not lemon ones. I though it would be nasty if the lemon flavor was within the Lucky Charms Cereals. She started to pick up the marshmallows and eated them one by one.

Missed Dream Signs:
- The False Awakening.
- The two cats and two dogs.
- The dogs (in waking I have no dogs)
- The jaws of the new cat.
- The fake family..

What I would have done if lucid:
- Find more about myself talking with the DCs.

I beat Neil Armstrong (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a pretty awesome night. My old record of dream recalled in a single night was 8, I rose that up to 11 Only one of this was a fragment. Three of these were lucid and on one of them I completed one of the Tasks of the Year.
Tenth of the night:

I tried to DEILD from the previous dream, but I moved in bed a little bit.

I was at home, I had a false awakening in my bed but my wife was awake. It was 7am time to wake up but I told her I was going back to bed. I went to the table were I write my dreams down. I started to write one and a friend plus my wife appeared.
My friend took of his shirt and he had a tattoo in his chest exactly the same than mine. Then, suddenly his tattoo changed into a different one, but with the same black and red colors. I found it odd and I realized a reality check.

I look at my hands and I had a lot of fingers so I became lucid. I said, "Ha! I knew it. That tat is not right. I am lucid, this is a dream." I took my blue backpack were I have my cards and left. I flew away and saw the moon up in the sky:







I gained some height and used my backpack as a jet pack. First I flew straight up and then straight. It was hard to fly with the jetpack. I almost hit a building. My backpack ran out of gas so I threw it away and kept flying on my own. I saw the moon and the dream started to fade. I spun and recovered the dream. Slowly the imagenery was back. I was getting out of the Earth and a voice said, "I know what you want. You want to go to Space." As I was exiting the Earth, instead of the moon, I saw another Earth. I though, "Not the Earth, I need the Moon!!!" The voice sounded again, "I know what you want. You want to see the Earth from a balcony at the moon." I was annoyed about that voice messing up. I saw myself approaching at the moon. I saw an odd building. The dream started to fade, so I had to recover it again.

I was inside a building. Everything was metallic and I saw flashes of light. I was like in a very old school first person shooting game, but I had no gun. I heard a lot of loud and annoying noises:







I saw red and blue arrows. Every few seconds, a hatchet with a blue arrow would close. I realized I was in a maze and I had to run to exit throughout the blue arrows. I suddenly saw armed soldiers, but they ignored me. I walked through them. I finally exited and I had a perfect vision on the moon. The voice said, "Oh. Now I know!" I saw a ship trying to land. It was Neil Armstrong!







I flew close to him and placed a flag with my own symbol. He was surprised when he saw me and he said, "You beat me here! How?" I laughed again and hit him softly in one of his shoulders. Then I forced myself to wake up. I knew I chained three lucids and I was entering the dangerous zone for recall. I woke up.

I want to know this is the first time I have a ToTY or ToTM completed without a FA after the lucid!

Missed Dream Signs:
- The False Awakening.

Dream Sign Noticed:
- The changeling tattoo.

Reality Check Performed:
- Hand Check.

Ugh, things have been a bit hectic lately and recall has suffered. Here's some stuff though.


#945:
Date: July 11th, 2010
Length: 5 minutes

I'm at a kind of (middle?) school, in chemistry class. I think a few people here are some friends. Everyone, including myself, is significantly younger than in real life, however. After a while, the class ends, and everyone rushes to finish some kind of experiment we had to do. People eventually leave the class, and I'm one of the last people to get out, worried that I'll be late for my next class.

I walk through some corridors, and it becomes apparent that this school is under military control/surveillance. I think it might have been on some foreign planet (the sky and outside looked unusual). I eventually get to some kind of military checkpoint, and I show some kind of paper to a guy at a desk, hoping that he will tell me where to go to find my next class. He does, and I start heading there, when suddenly there's an uproar.

A kind of alert is sounded, and several men with guns run outside. It seems that the kids from my chemistry class have gone insane and taken up arms. They shoot at the soldiers who went outside, and kill them all, then disappear. Inside the school, I volunteer myself to go find out what happened to the kids that has made them go insane.

I walk outside, and after a journey that I don't remember, I end up in some kind of swamp/jungle, where I find a few of the kids. They don't seem quite normal, but they're not hostile either. After talking for a while with them, they offer me some kind of large, strange fruit that they are all eating. I eat some of it, and a strange yellow liquid spews out. All the kids seem to be addicted to this fruit and the liquid it contains. I realize that the fruit must contain something that is making them go insane, and try to prove it to them.

This part is a bit strange -- I reach into my throat somehow, and cough up what I just ate. It now looks dark purple, and I try to explain to everyone that this is the substance that is corrupting them and messing with their minds. I think they believe me, but I don't recall much after that.




A few fragments besides that:

- A dream where I walked like half an hour to get to a place where I was going to run. I had to cross a long metal bridge with holes in it (I was worried of falling through into the water below). I also ended up talking with my parents, who said they wanted a new child (a girl, iirc).

- A dream where I was in some kind of hell/purgatory. There was a small, creepy house that I went into, and in which there was a room with some kind of monster and a giant spider, which I killed using a golden gun.

Highway to lucidity. (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a pretty awesome night. My old record of dream recalled in a single night was 8, I rose that up to 11 Only one of this was a fragment. Three of these were lucid and on one of them I completed one of the Tasks of the Year.
Ninth of the night:

I had a False Awakening in my room and I realized the DEILD worked great. A split second later, I lost lucidity. I had to drive somewhere and I was late. I could not see properly. I headed to the the freeway and I took Northbound. I was going to pick up my wife at work. The vision was terrible. The freeway was a lot different than it is for real and I found that odd. Suddenly, I hit a dead end in the freeway and I see my car flying to the pit. "This is not possible!", I said to myself. I affirmed I was dreaming and I jumped off the car and started to fly. I saw my car crush in the ground while I was levitating in the middle of a forest. I woke up"

Missed Dream Signs:
- None.

Dream Sign Noticed:
- A lane in the freeway ending into a pit.

Reality Check Performed:

I can't reach the Roman Age! (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a pretty awesome night. My old record of dream recalled in a single night was 8, I rose that up to 11 Only one of this was a fragment. Three of these were lucid and on one of them I completed one of the Tasks of the Year.
Eighth of the night:

I had a False Awakening in my room and I went to my regular table to write down my dreams.
My wife shout from bed, "That was so fun!" The sudden shout scared me and while I was trying to retain the dream in my mind, I asked her what was going on. She told me she had a very funny dream. She said, "I was selling a very unhealthy food in the middle of the freeway and several people bought from me. Suddenly, the scenery changed and I was next to a freeway. It was very cloudy and about to rain. The freeway was completely empty.

I found it very weird so I decided to jump. The gravity was weird so I ensured I was indeed in a dream. Eastbound was still empty, but I saw several cars coming from Westbound. I started to fly to get away from there and I remembered the ToTY. I decided to give another shot to the Gladiators. There was a DC that was like a shaman so I asked for help. This usually helps me. I asked her if she could help me to open a portal to the Roman Age. I saw a big iron borderpost. I told her, "I will fly high and you open the portal on the top of the borderpost. Then I will go through it!" I flew and started to fly towards the borderpost but no portal appeared.

We completed various attempts without success. The magician suggested me to use a special ointment to open the portal. She told me that I would need lily flower's oil and olive oil. I summoned the lilies, then I tried to summon a bottle of Rotture Di Oro Olive Oil, however, I failed to conjure it.

I though, "That's it. Stupid gladiators. I will focus on other task and will leave this one for later." I saw the moon and I said, "Perfect" I started to fly to the moon and the dream faded. I had time to remember myself to DEILD.

Missed Dream Signs:
- The False Awakening.

Dream Sign Noticed:
- An empty freeway.

Reality Check Performed:
- Gravity test.

I'll start off by mentioning how I slept last night with pen and paper by my side, in hope that I would write down keywords of my dreams throughout the night. But instead of doing this, I dreamt that I wrote keywords down, haha. Typical

So, I was in New Zealand with some random people. AK was there and she kept leaving the shed unlocked because it no longer contained things that were of value to her. In there was just my clothes and stuff. She'd taken out her photography equipment.

Outside of this shed, we were in a group of about 10, and walked on a path around this grass courtyard thingy that had some large machine-looking apparatus that was either a furnace or a rocketship.
The boots I was wearing were made of a thin, black, fake leather and they were too big for me. So I was looking around for a peg to secure them, otherwise they would've just fallen down. Luckily the place our group walked towards had a clothesline with several blue pegs on it. There were a few different types and some were broken. I chose the best one and secured the boots.

SJ was in my group. She commented on my boots, although I recall not what she said.

So after walking around the grass courtyard and arriving at the place where the clothesline with pegs was, we were about to go to some next stage.
There were security guards preventing us though.

Then the guards stamped us one by one on our hands as to give us permission to go. They used the Bunnings (some large hardware store company) stamp that I have in my room IRL.
They had stamped my left hand but it was in a slightly inconspicuous position, so I got them to stamp my right hand. They then wrote "pipe" on it too, because all of a sudden I was apparently carrying a flute of some sort in my left hand.
Another girl they stamped decided to write "New Zealand, fuck yeah!" on her hand below the stamp.

Wife screws my lucid! (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a pretty awesome night. My old record of dream recalled in a single night was 8, I rose that up to 11. Only one of this was a fragment. Three of these were lucid and on one of them I completed one of the Tasks of the Year.
Seventh of the night:

I had a False Awakening in my room. It was early still but my wife was already awake. I asked her to come back to bed, but she replied she needed to iron. I got mad and told her, "This is the best time for me to become lucid, come on, you want to meet our personal goals, right? I need to become lucid to do that!!! You are going to screw it all up. If you want to archive the plans, I need to be lucid and/or astral project" Lucidity still firing up, but not just yet! (next dream) I looked for another room. I saw my parents room. My mom was not in there. The room was a very huge room with the lights on and classic music going on. They had a black sound system. My dad (nice dad) was lying in bed. The bed was twice the size of a King. I realized they needed loud music to sleep and I could not sleep with such noise.

Missed Dream Signs:
- False Awakening.
- Talking about lucidity with my wife.
- Meeting with my parents (they are 12000 miles from home)
- The ridiculous size of their bed.

What I would have done if lucid:
- Talk with DC to find out more about myself.

Ignored Mantra (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a pretty awesome night. My old record of dream recalled in a single night was 8, I rose that up to 11. Only one of this was a fragment. Three of these were lucid and on one of them I completed one of the Tasks of the Year.
Fifth of the night:

I had various False Awakenings. I started to write down something in my journal. I was repeating a mantra within the dream about awakening within the dream and remembering a scenery. Lucidity igniting more, but not in this dream yet. I tried to avoid about thinking in other stuff and only focus on my mantras.
While lying down in bed, I felt I was imaging myself writing down a dream seating being my regular table. I was writing them down in my journal.

Missed Dream Signs:
- The FA in my room.
- Not realizing the mantra was said within the dream.
- My dream journal.

What I would have done if lucid:
- End the dream while telling myself to DEILD. The dream quality was low so I would "reset" it.

Chef's vacation (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a pretty awesome night. My old record of dream recalled in a single night was 8, I rose that up to 11. Only one of this was a fragment. Three of these were lucid and on one of them I completed one of the Tasks of the Year.
Fourth of the night:

I had a false awakening in my room. I was lying on my back and I felt that I almost fell from bed. I woke up and something scared me. I made noise due the scare, but my wife did not wake up. I was planning to attempt to Astral Project.

In this dream, I was writing down a dream in my journal. Basically, the imagery of this dream was me behind my journal and at the same time, I was able to view the dream I was writing down.
I picked up the Chef somewhere in the country. We were going to meet for a week.
I drew something in my journal, which represented the place where I was going to pick up the chef. I drew it for real too:







I was upset about some banners that were at this location. I remember that this place had a room where there was a small lake with a lot of trees and a small rock.
The cheff met with two guys, I realized that the "two" was a dream sign and I noted it as a side note of a missing dream sign. But did not turn lucid for real... here is where my lucidity starts to ignite for the night.
I wrote down more stuff and I woke for real.

Missed Dream Signs:
- The FA in my room.
- My dream journal.
- The two guys plus realized I missed that dream sign within the dream.
- The drawing was made too good over my general abilities.

What I would have done if lucid:
- Head for a Task of the Year.

Attempting to write down a dream. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a pretty awesome night. My old record of dream recalled in a single night was 8, I rose that up to 11. Only one of this was a fragment. Three of these were lucid and on one of them I completed one of the Tasks of the Year.
Third of the night:

I had a FA in my room. I went to the table in the kitchen to write down my previous dream. My wife just went to the restroom. I went to a different kitchen than waking and I wrote down my dream in a small odd white laptop that was inside a shelf. While I was typing in the dream, i realized I could not take it from the computer, so I closed it and grabbed my paper journal.
I was planning to eat an Oreo when I was done. I tried to walk to the table where I usually write down my dreams, but I could almost not see. My wife had to hold me because I was falling asleep.
She helped me to sit down in my regular chair, but I could not write the dream because I had no vision. I ignored that and I started to write down a dream.

Missed Dream Signs:
- The FA in my room.
- The computer inside a shelf.
- An unknowk kitchen.
- My dream journal.

What I would have done if lucid:
- Probably head for one of the short ToTY. The dream was not very vivid.

World Cup Game? (Non-lucid)

Second of the night:

It was morning and I was in front of my boss office of the Pata negra store. It was the day for the Final Match of the World Cup. I was talking about it with my boss who was inside the office.
There was several people coming from the kitchen. Both staff and customers.
I was surprised that no one wore stuff from Spain for the final match.
The match almost ended instantly after it started.

Missed Dream Signs:
- On such an important event no one appeared to know.
- The fact that the match was done in a split second.

What I would have done if lucid:
- Probably I would talk with a DC in the dream to find more about myself.

World Cup - Final Match (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a pretty awesome night. My old record of dream recalled in a single night was 8, I rose that up to 11. Only one of this was a fragment. Three of these were lucid and on one of them I completed one of the Tasks of the Year.
First of the night:

I was going to the Pata Negra store, as I had to work. It was day and the Final Match was going to take place to decide the World Champion. As I arrived, it was full of people. I was alone at the store, however, I was happy because I knew I could close up the store and go see the match.
I went to the office and they quoted me a time about when the game was going to start so I could close.
I got back to the store and I was waiting until the quoted time so I could close it up.
The time arrived, I closed the store and went to the restaurant, however, no one was there.
Someone guessed the result of the match.
I had a FA in my room. I was talking with someone about what happened with the match. I started to write down the dream and I woke up.

Missed Dream Signs:
- The oddity of going back and finding no one at the restaurant.
- The FA. I have plenty, so it's one of my dream signs.
- My own dream journal appears on several of my dreams as well.

What I would have done if lucid:
- Probably I would talk with a DC in the dream to find more about myself.
- I would started to DEILD in the dream to start the next one fully lucid.

I am in a forest in the Northwestern U.S. I am sawing my arm, but it turns into a log. A huge arm-log. I saw the log. The log squirts blood. 'HAHAHA I DID THE TASK OF THE MONTH. I MADE A LOG SQUIRT BLOOD!' HAHAHAHA I WIN. I AM THE MOST ADVANCED LUCID DREAMER ON THE PLANET.

Absinthe, The Green Fairy appears. "You idiot. You just drank some absinthe at the Club Nexus. Don't you remember. This is a hallucination in a dream."

"I am DREEEEEEEEEEEEEAMING!" I scream. I fly into the sky, and make the clouds turn into ice cream. I eat the ice cream with a bunch of cows. It feels weird. Not the ice cream, but eating it with flying cows.

The cows have a weird sky game of a sport like football using cowpies. Monkeys ride on the cows' backs, trying to fling poo into a goal.

I start laughing my ass off, and rolling around in the sky.

I wake up in the Biodome, and hit myself in the head.
