Kodo Riding (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

If you've ever played World of Warcraft, you'll know what a "Kodo" is. If not, it's a big dinosaur/rhino creature. Tell ya what:



I was in a large cabin in the mountains. There was really thick snow outside, maybe a few feet deep. I knew I had to go on a trip to some other cabin quite far away, and there was no way I could make it on foot, especially since it had just started snowing heavily again.

Someone I was staying with (could have been male, female, young or old, I can't remember the details in this dream!) suggested I take their kodo mount. I turned round and it was right in my face. I was initially terrified- it was the size of an elephant except longer, and covered in thick white fur. Evidentally this was a snowy mountain-adapted kodo. I got some practice riding it up and down the long living room. It was quite difficult to stay on top of, because I was wearing a thick coat and trousers. I had to sit on the hump at the top of the creature's back, and I kept falling forward. I decided it wouldn't be too bad if I fell off since the snow would cushion the fall. The kodo was very obedient, even waiting for me every time I fell off.

Missing time...

Later on, I was having a shower in the cabin's bathroom. The shower head was attached to the wall above a bath. I was standing in the bath with a shower curtain round the edges. I was washing my hair when the lights went out, and it started to feel like the cabin was moving. I thought nothing of it, and rinsed my hair. I then scrambled around in the darkness looking for shower gel on the floor beside the bath. There were numerous tubes and containers, and I picked something which looked like it could have been a shower gel container. I washed myself with it, rinsed, then stepped out. The lights came back on. I looked at myself in the mirror to discover I was covered in yellow paint. I spent a few minutes rubbing it off my face.

Lightning Show (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Lately I've been too lazy to throw myself into a proper WILD, so I've just been waking up then goin back to sleep a few minutes later, hoping to DILD. Works occasionally!



I was driving round Florida with two of my friends. I kept seeing things completely out of the ordinary, like a giant arch of light in the evening sky, over the ocean- and buildings which sprung out of nowhere. I kept trying to tell my friends about the stuff I was seeing, but they wouldn't believe me. I eventually convinced them to go to a restaurant beside the sea for dinner the next evening to see if the arch appeared in the sky again. We had our meal, then lay down on the beach as night approached. Sure enough, the arch appeared. Soon after, the sky went completely black and a thunderstorm began. It was a bit scary, and I became lucid. Looking up at the sky was incredible. It was like a light show. The lightning would make the gaps in the clouds stand out white. There were several of these gaps shaped like pterodactyls and monsters. It started to rain lightly, and I could really feel the coldness of the droplets on my chest (I was just wearing swimming shorts). I reached up at the sky and tried to create my own lightning, but it didn't work. As I reached up, I started to feel my own body lying in bed. I thought,
"Crap, crap, don't wake up now, I've only had two minutes of fun!" I tried running my hands through the sand and grabbing people lying beside me, but nothing worked and I was dragged back to consciousness.

Dog Attack (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was on top of a grassy hill in a public park with a fitness trainer. Apparently I was too fat, and needed to lose weight, so we had brought my dog with us for a run. I should have realised this was a dream, if anything I need to fatten up! We were taking a rest of top of this hill, and I commented on how peaceful it was with no-one around.
"Usually this park is swarming with dogs," I said. Not ten seconds later, four sheep dogs, a rottweiler and numerous other breeds I didn't recognise came out of the trees at the bottom of the hill. I got up to put my dog on the lead, in case he got into a fight with another dog. I couldn't catch him, and as usual, he ran straight over to the other dogs to say hello. He's big, friendly and stupid, my dog, but unfortunately not all other dogs are the same. Two of them attacked him, and I ran over to try and pull them off. I was annoyed at myself for taking off my socks and shoes, because one dog kept biting my feet. I had to punch one dog in the head to get it off. Another one tried to bite my dog's ear off. I woke up with my heart pounding!

Lego Castle (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This played out like an advertisement for a lego castle. A whole scenario was created, and lego men ran around unaided but narrated, trying to defend the castle from attack. The narrator was the voice of the main character's father, who sounded like Obi Wan Kenobi giving Luke Skywalker advice from beyond the grave. He intructed him how to swing round the inside of the castle, killing intruders as he went.

Right What Homework do I have? (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a classic "stressed-out" dream. Like where you realise you've got minutes before an exam and you haven't studied. Same idea. I used to get ones like this all the time.

I was leaving school on a friday afternoon, and I didn't have much time to organise what books I needed to bring home until I had to get the bus. I looked in my "homework diary", and saw that I had an enormous 3-part Geography essay, a French practice paper, and something else for ICT. I ran around the school like a headless chicken for ages trying to find what I needed.

Ant Colony Attacked by a Football (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Attachment 1352

I was an ant. Part of a colony located in a park, I was tasked with defense. The weather was warm and sunny, and I was standing on top of the anthill looking out over a vast ocean. I was maybe semi lucid, because I laughed to myself thinking that it was probably just a puddle. Out of nowhere, a gigantic sphere flew over the top of the anthill at an unbelievable speed, just clipping the top and sending me flying. It was a standard football. It landed in the ocean and sent a huge tidal wave at the beach.

I got a posse together, since defence of the colony was my thing, and decided to remove the ball from our ocean lest it blow onto the land and crush us.

The next thing I remember was being part of an elaborate formation of ants swimming round the ball. We all lay on our backs, linked up, and kicked in synchronisation. The ball gradually moved across the ocean, farther and farther away from the beach. I wasn't really doing much of the work.

Generations (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Noted this badboy down when I woke up in the middle of the night. I probably would've forgotten it otherwise.

I was walking around a mansion, which my family apparently owned. We had a kind of underground basement/crypt which was very ornate- full of white marble. However it had fallen into disrepair, and somebody had broken in and ransacked the place. The corpse of my grandmother (not my real granny) was left out in the middle of the floor, and the small above-ground windows near the roof of the crypt were broken. There was a load of rubbish covering the body, including a set of roller-blades, which I wanted to try out but was afraid to go near.



I was working in an office building nearby, I think for the government or something. I had recieved intelligence that "The Master" (from Doctor Who) was in the building, plotting something evil. I knew he must be in disguise as one of my co-workers. I had a suspicion that his plan involved ressurecting someone from the crypt to be his slave, or trying to start a war. Either way, I knew (somehow) that he had a time limit. He would have to do it by the end of the working day, or not do it at all. It was nearly time to go home, and people were talking about leaving. I tried my best to stall people from leaving by talking to them and spraying sluper glue around all the exits from some sort of spray can. (very useful!) I then got talking to a girl in the kitchen. She showed me how to make a pair of rings to be worn on the two little fingers. I should have become lucid here because my hands looked retarded as hell, but I thought nothing of it. She made herself a pair as well. Once she put them on, she turned into The Master, and started laughing maniacally. Then she ran off.



I went into the "Intel Room", which was dark and full of fancy computers. A guy working at a terminal informed me that there was an indication that nuclear war between the USA and China was close. Apparently a Chinese nuclear submarine was parked right outside our building and was shining lights inside in a suspicious manner. This was enough for the USA to retailate by doing the exact same thing. (Apparently this office I was in was US government) There were doomsday alarms going off. They sounded like a standard alarm, but a woman running past screamed, "It's the doomsday alarm, we're doomed!"

The guy at the computer terminal had an idea. He would contact the people on the submarine outside to see what their intentions were. I looked down on the submarine outside while he tried to get through. He was asking for a specific man, who he thought might be on board. I asked him how he knew this guy would be there, but he didn't answer. A while later the man he was looking for came on, and they had a short exchange in Chinese. It turned out that the submarine was merely a tourist attraction, and nothing to worry about.

I went home, pleased that nothing had gone wrong. When I arrived back at the mansion, something was clearly amiss. There was silence in the house, apart from one woman walking slowly around the downstairs. I "recognised" her as my Aunt, whose name began with M, but I can't remember it now. The Master had brought her back from the dead and was now trying to take control of her. Luckily, she was too strong for him, and he wasn't able to make her his slave.

After this, I never heard of The Master again, and me and my family got to work repairing the crypt. The corpse of my grandmother was taken out, then lowered through the roof into the right place. The windows magically repaired themselves in front of my eyes.

Anthology (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was handing in an anthology of poetry and writing in my English class. It was bound with a purple carboard sleeve, which had the title on it: "Shut up 'n Read". The teacher thought it was really good, so she brought in the headmistress to have a look at it. I didn't want her to see it, as i had included a few stories in it where I ripped the piss out of her ruthlessly. She was flicking through the first few pages nodding approvingly, then the bell rang. I looked at my timetable closely I was so close to getting lucid here! and saw that I was in ICT now, as it was 12:00pm. I tried to get the anthology off the headmistress, but she told me to go on to the next class and she would make sure to give me it back later. There was nothing I could do, so I went on.



I saw her later, and she tried to attack me with a huge, bejewelled, brass claw-hand she had on her right hand. I managed to fend her off and escape.

Mutilation (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Tons of dreams last night, absolutely tons. Can't remember them though! Bollocks. Got one fragment which is truly fucked up!

I was tied down with two other people on the floor of a hotel room. We were being held prisoner by some kind of psycho killer who was into mutilating his victims before finishing them off. I was in the middle of the two other people, one was a girl and the other was a guy. I won't go into details, cuz it's a bit sick, but none of us had a lot of skin left after 15 minutes! No pain or blood though!

We eventually escaped and ran downstairs and outside. I realised I was missing one of my front teeth. The lack of that tooth was making the one beside it loose too, for some reason. I was pretty raging about losing that tooth. Apparently I had suffered no lasting damage from the skinning. Weeeeeiiirrrd shit.

Opression in China and Brazil (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID



This was a long and very weird dream where I tried to free the oppressed peoples of China and Brazil. In my dream they were connected by land! Apparently Geography goes down the drain just like typing skills. I can't remember very many details, but it went something like this:

I was wandering around a Chinese city with a friend. We had to cross a large road with a roundabout in the middle. The middle of the roundabout was a rice paddy with wooden spikes all over it to keep out intruders. I discovered this the hard way when I tried to walk straight over it. We approached a kind of diner, and the owner came rushing out to greet us. He looked terrified, and was very anxious to get us inside to buy something. I was kind of wary because of the way he was acting. Then I noticed metal spikes starting to protrude from under his skin! He quickly explained to us that the government had made it so if the citizens didn't get money off tourists quickly they would be impaled from within! I handed him some cash in exchange for a bun and the spikes disappeared back inside.

Basically, I decided I wasn't having this and went to Brazil, where I was told the solution would be. Brazil was just a massive jungle, with paths through the trees. I had to find some sort of guru man who sold multicoloured inscense sticks, which would somehow help. Weird stuff.

Nuclear Bomb Plot (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Me and my friend Mark were sitting in his house talking. Out of the blue, he came up with the plan that we should blow up the city with a nuclear bomb. This didn't seem at all strange to me, so I went along with it. I had it in my mind that we would probably get in trouble for blowing up the city, but I was too deep in a "go with the flow" kind of attitude.

We went round to B&Q, where we bought a nuclear bomb. It cost us £20 altogether. I gave mark my tenner and he went up to the till to pay for it. When he came back he had the bomb. It was a big gold ball about the size of a TV. There were ornamental markings on the outside, and an LED timer on the top. Mark explained that he chose this one because it had a blast radius of 7 miles, but it could also be programmed to only explode in one direction, giving us a safe getaway route. We carried it on to a bus bound for the city centre. It was pretty heavy, so I held one end and Mark held the other. Nobody seemed in the least bit conerned that we were hefting around a WMD! We waited on the bus until the very last stop, which was the bus depot. We got off, thanked the driver, and headed round the back of another parked bus. We planted the bomb near the back left wheel. Mark set the timer for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and we legged it.



A little while later I was sitting at home watching the news. A report about our bomb came on.
"Police have discovered an unexploded nuclear bomb in the central bus depot. Who is responsible for this remains a mystery, but authorities are speculating that it may be the work of anarchist teenagers."

Technology in Danger! (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was lying on my front on the beach, playing around on my laptop, for some reason. It was a sunny day and the beach was full of people. My brother was lying beside me. I worried about getting sand in my laptop, but I remembered that it was irrelevant as I was dreaming. However, I still felt a strong attachment to my laptop, like I should try to protect it!

Right at that moment, a wave swept up the beach and submerged my laptop. I was half amused and half panicking for my dream laptop. (Not the "laptop of my dreams" lol) When the wave subsided my laptop was half buried.



I had a false awakening here. I was lying in bed feeling really drowsy, absolutely sure I was actually awake. I checked my hand to be sure, and it had six fingers. I was like, "Whaaat?" and checked again, because I was so surprised. I accepted the truth that I was dreaming and tried to get out of bed. For some reason the drowsiness stayed with me, and when I tried to get up, everything felt really heavy. My head rolled about on my neck, and I coundn't stand straight; it was like I had no spine!

I had three or four epically long dreams last night, which I don't know if I can be bothered typing up. It would literally take about two hours!
(All non-lucids)
In case I decide to later, here's some reminders for myself...

Dream 1: Invited to special screening of a movie. The host planned to kill everybody once inside, so I skipped it. Persued by host, lost him. Big entertainment centre on a hill above a town. I explore with some friends. Host tries to gas us with dog fart.

Dream 2: I'm part of an excavation team in Egypt. Dug up a big monument. At sunset, the light shines over the hill in such a way it makes thousands of stones sparkle. V. spectacular. Hop on a boat shaped like a hot dog to other monument. Rest of the team gets on other boats. Everybody gets lost.

Dream 3: Evil Santa invades supermarket, captures somebody and flies away. Me and a few others fly out through the roof after him, all the way to NYC. I have to hold on to two other people flying because I'm scared of heights. We "borrow" a disused mansion on the outskirts which belonged to some distinguised family. We somehow become like the Addams Family. Sort of ghostly/paranormal traits. Government tries to hunt us down, so we take control of the bodies of a random couple and walk into town. Nearly get run over by a tank.

Dream 4: (Fragment) My old neighborhood became a huge hill. I flew in standing position down to the bottom, where a weird cat woman was waiting.

Back To The Future (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was walking round my old school. There was a train which followed a path along every major corridor. I rode around on the front of it. One time, it didn't stop where I needed off, so I put my feet on the track and pushed it in the other direction until it stopped moving. I then pushed it backwards for ages till I got where I needed to go. I went into an office with my favourite teacher from last year- the English Literature teacher. We had a long talk about university and why I didn't go this year. It felt kind of like a confession! lol

After that, I saw a friend of my brother's sitting on a chair outside the office. I hadn't seen him in years, so I gave him 5. I hopped back on the train, which suddenly became the train scene from Back To The Future Part III, where they are trying to go from the Wild West to the 1980's using a steam train. Unfortunately, the train simply fell off the end of the track and dangled there, supported by a few carriges that were still attached to the track above. Although, it had in fact created a portal to the future where the track ended. It just hadn't gone through. I was stuck down in the engine part. I pulled out some kind of modified umbrella, aimed it at the portal, and fired. The umbrella opened out with a weird gears mechanism, and floated me quickly up towards the portal. I missed completely and went through the floor of one of the above carriges.

Water Park (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in an awesome water park with some blonde girl. We were taking lots of photos. The main feature of the water park was a gigantic pirate ship suspended thousands of feet above the main park. It was held up by two huge elastic bridges, one at each end. Guests could walk from one cliff to another across the ship. Even though it was so huge, people walking across it made the whole ship bounce up and down. If you looked over the edge you could see tiny people swimming far below.

The ship was bouncing so much at one stage, the girl I was with fell off. I never saw her again! I made my way along the ship, until I found another girl, who was even hotter. I told her I lived underwater and invited her back with me. We had to get a submarine back to where I lived, which kept getting attacked by a giant squid/kraken creature. (Think the underwater sequence in The Phantom Menace) I took lots of photos of the monster, but only one decent one, showing all its tentacles.

The dream then skipped ahead to me, at home, telling my dad about the park. He suggested we go back there. However the place we went was a cheap substitute for the real thing. It didn't have a tropical climate, as had the other one, but it was raining slightly. This time I had only a disposable camera with me and took a multitude of crap shots. We crossed the "pirate ship" which was really just a bundle of logs joined together floating on water, over to a tree house. For some reason, this tree house was sponsored by the BNP. :S There was a guy in it with his kids wearing a BNP badge. He kept trying to put his youngest child down the slide but missing, sending him falling to the ground. The kid laughed his head off however, completely unharmed.
