non-lucid

NO! I once again was not lucid. My journey was a disaster again! So anyway, we were traveling across a snowy tundra, up to a volcano we had to travel over. There were many chasms along the way, so we used jet-packs. On the downside, the snowy weather made our jet-packs malfunction. So many of us fell down the chasms. By the time we made it to the volcano, we realized it was far too dangerous to advance. So we had to once again postpone the journey. Ugh.

I think my chain of dreams started in a dream where I was at some random person's house. I have clue who she is, but if I recall correctly, she was asian. I was at her house, and we were trying to find something to do. We went upstairs to her bedroom and started to play some video games.

I then ended up watching a Katamari Damacy game. It was a 2 play game. Both of the katamaris were started at the top of this giant hill of stuff. Most of it resembled a bunch of cafes and shops on this giant mountain. I followed it down as it tumbled along the side and picked up random things: chairs, people, tables, food, trees, rocks, and anything else in its way.

In the next dream I was on some random ranch. At first I was with my friends among all of these random horses. This person said that we could ride for a short bit before we had to do something else. I asked if we could ride bareback since it was pointless to groom and tack them if there was only a short time. They said it was ok, and told us to get the bridles.

Later on, I ended up roaming around the vast property with only me and this silver horse. I would walk around a bit with her and sort of sling myself onto her back when she wasn't expecting it. She had neither saddle nor bridle on (but for some reason, a lead rope). I think I was trying to find people or something. The dream was long.

My last dream was in my bedroom. It was like a bunch of FAs. I kept waking up to look at the clock. I had to get out of bed at around 10:30 at the latest. The first time I looked it was about 9:00; the second time it was past 11:30. I was pissed. I quickly got up and grabbed a half rotten banana and called EM and told her I would be there as soon as possible. I then went to find a granola bar. When I glanced inside the box, there were 2 bars, but they were opened and kind of melted into each other. I shook my head in frustration and grabbed the one with more chocolate chips. I then texted EM something because she had hung up on me too soon. Eventually I woke IRL and realized it was only 7:15 (phew!).

Don't STOP at the STOP Sign:
Well, I think I was the one driving a vehicle and up ahead was a stop sign. There was a passenger with me, but, can't recall any details. I stopped at the stop sign but then the car wouldn't move. We had to get out to try and push it.

Thoughts: I had a couple more dreams that I should have recalled but when I woke up, my brain was sooo scrambled with the different dreams that I was lucky to even catch this one I wasn't able to think straight and even when I tried to recall the others, I was getting blanks. Doesn't help my recall that I had to get out of bed and didn't have as much time as I wanted to try and recall some more. Interesting enough, lately I noticed that it seems that whenever I recall a dream, I should write it down instanteously otherwise I will forget it. It was never the case before

I dreampt that me and my girlfriend got out of bed, and she had just taken a shower and she went to her dog and said " ready to go bye bye?" lol but then i woke up in my bed again.

Dancing in a grocery store parking lot with random girls. Lost my sunglasses in a strangers caravan. Watched a documentary about one of david spades famous comedy lines about a man who dressed in a mermaid outfit who would appear in a big sail boat coming out of the depths of the sea near a beach.

_______

Dream involved being a police officer and walking down the street while talking to a female officer. I dropped my keys. It begins snowing. We go to my neighbors house for sour and sweet twizzlers and a cup of hot chocolate. My neighbor heats of the hot chocolate with an electric powered heated plate that he plugged into a wall. Me and the female officer head back to my place, but for some reason most of my clothes are gone and it is frigid cold outside from the snow.

Dream had something to do with lucid dream, but was not an LD. I forget what it was about.

Three dreams last night that I remember - much better than it has been lately. None of them were lucid, but they were all very vivid....of course, I've been so busy today I haven't had a chance to write, so some of this will be more abridged than the dream really was.

I am at a wedding, helping to prepare the reception room. There are many people milling about, and I am setting a table. I see my friend from 10 years ago, and start to talk to her. As we are talking, about what I'm not sure, my cousin approaches me. We do not have a good relationship. She starts to call me all sorts of derogatory names, saying that I ruined her life and her reputation. I tell her she did that herself with the choices that she made. Other people at the wedding lead us away from each other, and I find myself walking along a rocky beach, with the reception building up above on a cliff. My cousin follows me down the steps and again starts to argue with me, saying that she is going to tell everyone what I am really like and that she is going to destroy my standing in the family. I tell her that she is welcome to try, and that even if everyone takes her side, I don't care, because I know what is right and wrong. I wake up feeling very, very tense.

Next, I am on the run from someone, something. Very "24"-esque. I am not myself - I am a man, though I don't know my name. I duck into an alleyway and lift up the curtain of a street vendor who is there to see what is going on inside the building I am near. I decide to take shelter in the building.

Inside, there is an auditorium full of people, and the lights are dimmed. As I walk in, there are several guards by every doorway, and one of them hands me a device. It reminds me of the neck of a guitar, though with the consistency of blown glass. There is a larger end on one end of it, and it does not seem to be fragile. As I look around, I see that everyone has one of these devices, and they are all an odd, sickly shade of pinkish orange. I take a seat in the back row of the auditorium and watch. A man stands in the front and the lights fade, and he tells the room that we are about to start the challenge. The challenge is to survive. The devices that we have are really weapons, fired like guns, though they are nearly silent, only making a small, quiet "pop" sound, as though the air has been slightly disturbed. He tells us we are to hunt one another until the last person is standing. At this point, I believe that they don't remember I am here, and duck down so I can not be seen in the back. The man states that if we do not fight, we must kill ourselves, and then commands someone in the room to demonstrate. A spotlight falls on the man, who places the device to his mouth and activates it, but nothing happens. The man at the front tells him he must have his eyes open for it to work as a suicide device - the man opens his eyes, uses the device, and falls over dead.

The melee begins. I do not want to take part in this group extermination. I slip out the back of the room into a stairwell, and climb quickly to the top. There are three doors. I pick the lock on one that leads to a landing over a long drop into a service shaft. I pull the door behind me and hold the knob so that as people approach it, they believe that it is locked. I know this will work, as it seems that the players are abiding by some sort of rules. Several people try the door. After a while, I slip down into the service shaft and hang by my fingers, the odd device held in my left hand, waiting for someone to come through the door. They never come.

I enter the hallway and make my way to the rooftop. There are bodies everywhere. I sense some following me, but they don't catch up. On the roof, a zeppelin flies down, and I climb aboard. Another zeppelin gives chase, but they are weighed down with elephants for some reason and can't keep up. At no point did I ever question this reality or was I able to wake myself up in the dream. Ah well.

And last, this fragment - I work in a pet store, and I am trying to transfer a beta fish to a new tank, however this process is unusually complicated. I have to use a piping tube to siphon the water from his current tank into a bag, chill the water to nearly freezing, and then pipe it to a new tank. Somewhere in this process, it starts to fall apart, and I have to save the fish and the babies that are now in the water as well. I reach in with my hand to move the babies, and can feel them squirming in my palm as i lift them from one tank to another safely.

Trying DIELD again tonight, maybe I'll find some lucidity.

University, Aquarium and Coolers:
I was needed at the university to fix something. It seemed that only I could do it and time was pretty short. I was getting a drive there in a small black car from a lady who is a customer at my work IRL. She stopped the car near my house and waited for me. I saw her from the window and she saw me. I think we exchanged hi's and how are you's before I went to dress. I started to get dressed and so did my family, since, they were interested in coming with us. For some odd reason, we completely ignored the car instead deciding to take the bus. I ended up missing 2 different buses and time was almost out. After missing the last bus and walking back home, I spotted the same lady ahead of me walking in the direction of the house with my sister. It seemed that they were going to the university together and they have found someone else to fix whatever it was that needed fixing(this was somehow conveyed to me).
The dream skips and I recall seeing an aquarium. It was a little bit bigger than average with black rims towards the top. It had yellowish-brown colored rocks at the bottom and there were rocks stacked up making two columns. Both of these columns were surrounded by bubbles which were continously rising to the top.
Dream skips again and I'm in my bedroom at home. I looked out the window to my left and saw my neighbour, her son and another neighbour's daughter. They had a large blue cooler which was as big as a small swimming pool. It contained what looked like a mixture of water(ice melting) along with some juices and drinks that might have accidently spilled in it. The girl tried to take a large juice bottle which had several colors on its label(green, yellow, etc....) and was partially filled(very little left). My neighbour took the bottle back by force and put it back into the cooler. The girl took it out again claiming that it's hers. My neighbour once again took it by force from her saying that it's her son's bottle. I think she tried to take it a third time.

Thoughts: Finally, a nice, long and somewhat interesting dream. Definitely one of the better ones when compared to my recent dreams. I'm starting to wonder whether they were separate dreams or not but since they seemed to be linked together when I wrote them down, I might as well leave them be.

Note: Here are a couple of non-lucid fragments I remember from the rest of the night… they really don't make a lot of sense at all and sound rather retarded, but I have been posting everything, so here they are:

*Archery Competition*
I was in my house. I was practicing archery right there in the house. There were targets hung on the wall and there were several other people there with me, also practicing their archery skills. I was doing pretty well, hitting the target on most of my shots. I fired a few more and then realized I was out of arrows… crap. I asked someone to get me more arrows, and he came back with crap. He said he couldn't find any arrows, so he had found a bunch of junk. He handed me several pencils, a couple of knitting hooks, and an awkwardly shaped stick… um… I wasn't sure how I was supposed to practice archery with that. I put a knitting needle in my bow and fired. Of course it wasn't easily aimed. The knitting needle embedded itself in the head of another archer. He reached back and pulled it out. He looked irritatedly at me and said I should watch what I was doing before I hurt someone. A thick pus was oozing from his head wound, but he didn't notice or didn't care… Somehow I found some arrows to shoot and went back to practicing with arrows. Maybe shooting knitting needles had thrown me off, because my first arrow missed the mark majorly and stuck into our flat screen TV! I went over and pulled it out, needless to say there was a hole. I found the missing pieces and was trying to put it back together like a puzzle… would the cracks be noticed? Probably… then I would have to pay to have it replaced. Damn… I don't have that kind of money!

*Parking Maze*
I was in a data center like in the hospitals where I used to work. In the dream, I still held a job there. I was getting off work now. I left the office and met James, my ex boyfriend, outside the office. In the dream I guess he wasn't my ex… we headed down the hall and to the elevator. This was the beginning of the weirdness… the elevator didn't go down, only up. We went up about five floors, then we had to find another elevator that would take us to the parking level. What a pain. We got to the parking garage. That, too, was confusing. I knew I had parked on the 3rd level of the parking garage, but I couldn't find stairs that led there. James and I looked endlessly. We were getting mad at each other for being lost. He said I can never find the right path… I told him we had been following his directions. He didn't have a response, and we finally found my car. Now to get out… which proved to be even harder. The parking structure was a maze of up and down ramps, dead ends, and loops that were easy to get stuck in. James said it would be quicker for him to walk. I told him to get out and do so, then. He didn't want to get out. I finally found the exit from the parking garage, but there was a giant sinkhole blocking the road. I knew there was another exit, but we would have to find that one… which promised to be a huge pain in the ass…

*Grand Theft Yu-Gi-Oh*
I was in my car driving down the road. It was a bright sunny day, and there was not much traffic. I had time to kill before I could go home. I didn't want to get home before my mother expected me. If I did, she would have me doing chores or cleaning or doing some kind of manual labor. I didn't want to do that. I saw a collector's card shop and decided to go in. I parked and went inside. There were so many different kinds of collectable cards. Many of them were from CCG (collectable card games) such as Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic the Gathering, etc. There were cards from sets I had never heard of. I saw a few sample cards… and it looked like a deck with those would be unstoppable. All cards were guaranteed to be tournament legal (at least until they became more widely known and might be banned), extremely rare, and neigh impossible to lose with. They were also extremely expensive. I wanted them. I thought I could go to the next Yu-Gi-Oh tournament and wipe the floor with my ex boyfriend, who sometimes plays in those tournaments. I thought I could at least kick ass in the tournaments. I started slipping packs of the cards into my purse. I took quite a few, though I don't know how many. I walked out of the store. The owner of the store was trying to stop me. I was sure he had seen me steal the cards. I reached for my keys to leave… I couldn't find them. Damn! Of all the luck. They were probably buried under stolen Yu-Gi-Oh cards. The shop owner caught up with me. I was definitely busted. He handed me my keys and said I had left those inside. I thanked him, and made a note to myself that after I won a couple of tournaments I would be sure and bring money back here for that shop since the owner had been so nice.

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

LOL, I just remembered this by seeing a thread about a dream about Toy Story .

So, the toys I saw were Woody and Jessie. Jessie right now had blonde hair, sittin nicely. Woody was drooling. Then she took off her blonde hair, and he stopped drooling. She put it back on, and Woody's face went back .

So, Woody likes blondies, .

First of all, I'm not sure if this was actually a year long dream, or if there was just a bunch of time skips. Anyway, here it is.

I had lived in a large house with the people in it for at least a year. the people knew me well, and I knew them well. you could say we where a family. there was a benevolent spirit in the basement fireplace, he took the form of the face in the magic mirror from snow white. he had helped me on several occasions.

It was time for me to return to the belfry spirit (the bell tower of a church, not sure if I spelled that right). it was a malevolent spirit that I had been working for. I traveled to the belfry and climbed to the top of the tower, he gave me my mission, kill everyone in the house that I had been staying at. he materialized a screwdriver and a rectangular piece of metal to use as the tools that I would use. I told him, "an eye for an eye makes us all blind" and I threw the tools out of the window.

This infuriated him, the next thing I knew, I was in the back seat of a car that was speeding to the house. when we got there, the spirit of the belfry wanted to do battle with the spirit of the fireplace. I ran into the house shouting, "EMERGENCY!" everyone started down the stairs and leaving, I ran downstairs, there was one more person, but she wouldn't budge, so I left her. I ran to the fireplace, but I woke up before I was able to contact the spirit.

Entry on 5/4

I don't remember how it started, but I was in a room sitting at a desk with Malcolm from the show "Malcolm in the Middle." We were just sitting there doing math when we needed to save something like on a computer. A window popped up in front of us, like it would on a computer. I started to save, but I dropped it. We were scared it was broke and he told me to pick it back up. I have a little bit of a gray spot here. Then we went outside and his two older brothers(Reese and Francis) were sitting there in a van. They were cleaning it out so Malcolm and I decided to help. In it Malcolm found a fuzzy basket ball stuffed with half-filled cans of what I believe was Sprite. He threw it at me and I punted it across the yard. Then we all kicked it around for a bit before I woke up.

Really wish I'd gotten lucid.

I don't remember the beginning of this dream - its probably the longest one I've had for a while. What I do remember though, are small fragments. It started while I was playing a video game. I thought that this game was rubish because I was driving a car in a city, and the road was made of sqares that moved down when I drove on them, so i kept crashing. After this, I remember watching a war in the city between two robot armies and then they jioned together to fight some other robots that appeared. The next thing I rememeber is being in a building with two or three people in a different city. The city was infested with zombies but i dont remember what we had to do in the building. Anyway I sent a scout helicopter (a mini rc one) to do something (cant remember what) but then a monster/zombie saw it and soon there were loads coming towards the building. I wasn't scared because I knew that we had enough machine guns to stop them. After that I remember going into a zombie infested shopping centre/mall, but the zombies didnt attack if we didnt disturb them. I went into a shop that sold antiques with lots of people inside, and met one of the twins from skins (I dont know which one). She said she lost her sister and naomi so I said i'd help her because it was better than just staying in the shop bored. Then someone shot their gun (i think it was me) and the zombies started to run towards the shop. I pulled down the meshes (things they pull down when they close the shop) but there was a gap where there was no mesh to pull down (the meshes were weird because they wernt flat, they were shaped like tall hill-like things, that are hard to explain). Everyone in the shop started shooting them so they didnt get in. After that we left the mall, then the next thing i remember is seeing lots of zombies escaping the mall, with lots of soldiers shooting them. I tries to help by shooting, but my pen (that was a gun in the dream) didnt workbecause it was a ball-point pen and the soldiers were angry at me because they thought i was have shot the because i was behind them and the zombies were directly in front of them. After that I remember being in an allyway with the twin from skins and then a bunch of bikers were there but I dont remember the rest. I then remember running out of a garden because a REALLY fat zombie (she was shaped like a ball) was chasig after us and was getting even more angry becuase we were using her trampoline to jump over the fence, and she didn't like that (or she didnt like us touching the netting around it). I then remember going back into the fat zombies house, and she had lost weight, and turned to normal. I then said sorry to her for the trampoline thing. I became lucid here and walked around her house, rubbing my hands trying to stay lucid. After that I came out of lucidity and did something else that I can't remember but it might have been something I wrote already because i'm not even sure if its in the right order :S.

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

In this dream, I am in this room that is my bedroom-but I am not in my house. I think it may have to do with my school fragment, but they seem totally separate. The room was pretty big, more beds then I was in. I was in a full bed, I believe, in the middle of the room. There were 2 or 3 other beds. I think the bedspreads were black. It was PRETTY dark in there, but not pitch black. It seemed kinda creepy... So, I am trying to fall asleep in the bed I am in. I was a bit spooked when I saw this lady in a fancy black tight bun and a black dress in the closet-when I CLOSED my eyes. I wanted to keep them closed, though, because that's what you usually do. I then just give up and keep my eye closed. I thought it might be a WILD type thing, since I was in the dream right away. And, no, I didn't become lucid . Well, the lady in black with my eyes closed, because that is when I see her, walks around my bed. I am scared that she is going to touch me or something...but, thankfully she does not and goes on one of the beds to my left. It was strange, with my eyes closed, with the action I saw, it felt like they were open...

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTOINLUCID

In this dream, I start out in a theater, and am with two people I know for real. One person is about to go onstage to do a ballerina type performance. I was watching from kinda the backstage, side of the stage, but far enough away that no one in the audience could see me clearly. It was a decent sized theater. So, one of the people I was with went on stage to perform, she wasn't quite dressed for the part. She had this fancy gray tank top on, kinda like what ballerina's wear, but only the top part. She was wearing shorts on stage-she had no time to change. Her routine seemed simple to me, but nevertheless, she did pretty well. The crowd loved her, regardless of her outfit. Then I saw her and the other person I was with go backstage. I went there too.

Now, it doesn't really LOOK like we are back stage. We are in this large bedroom type thing, with a good dozen girls in it. There are many beds. The room looked drabby to me. I lay on the bed with the girl that didn't perform. I think she had some sheet of paper on her...She out of the blue mentioned how I don't speak very nicely...That hurt, because I speak quite nicely, I think. I think this happened because I like her and everything, but she just seems SO nice, and like a goody two shoes. I thought I kinda was, but multiply me by 5 .



This is kinda a different dream, but it is the same idea, unfortuanatly. I was in this bedroom with one of my friends IRL, and her best friend. My friend tells me how she doesn't like my 'inuendos'-I think that is what she called it...like, some of the ways that I say things. I don't swear or anything, so I wanted her to elaborate....I am quite confused, I think I talk just perfectly fine! They have this book with them about 'inuendos' . Like, a paragraph story as to how they're 'bad' and can be 'taken the wrong way'. Some of the things she mentioned is that I say 'heck', and 'hot'-the story for that one was a goat dying of heat on the sun . There were a couple others that I don't remember. Her friend said some of the things too (even though she doesn't really know me), but wasn't as nice about it. When I asked about the last one, I was getting teary-eyed, she hesitated in continuing, but I told her too. They have this chalkboard and start to do some math, adding and subracting, fractions...to see how much they liked me still! My friend was at 2, and her friend lower then that somewhere...I even saw as a joke 2 people wrote -2 and -3...some people I probably know IRL that used to tease me... That was when I was starting to think about writing into the magazine I read, Girl's Life, and ask them what was wrong with saying 'heck' and calling guys hot now and then .

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

I was in some school in this dream. I was in the cafeteria, looking for some of my friends...I saw no one. Then I noticed that I just have lunch money which my mom had to send into the school because I didn't have a cold lunch like normal. I didn't se any friends, and I was without my NORMAL lunch food.

Then the scene changes. I am with some people, and aparently if you have a car, you're allowed to leave campus. I am getting my liscense soon, and I mentioned to a senior I believe that I should be able to leave too-by foot, since we were in a city and I could get food nearby. One girl near us mentions that she is 16 and has a car and leaves. She had this enthusiastic look on her face. The senior girl was kind of thinking about my suggestion.
