False Awakenings (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I tried to WILD in the morning- probably too late though, it was at the time I usually get up at.

1) False awakening in my own bed. I thought "God sake, it must be these earphones I've got in, keeping me awake." They were playing "Hey Jude" very loudly. I was reluctant to take them out and turn off the player because it would mean moving. I decided I had to in the end, because it would just go on to the next song. I couldn't figure out how to turn the device off. It was my brother's. I probably should have questioned this a bit more and become lucid, but no such luck.

2) False awakening in my own bed. There was commotion downstairs, as if one of my brothers had just come home from school. I drowsily got up and went down to investigate. My brother said he had been to some sort of presentation in a science museum about the solar system and other planets. He said that Princes William and Harry had been there, so it must have been a big deal. He showed me a model of a planet he had made while there. It was on orange superglued onto a slightly larger orange, but so tightly they loooked almost like one sphere. There was a little bit of missing time, and the next thing I remember was walking up to the off-license to buy some kind of drink. I then realised I didn't have my ID or money with me, but kept walking while I thought about what to do. In real life I would have immediately turned round and gone back to my house to get what I needed, and I should have questioned the fact that I pointlessly walked on for ages here.

Time-Travelling Assassin (Non-lucid)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID


This dream took place, maybe 50 years in the future, judging by the technology in the cars. I was chasing a girl who had information I needed. I followed her down a winding mountain road with very long corners. I had to do some drifting in my car, but this was no problem as the car was controlled by all sorts of high-tech computers and could drift all day if it needed to. In the girl's car was another guy, who I think was japanese. I chased them to the very bottom of the mountain, and into a barley field. She finally admitted defeat and stopped in a clear patch to see what I actually wanted. I pulled up alongside and asked her a question about the future. I can't remember what it was exactly, only that it involved war in some way. She immediately got very cagey and paranoid. Then a voice from her car's computer said, "Analysing vehicle... This car is unregistered and is therefore illegal." (Talking about mine) I explained that I had brought the car back with me from the future and it was important to me. The girl refused point blank to answer my question, but hinted that a certain woman was the only one who could. She sped off back up the hill so fast (using nitro) that her un-seatbelted companion was thrown backwards out of the car. (It was a convertible) I offered him a ride, since I planned to follow her anyway.

I explained my predicament to the japanese guy on the way up the hill, and he gladly cooperated. He told me that this "crazy cat lady" as he called her, could answer my questions, and that the girl I had just met was more than likely on her way to see her right now. He gave me directions to the housing development where she lived. On the way, he phoned the girl in the other car, but so as not to make her more paranoid, said only that I had offered him a lift, and he had accepted. I got out of the car at a road on the edge of the general area where my companion told me the woman lived. I suddenly had the power to fly, but thought nothing of it. I floated over several identical white houses. They were all somewhere between wooden houses and trailer homes, and all had a small garden. Sometimes I would land and have a quick look around to see if this looked like the place I was after. I was able to tell by looking out for pet gravestones. I reasoned that if this woman was as into cats as the japanese guy had said, I would find some sort of evidence in the garden. About the tenth garden I landed in had no grass, just stones. I saw that there was an unmistakable cat gravestone in the middle, but a lot of dog crap around the garden. The japanese guy landed beside me and looked puzzled. Then an old woman of about 55 came out of the back door. He said, "That's her!" I went to approach her to ask my question, but was interrupted by the girl, who followed the woman out of the house. She was very angry at me for having followed her, but even angrier at her friend for helping me. She berated him for about 2 minutes, during which time I couldn't get a word in edgeways to speak to anyone. I entertained myself my doing flying pushups on the fence. My feet would levitate in the air directly above my head, and I would push myself up and down.

Eventually they stopped arguing, and to my surprise, I was invited inside by the old woman. The girl and guy waited in the garden. It turned out she was definately more of a dog woman than a cat woman, I could smell dog in the house. I talked to her for a few minutes (I still can't remember what was so important) and she went to a cupboard and got out some parchment. It looked very old, but she said it was a newspaper from the future, during the war. She put it on a stand in the middle of the kitchen and squirted some kind of brown liquid on it. This made writing and pictures appear on the parchment, which had been almost blank before. I tried to read it, but then the woman's husband came in. He was japanese as well, and enormous. He was quite old, but looked like an ex-sumo wrestler or something. He was angry and afraid, and tried to destroy the parchment with the top of a broom handle. He said,
"No! You can't read this! It says I become involved with warlords in the future! We shouldn't know things like this, I don't want to know!" I tried to stop him, but he was immensely strong. At this time the girl burst into the kitchen and grabbed the parchment. She threw it out into the back garden, looking as terrified as the huge man. I remembered reading something on the parchment, a poem, which included the line, "...the way out through a quick stone passage..." Suddenly the ground started to shake and the roof began to cave in. However, more than the roof was falling. It was as if the house was in a cave, and rocks were falling all around us. For an instant, there was only one safe way out of the house. So much rock had fallen that it created walls on either side of one single gap. I could only see the girl. I shouted, "Do you think this is the quick stone passage?" with a slight grin. She seemed to agree and we both charged down it while rocks fell around and behind us, filling the passage in.



When we reached the front door, there was a sheer drop below, of thousands of feet. We dove head first off it without a second thought, a la Assassin's Creed. On the descent, I saw an opening in the ground below, shaped like an eagle. The girl saw it too, and we picked up incedible speed and flew right down it. I somehow knew then that there would be symbols for a male and female eagle for us to follow at the bottom. We landed in a giant underground lake, where we dove under. She saw an opening marked with what was unmistakably a female eagle, and I saw a male eagle marker pointing me deeper. The water was very dark and cold. When I got to a certain depth, the stone walls of the lake opened up into a much wider underwater cave. Unfortunately this is where I woke up.

Going To War (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This one started at the lead up to the battle of Helm's Deep, from Lord of the Rings. I was Aragorn, doing that thing where he swings the kid's sword about. I swung it around very fast indeed, then gave it back to him and he did the same. I said, "That sword is good. Any sword which has seen the fires of the Second Age will be strong." Presumably this is something Aragorn would say, I can't make head nor tail of it. I went to the armory, where I picked up a large amount of plate armour. My helmet was stifling. It covered my entire face apart from two very small slits for eyeholes. I decided to keep it open until I saw the enemy.

We then recieved the order to troop outside. My squad ran ahead of the rest, jumping over cordons and pushing past people to get to the front of the line. I soon found out the purpose of this was to be the first to the tanks. Yes, tanks. I simply followed the rest of them up a steep hill to where three bright yellow tanks were parked. Apparently all the vehicles, helicopters and artillery in this army were a kind of canary-yellow metal. The inside of the tank was just like the interior of a touring caravan. There wasn't much in the way of military controls- one driver, one gunner and several passengers. I was one of the passengers. A girl who was sitting opposite me on the corner settee asked if I'd ever read the works of the three ancient poets. I said I had, and promptly pulled out a book which contained translations of the plays and poems of three ancient Greek poets. One of them was Sophocles. I can't remember what the other two were.



Our tank followed a convoy of vehicles out of the base, and spent a lot of time patrolling roads near my house. There were yellow battleships in every river and yellow trucks on every road, but no sign of the enemy. Suddenly, one of the tanks in front of us stopped, and a guy on a yellow moped dropped out the bottom. The tank drove on, but the guy on the bike had some difficulty starting his engine. He got it started just in time to avoid being flattened by an oncoming bus. I was bored of sitting in the tank, so I got on our tank's moped and dropped out. I found that it was pretty slow, and it was a lot of effort to keep up with the convoy, as they kept making unexpected turns. In the end, the enemy never did materialize.

The FACE (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was the creepy result of a false awakening and the position of a certain painting in my room.
There is a painting of a cow on the wall opposite my bed, so I can see it when I lie on my back. This invaded my dreams.

I had a false awakening in my own bed, and I looked at the wall opposite me. I saw that the painting on my wall was not a cow as I had always imagined, but a face in disguise. When I looked at the painting when I woke up, in semi-darkness, I could see where it might me mistaken for a scary face. In the light it's just a cow, and I can no longer make out a face other than the cow's. The face had come halfway out of the painting- its nose was about 3 inches from the canvas. It looked a bit like this, only scowling more.




Even worse, it was alive. I was lying in bed and it started insulting me, telling me it had been watching me ever since the painting had been put there (over a year). It then proceeded to list off all my worst fears and telling me they were true, and laughing at me. It had a posh but gravelly English accent and a wheezy laugh/cackle.

It was truly hideous. I decided enough was enough, I'm going to burn it. I knew there was a fire in the fireplace downstairs at the minute and I planned to stuff the painting in it. To shut him up I wrapped a brown towel round the whole painting and held his face to my chest. I was kind of worried about him biting me.

Then I had another false awakening! This time the painting was actually of the pokemon Venonat.

Living in a Church (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This dream had a pretty logical and coherent plot, but no real direction or point. A good read though.

I was in some sort of underground facility. At least I thought it was a bunker or something but it turned out to be a department store with many, many floors and departments. I saw two girls from across the store, and I somehow knew I had to escape from them. I ran out to the stairs, from where I intended to go down as far as possible and hide. I had a kind of "dream memory", where I "remembered" a technique to getting down the stairs quickly.





I held on to the bannister at the top of each section of stairs and threw myself over the steps down to the next level. That way, I didn't have to waste time taking steps individually. Every single level had signs saying what could be found there, but I can't remember what a single one said. I can almost visualise the sign I was looking for (which was on the lowest floor), but couldn't tell you what it said.

I went through the door at the bottom floor and found myself in a big underground room. The ceiling was as high up as the top floor which I had just come from, and there were glass balconies and benches dotted around. The room was full of people who looked like they were preparing to go into hibernation. I got the impression it might have been coming up to Christmas, as people were selling decorations, and everybody was wrapped up in thick coats. They looked like a tribe of people who maybe live in the underground every winter. They all seemed to know each other. I passed through the room and glanced up to my left to see the two mysterious girls glaring down at me from one of the balconies. I picked up the pace and jogged through a stone archway which looked like the exit to the surface. On the way I found some strange coins in my pocket which I didn't recognise, but they seemed to be valuable because some kids ran up and asked me for one.

I can't quite remember what happened next, but something definitely did lead on from the last section to the next. I had got myself a house. It was inside a very old limestone church, which was apparently attached to my school. The walls and ground outside were the kind of white/light yellow limestone rocks you find in the South of France.




^^ Imagine that scene, but with rocky ground outside and crumblier walls. There were small spaces between the bricks in the corners, and the only entrance which worked was around the back and quite inconvenient to get to. Inside, there was quite a lot of space. My bed was in the middle of a large room, and was almost vertical for some reason. I would have had to strap myself into it to avoid slipping out the bottom. The ground inside was bare and rocky, much like the outside, and there were a few weeds. The interior layout was "open plan"- most of the walls had fallen down. The living room had a stone bench carved out of the wall with a blue matress on top as a cushion. This also doubled as a bed. The kitchen had a similar bench/bed.

Three of my friends who I hadn't seen in ages came to visit. One of them I don't really like, and I was kind of annoyed that he turned up unannounced. We ended up having a really random conversation where he told me how terrified he was of big dogs, specifically Alsatians (German Shepherd). He kept repeating "Alsatians" over and over and shuddering.

We decided to go somewhere, might have been into town, but I missed the taxi the rest of them got in, so I started to walk. It was raining heavily and I became very unstable. It was like I was drunk, stumbling around and having difficulty staying upright.

I eventually got back to my new house, where it was hot and sunny. I was with my brother for some reason. I spotted a quick way round the back of the church, through a trench with builders working on it. There was a black, barbed wire fence running along the sides of the trench, and large amounts of it on the ground. It was here that I realised I was not wearing any socks or shoes, or a t-shirt. Suddenly my brother went berzerk, and attacked me with a length of barbed wire. I fought him off, and ended up with lots of quite deep gashes in my back and chest. Strangely, there was no blood, just deep wounds. I probably should have got this dream sign... The police and ambulance arrived, and a nurse examined my wounds. I was still holding a piece of barbed wire for self defense. My brother then stepped quickly over to me and cut a gash in his own neck using my piece of wire, to try and incriminate me. I said to the police guy, "What the hell?! Tell me you saw that!" He grunted and wrote something down in his notebook.

Accidental "Almost" WILD (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed after staying up until about 4:00am playing the new Call of Duty game. My brother and I had been swapping the controller over at each death for most of the night, but I stayed up after him because I wasn't tired. When I went to bed, I found that the sound of gunfire, the rumble of helicopter guns and the clinking of bouncing grenades were ringing in my ears. Well, I say ringing, but I had the TV on low volume, so my ears weren't actually ringing, but if I listened in my head, that's all I could hear. I concentrated on these noises, which just formed up naturally. I made them more intense and I became deeply relaxed after about only 10 minutes. If the noises were actually real, they would have been roaring right now, they were all I could hear. I had a feeling of what I can only describe as "my brain vibrating", and my mind was completely and utterly blank. Then my brother handed me the controller. "Here you go," he said. "No thanks," I replied, "You have another go, I'm quite relaxed doing... wait..." I surprised myself when I remembered I was still in bed and was shocked awake. Maybe a new WILD induction technique there, "fake-hearing-induced LD" lol

Violent Storm (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Me and a few friends were staying in a caravan I used to own, except it was on top of a hotel. From the living room window, all you could see was the sea, with the beach below. It was early evening, maybe six o'clock, but the people in the carvan next to us kept telling us to keep the noise down. This went on for a while, until a huge storm brewed. The wind was so loud you could barely hear anything over it, and the rain was being blown completely horizontally. There were 20 metre high waves crashing outside. I commented to whoever was sitting beside me, "Look how strong the wind is, it's making the waves break sideways. I'm glad we're inside!" The waves were indeed breaking long-ways across the beach, and spray was getting blown away by the wind. I looked out the back window and was surprised to see a man in a hat and trenchcoat walking his dog along the street. The wind barely seemed to be affecting him.

Bin Lid Frisbee (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was across the street from my old house playing some sort of game. I had to throw the lid of an american-style garbage can into a large bucket on the front lawn of my house. The game was very long and intricate, but I can only remember this small section. I threw the bin lid in the way you would a frisbee, but when I saw that it was going to miss by miles, I pointed my finger at it (while it was in flight) and redirected it in such a way that it started to orbit the bucket. The orbit was huge and irregular. It went down to the bottom of my street and back up again, and sometimes went to the other end. I don't remember what happened next, but after some time it actually landed right inside the bucket. I told an onlooker that it had been orbiting for nearly half an hour. I was very pleased with myself.

I was sent into space for 2 weeks.

Fragment 1: I am in some sort of giant room with HUGE portraits of a Klingon couple of varying ages. I overheard some klingons talking about how they would need to travel back in time 25 times in order to get to the correct timeline, They were trying to stop an accident involving stairs with the klingon couple..

Fragment 2: I found myself in some sort of elevator with Cameron, only it didn't really take you anywhere. It just went up..

Hudson is standing outside the closing doors, trying to decide if he wants to get in. Cameron and I pry open a panel with a screwdriver and I smash a button.

This sends us flying up to the space station ceiling, we can see up and we are about to hit a huge window. When we finally hit it all it does is 'BONK' and then we gently float back down...

Fragment 3: I go inside the spaceships 'WAL-MART' first thing I know I am in the fabric section. I have the intention of finding a specific type of woman and engaging in coitus before I return to earth.

Next thing I know I am leaving and Evan is singing.. I meet up with Adam just outside of the wal mart like place and there is a sign on some sort of pinball machine that says "Free or Take" or something like that. Adam needed something from it so he smashed the glass with a regular hammer. I asked how far the car was with the intention of going to get a rubber mallet. He replied with a firm NO.

It turns out I already had the mallet in my hand so I smashed what little glass was left and then continued.

I was in our home but in my dream, my Aunt Becky owned our house.

A.J. , Hudson, Cameron and I were in the living room, we were going to eat some cheese burgers. Mom sent us outside so that we would not spill or stain anything.

So there we are at night, eating cheeseburgers on the porch. I had one of our pink plastic plates and I left some mustard and ketchup in the middle of the plate.

Next thing I know everyone is gone and some woman pulls up the driveway, both her sliding doors are open I go down to see, she gets out and comes around to get her baby out.

Inside the car, the two passenger seats are normal, one has a car seat in it. The back seats are put down. The baby is not in the car seat.

Dream #3
Dream Name: X Marks the Spot
Date:6/25/10-6/26/10
Main People: Me, Sean(Friend), Tyler(Friend), Mrs. Murray(Sean's Mom), and My Mom
Emotions: Betrayal, and Anger(a little bit)
Approx. Dreamtime:60-80 seconds
Location: Murray's House
Lucidity: Non-Lucid
Type: Non-Lucid

Description: We were driving up in the driveway of the Murray's House we got out and went onto their porch. When we get on the porch and Sean and Mrs. Murray came out. Sean said something that for some reason made me side kick him in the thigh. Anyways we go inside his house like nothing had happen. Then my other friend Tyler was there. We go into this room which I don't recognize. It has a small, low to the floor table off to the side by the wall. It had a large, at least a 60 inch, television on it. We start messing around, a we hit the TV a few times. Wherever we hit the TV on the spot there would appear a small (X) where we hit it. This seem to go on for awhile then finally the parents came out(My Mom, and Mrs. Murray). They start yelling at me and I don't concentrate on what they are saying so I don't remember what they said. Then out of nowhere I decide to I want to leave. So I go tell Sean that I am going to leave he says "I didn't want you here anyways" and then we left.

This has to be one of my favorite dreams I've had in a while(well excluding my lucid ones). But anyways, i was inside my friend and ex band mate Andrews house. I haven't been at his house in months but im there kind of often in my dreams. And every time in my dream his house is massive, it's pretty big in real life but i think its because my friend Brendan told me before I first went over his house that it was huge. In the dream i was upstairs and Andrew's mom Suzane came in and asked me why I was there i never responded and grabbed a couple of big nuggets of weed. This was like extremely good bud too. It had these orange and purple hairs on it. I actually said out loud I only see this quality bud in my dreams, but i guess it never just clicked. Then i "remembered" that Incubus was down stairs and I told Suzane. we went downstairs in excitement to see them play. I got to the family room they have and it was just Andrew, Suzane, Brendan, Incubus, and I. I was in awe because currently they are my favorite band and i as a straight male am in love with Brandon Boyd. So it was just a little show they put on and then while we were all just hanging out Brandon gives me a guitar and hes like play something. I was so happy cause i know how to play basically every Incubus song. But instead I ended up playing some sweeps for whatever reason. I woke up at that point and then went back to bed. In my second dream i was outside of my Friend Chris Connors house and every time im with him I basically smoke weed and this time was no different except i was by myself sitting outside smoking a hookah. I was walking away when the cops came by and were doing a drug bust on some other people the cop "arrested" me too but he put these small like finger cuffs on me and i just walked away and pulled them off. The dream shifted and i was watching ESPN on my TV in my mansion that I apparently owned. They had Celtics and Bruins game recaps on. Then i was with my sisters friend Lexi and one of her friends. she said something about moving in with her friend because the situation at her house wasn't good. Then I was playing Hitman and became agent 47. The dream was very realistic and i guess thats what threw me from identifying it as a dream and becoming lucid.

DREAMNONDREAMLUCIDSCENEDESCRIPTION

I get some background info in the beginning of this dream. There is this semi good looking guy that is famous on the web for a dreaming site...an admin or something, IDK. Well, I am looking at this guy. He is kind of in a restaraunt back area outside, concrete, umbrellas... He then sees the guy from the internet. They were talking about marriage, kind of being silly, but the dude from the beggining wanted a relationship with him...Like, he is bi. Something about having 5 guys and girls like him...IDK. The internet dude tries his best to turn him down nicely.

Once again, I don't have any issues with bis or gays, but for some reason they show up in my dreams .

DREAMNONDREAMLUCIDSSCENEDESCRIPTION

I am walking down the road, and I see some motorcyclists. It's odd because it's summer and all, yet they are wearing shorts, but they were also wearing winter coats, because "that's what motorcyclists wear" . They were only walking to the motorcycles on out left. We are walking up a hill, more trees in front of us, and like a school behind us to our right.

The scene changes, and it seems to be that we're going down the same hill. I have to be on this bike...but this "bike" is just two wheels with sticks on one end of each! I complained how hard it was to go on my "bike". I was probably with my parents, or a few friends or something... Then, we are at the bottom of the hill and there are these 3 babies. We have to clean their diapers . It was stinky, and I said how I wasn't looking forward to being a parent! But then I noticed that we weren't using diapers, but pads. I mentioned this, and they said that they are used for PUPPIES. Now I look at the babies that are now puppies.

I was watching a video, on a laptop I think, of this raccoon, or something. Aparently, once it was rounding the corner, almost getting hit by cars, but there wasn't that much traffic, so they missed him. Once he rounded the corner, another car almost got him from behind. So, now I am him, and this happens to me. Odd thing is I am him, but I'm not really a racoon....Well, I am on this wheel type thing, and that same thing happens to me as I round a corner. I notice one car behind me, but it isn't worried about again. I see these cone type things on the side of the road, and a few police are getting me. When I hit a cone, the police are going to get me.

But then I am back to looking at the laptop, and I am not him anymore. A couple small other things happened, but I forget .
