non-lucid

(I should have written these down earlier today... Now I have forgotten most of them)

First:
I have vague memories of my brother Jimmy being angry as hell. I think it was at my parents place, but I am not sure. The Austrians were visiting and we were going to Stockholm. We talked about flying airplanes and I said that I have never gone anywhere with an airplane before (in real life I have traveled by air one time when I was 4). After further discussion I came to the conclusion that I had actually done it once before but for some strange reason I had no memories of it. I didn't think much about it.

-memory gap-

Something about herbs used for cooking. That it is much more efficient to gather fresh herbs by yourself in the forest than to buy them. Therefor we had to go to my grandpa who lives in fjällen becuase apparently they had herbs in abundance. Then I was walking in a forest there and saw wood sorrel on the ground. It wasn't really what I was after though so I didn't gather it. I was looking for parsley and oregano but found none.

Second:
There was a race held at the uni in Umeå and I was attending along with some random people from the cognitive science program I attended IRL some year ago. The race started at the pond and continued along the road next to the lärarutbildningshus. I ran along the race track and after a while it led into a house. I think it was a store or something. Now Jimmy was there and it was if as the race didn't exist at all. Jimmy was following me around.

I opened a door that led down to the basement. It was an extremely narrow stairway so you almost had to squeeze yourself down. I started to go down and Jimmy followed. There was a lot of cobwebs on the walls. They were very detailed and I could see small dead insects, web structures and spiders. Most was small and I wasn't bothered by them. I knew that Jimmy didn't like spiders so I warned him about them and said that he should crouch to avoid them. He failed to avoid the last web and it got stuck on his chest without him noticing. I saw that it contained a very large spider (~4cm diameter). I told him about it and he tried to shove it off. It fell on the floor and the spider got squashed. Another spider appeared from the damaged web and approached me. I got disgusted and tried to shove it away but the web was sticky and it partly stuck on my fingers. It felt very repulsive.

I don't know how the spider episode ended but me and Jimmy entered another room and it was decorated with very old furniture. We approached a child bed that we thought was very typical of the old furniture style. It didn't really look like a bed, it was more like a strange cloth tube. It lead to another room and I think we were going to enter it through the bed.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

It began on muddy waters of an ocean (no idea why the ocean was muddy) with two giant engine-propelled rafts moving while facing each other and keeping a consistent distance apart. Each raft had four players. one was a driver, another a turret gunner and two near the back a rifleman, possible Master Chief from Halo, and an RPG holder. I was the latter in the back right corner where the rocky shore was close to my right flank. I recall running up and popping off rockets that killed a lot of my opponents. I only had three shots though and ran for whatever little cover I could find when the opponent RPG holder lobbed rockets towards us. I recall getting slain.

Later that afternoon on the beach I came before a five-story Japanese style building on the shoreline with dozens of docks branching out from it in all directions. Turns out it was a research center. My two younger cousins were running around inside as it was their birthday. Stumbling upon their presents all on a giant table I find my mom there and try opening one of the small black boxes. Surprisingly she doesn't get mad at this.

Later I run into a very old looking man with decaying teeth and only some hair remaining. He recognizes me in amazement yet I do not. I pick my brain and realize he was a teacher a few years ago. He asks how I still looked so incredibly young to which I respond I'm the son of the student he remembers. He does not question further and neither do I seem to question the reason I've (or he has) apparently leapt ahead in time. He takes me down a set of stairs into his secret laboratory that's really just a bright white carpeted area with a hot tub installed and a bunch of workers chatting around said tub. There was even a sink in the corner with a Dexter's Laboratory toy and a sliding glass door where you could look out upon the ocean.

Leaving, I end the dream walking along the planks over the sand where the place is now bustling with thousands of young adults. They're all talking about how today was the last day of school. Some students mistake me as one who'll join them on some field trip. I feel kind of bad that I can't share their happiness but shrug it off.

Spitting (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

My pal Jochen and me sat on a balcony of an apartment house. We didn't do anything but spitting down on to the yard.

Dreams recalled: 8

Another night with lots of dreams, none of them lucid.

I was at some school I had never been to, but people I knew were there. Turned into a couple of the later dreams

My friends fiance came up to me telling me that he needed me to go with my friend to something, because she couldn't do it without me there(??) I kept thinking, you're her effing fiance... and your asking another guy to help her!? Thats your job be a man...

Another dream in the school I had mysteriously lost my pants... I got out as quickly as possible and was suddenly down the street from my house. (I think I took the bus??) Except now instead of just my pants being gone, I was completely naked. I took off running towards my house, trying to cover myself as best I could, and tried going behind some buildings. The dream ended before I could get home.

I went to what I thought was a shooting range. I was outside the building and lots of people were trying to sign up to shoot so I thought I would too. There was a list of the different guns you could shoot, but you needed some kind of license to do all of them except a pistol. I had to go with that lol.

The dream ended but picked up again later. This time I was walking through some buildings to find the shooting range, but instead found some sort of huge event where people were playing a bunch of really big games. I walked all the way to the end of a strangely long building, but just more games.

I was trying to leave a parking lot, but it had been flooded. People tried driving over other cars in big trucks, but didnt get far. The water level was then right at the tops of cars, and I started to slide across them somehow and made it quite a ways before it stopped working. I started talking to people about what to do and the dream ended.

Talking to my bosses wife at work, she told me some bad things about myself, and I realized in the dream my ex gf had told her stuff. She also told me something about how I'm prone to getting arrested. The dream me had been arrested a few times I guess, but my response was: but I have zero convictions, though. I've just made some bad decisions. (LOL)

The last dream was lengthy and weird. I was with a friend, who's dating another friend IRL. We were talking about something in a second story room of a building, and the dream almost turned sexual as she was topless suddenly, and things started to happen. It randomly changed back to normal and a weird game of hide and seek started. It was night time and I jumped off the balcony to the ground. There was a strange square hole for some kind of water system or something with equipment running down it but the bottom was black, it felt endless. It was about 5x5 feet and I climbed in anyways, just barely getting below ground level clutching to random ledges and pipes. I think she found me but I dont remember. I was suddenly back on the balcony, which was more like a walkway because it wrapped all the way around the building. I was 'hiding' again, and one of my managers from work was below me looking for me this time. Very weird, but funny.

Tried Hargarts FILD method for the second time, still no success.

[I]this was a long ass dream, but I only remember frags[/I]

NOTES

In many houses, on a river...

waiting for a boat.

Leaving my house, going to another

A strange "mother" presence is shadowing me

I put on a green parka to disguise myself
like one she used to wear

A hectic but decent night, lots of small fragments, but some vivid dreams. As well as a dream in which I discuss lucid dreaming.

The Ship is Sinking (non-lucid)

The dream starts at my Aunt's house. I meet this girl with a strip of purple hair. She seems pretty cool. She is a poet and hands me a folded piece of paper. I read the poem but don't remember it. We walk further and the location turns to a beach. Transition. We are am on a ship but it is sinking. The cabin is filling with water and a shark is repeatedly crashing into the window. Old gramps is there. I haven't seen him in a long time. Eventually the water is too high and we must leave the ship. Gramps goes first to distract the shark. We swim and reach shore. Later I remember an areial view of people surfing over a giant manta ray thing.

Notes: I must have had 3 or 4 shark and water disaster dreams. I didn't write them all down because I lost my pen during the night and my journal was open (weird, I had to rc).

BroX's Wants to LD (non-lucid)

BroX, BroY, and I are playing video games in my room while relatives talk downstairs. BroY is just being really annoying. He is poking us and unplugging controllers and stuff so I beat him up. BroX said he was looking through my dresser for something and found my book on lucid dreaming. We go downstairs and he asks questions. Said he is really freaked out about sleep paralysis. He asks how many Lds I've had and I accurately remember. BroZ is there and said he had only a few.

Crazy Women (non-lucid)

One of the first dreams of the night. I don't remember the beginning. I exit...somewhere. It is dark and storming outside. A gray car speeds away throwing gravel and dust into the air. Something is wrong. I have been left here. I see some cars but they don't have keys in them. One is a co-workers car. I enter the only house around. This point is real vivid. I see a fireplace and some cats lounging. I pick up the phone and dial (totm!). “This phone is not connected.” it says. “Damn it. I am trapped here by this insane women's house!” End.

Slept between 1:00a-10:00a

1:00a-5:15a
Cave in
I was inside a cave with a bunch of people, including Darren. We needed to evacuate, because the cave was starting to crumble down upon us. A little fuzzy on how this bit went, but Darren flung me out of the "room" we were in, and I was being carried off by something. I could see him getting smaller, and I had my hand stretched out towards him.

In the next room, all the "flooring" of the cave started crumbling and breaking apart. I got sent into some water, but I came up onto another piece of rock which carried me outside, out of the mouth of the cave. The whole scene was being narrated by someone who sounded like Gandalf/Lord of the Rings I remember him saying something like, "It was only by a lucky bit of fate that Serenity managed to get hurled into the water, only to come up on the piece of rock that would carry her outside of the cave, just before it collapsed completely." Right...

The survivors helped me up and I looked around. I couldn't see Darren. "Is this... it?" I asked.

"This is all who made it out," one guy answered me, sadly.

"No, Darren!" I buried my head in my hands.

Off in the distance, I heard Excel's voice (from Excel Saga, and yes, she was animated, where everything else was RL). She was with our group when Darren threw me out! I looked over and saw Excel first, then, standing next to her was Darren, smiling at me. I ran towards him as the dream faded.

Dreaming about work, more negative imagery, ideas, situations, etc. Nothing complete, only fragments and memory of certain places of the building.

Dreaming about her, talking about getting back together with her with other people. A lot of negative imagery and opinions from DCs.

07/06/2010

During a half-asleep almost-dream, I become convinced that I am a pot. Like, one of those black with white specks pot-roast pots. As the pot, I began to dream.

In this dream within a dream, I am a person walking through a dark alley. I'm set upon by three muggers. I try to reason with them, but they aren't hearing it, since I don't have any money for them to steal. I dispatch them quickly, and fade into the shadows.

Later, I'm standing on the roof of a school building, hanging out with a parkour group. Most of the walls around me (there are higher levels of the roof) are covered in graffiti. There's a couple of hard-to-reach spots that are blank, and I try to figure out how to get a mural up there.

I go inside, but the main hallway is "Closed for Reconstruction". I walk down a hallway across from the dark, closed one. The closed hallway turns into bedrooms, and later turns into meeting rooms for visiting politicians. I get to the end of the hallway, which looks like the lobby of a bank.

There's a woman who looks like the elemental from Chronicles of Riddick. I go talk to her.

Pots and Kettles. Scare Factor: 1.

Football practice. Involved climbing up a tall pole in the middle of a football field. Also, swimming in a pool that was in a middle of a football field. Bunch of spectators.

________

Playing an odd xbox video game, dont remember exactly what it was about. Then went outside and starting playing a sport that involved tackling people, I don't remember how it was played exactly. I just remembered it involved touching a wall at first and running after opponents.

I had signed up to be an astronaut. I dont remember the liftoff, but I remember being in the rocket shortly after it. It was me and 2 other guys on our way to the moon. One of the other guys had to go injo cryogenic sleep. He was the one that was landing on the moon ( Me and the other guy werent for some reason) I dont really remember but I think something went wrong and we werent able to land on the moon.
The aftermath was the biggest part of the dream. We had all gotten home safely but everything in our lives went wrong after that. We had "a couple of diamonds" according to a narration I heard. But our families hated us for some reason. My aunt had threatened me for some reason and nobody seemed to give a rats hat that I had just come from space. Thats all I remember, I wish I could remember the parts about the cryogenic sleep.

I was on a train with my mom and my brother and I was on my way to school. We sat across from a girl and her mom. The girl looked about my age. We went on the same way for a few days sitting across from the girl and her mom for a few days but never paying attention to them (I think we werent suppsed to talk to anyone on the train, or anywhere for that matter). One day on the way off the train, the girl slipped a note into my hand. It said "I love you."
I didnt really know what to think. I saw her the next day on the train. We didn't look at each other a whole lot, but I could tell she was thinking about me. The rest of the dream was quite hazy, but I know that we met in a bathroom and kissed. I really wish I could remember more details, my favorite dream by far

I dreamed of cooking food... corn on the cob, lasagna, cheesy garlic bread. I was at my grandmothers house. We spoke about what veggies go with what main courses and, for some reason, I had to explain what cheesy garlic bread is.

In another dream, I wrote down 2 names. They both started with "V" and were really cool names, but I don't recall what they were. From those 2 names, I created manuscript outline

In another dream, I was a guy. I was with 2 other people in a very remote location. We had to set up some sort of machine that sort of hovered above a rock and read the terrain for miles. It also located weaknesses in the earths crust and minerals. It was set up in a cave and there was an area we could dig just feet away. A woman hit the area with a shovel and the ground crumbled more than anticipated and put the mission and our lives at jeopardy.

In another dream, I spoke to a teacher of my youngest daughter. It was the last 2 weeks of school and he had to shuffle her schedule around some because he was going to be unavailable during the last week.

My family was in a car and my dad was driving. We were driving in some big empty building. My dad was driving full speed towards a wall. I figured he would stop at the last second, but he didnt, and we burst through the wall, but it didnt even slow us down a bit. We kept driving through a few more walls when we came to a wall that was on fire. My dad said he couldnt drive through this one, and he was mad that he couldnt destroy any more walls
Funny dream lol
