non-lucid

June 24-25, 2010.

I had a dream that I was inside my mother's house. I thin there was a guy and a girl in the bed in my brother's room. I went to do something, and then a few minutes later he was on our living room couch moaning, I think he was with a doctor. So I went and asked the girl what happened. This is what she said:

"I was laying at his feet. (And then she said something about a broken leg, like she rolled over it) Then he had fallen off of the balcony...and his arm had fallen off."

Then I woke up.

June 21-22, 2010.

My little brother had died for an unknown cause. He came back to life as a demon, I think. My dad, and I'm not sure if the rest of us were there, but I was there too.
I would say to my little brother, "It's okay, it's okay." while backing up and crying. (I was really scared) His face would turn a deep dark red and he'd start running toward me. My dad stopped him somehow. He then disappeared or something, because he was all around us. This guy was there to help us out I think. There was fire everywhere. He had this contraption mind control thing, it almost looked like a toy. He pressed the button and fell to the ground. His head started shrinking. I was gasping in horror. (What the toy thing did was transform you into a cat and leave your body there, almost like Avatar, except your a cat) I knew that Tom was out to get me, so I quickly pressed the button. I then felt my head shrinking, like a swirling sensation. My image went black, but I appeared as an orange shorthaired cat, and I could feel I had a tail. I think the other guy, which was a cat, told me to do something, but I can't remember what we did. I think I then woke up.

Yay! I got a stripe on my belt! Anyway, for my dreams:

1- In Which Hazel Does Not Act Her Age
My brother comes into my room with this old (fake) sword that he used to have. He begins knocking things off my shelf and just being a pest in general. When he doesn't stop like I tell him to, I throw a temper tantrum like a five year old. O.o After it is over, I wonder why I am acting like this... Oh, it must be a dream. I reverse time and handle the situation more maturely.

2- A Family Outing
I go out to a really strange restaurant with my family. I don't trust these people, something isn't right... As predicted, the owners are up to no good. They are locking people in cages out back. Well, they certainly aren't going to get ME. The only problem is, they have some kind of strange machine that makes them not feel pain. "We'll take care of it," my parents assure me as they allow themselves to be locked up in the cage. "You act as the decoy."

No problem. I take off, and the crazies are quick to give chase. Hm, if I could just run a bit faster... But no, they're still catching up to me. Time to fight. I fight like an expert, but it doesn't matter. They can't feel pain and I can. Just as I am beginning to think I will lose, the one standing in front of me suddenly crumples to the ground, crying out. "Ah, shit, they broke the machine!"

I grin in triumph as my parents and my brother arrive on the scene. "Took you long enough!"

Success, after 3 days I remember something of a dream I hadn't realized just how much I wasn't remembering dreams lately...
Only a fragment, but here goes.

I'm playing a game, but I'm in it... I'm playing against 2 other people, one of them is B. The scenery is remarkably blue, but I don't remark on this. I make my way to a ramp and spot B. I take aim with my sniper, but noticing the blue laser pointer coming from it I point the gun down and change to my sniper, I don't want B to see the laser before his time comes. I don't get this, I did have my sniper, but I changed to another one. I take aim again, he's seen me and is lining me up. He's too late, I take the shot and head shot him. This is very odd as in any game I've ever played there's no way I could do this to him. He would see me first and I would just see him as I die. Later I wake up while feeling that my girlfriend is upset for some reason.

A fun dream, oddly blue, with a curious end... I have no idea why I dreamed about her being upset, she only featured in the last half a second of my dream, and that was her being unhappy. Also about about 8000 km away from her.

I remembered another really fun dream I had one time, amazing sights.

I'm walking between the flats at my house, it's night but seems unusually bright. I look up at the sky and my breath is taken away. Thousands of slowly spinning asteroids fill the sky. Sparkling in a myriad of colors. I explain to the people around me, a small group, 2-3, and they weren't there before, that the earth must be passing through the asteroid belt.

That view was absolutely amazing, one of the most truly amazing looking things I've ever seen in a dream. Very memorable. A bit scientifically inaccurate, but who cares. Science is for wl, not my dreams.

I've been trying some methods to gain lucidity, mainly WILD's, but also for DILD if I can. However this has been I think a bad idea, as waking up in the middle of the night when you have to be up for school at 6 am and you're in the middle of semester end test week... Well I've been fairly tired. I think maybe this has been causing me to fall asleep too easily too, and hence not being able to transition into lucidity. So I've just been interrupting my sleep for no reason effectively.
So I'm gonna start on my dream recall for a while instead of trying for lucidity atm, as that evidently needs work.

Dream starts off in a warehouse where I have just woken up (false awakening). I go onto my computer to post my dream journal for the morning, only the computer does not work for some reason. There are people inside the warehouse, some of them had something to do with paintball, don't necessarily remember what. I decide to go outside and take a shower, so I proceed outside to this movable structure and shower. We all leave the warehouse down towards a 7-11 when it starts to snow in the parking lot. Big drainage hole. I grab my back that was at 7-11 and proceed backup towards the warehouse. An old lady starts yelling at me for no reason.

I don't remember much about this dream, except a tidal wave was involved. I was with my mother in our van.
At some point there was already a flood (waist-high water) and people were seeking shelter, when they suddenly noticed a big wave of muddy water coming towards them and tried to waddle away desperately. Some lady tried to climb on a bin, others tried to climb trees. I could feel the fear.

I was in some arena. We were playing some RPG game. We were standing on some slippery floor and we had like commands attack for mages, attack for warriors etc... I beaten them all. And now I was fighting someone 1 v 1. It was my cousin. He had 2142 HP I had 2045. I had left on 200 hp and he on 600. Them game was stopped because he was cheating. I decided to try one more time, this time I called my friend. We all failed at qualifications.

I was in some place that looked like map from cod4. I was holding a gun and shooting with some people. I saw that guns name was : ultra. I saw a grenade being trowed at me. I thought wait why the gun's name is ultra, i better check if this is a dream. I started doing RC and then the grenade exploded and dream ended.

I was with my friend in swamp. He said me to be quiet because this place is loaded with crocodiles. I saw like 50 of them laying on the ground. We saw a hut and decided to go there tomorrow. Now i find myself going there again but alone. Suddenly a horse started chasing me. He chased me all way to some farm and some girl shouted to come there. When I lost the horse and got to the girl she was telling me something about sky . I started throwing something in sky. Few moments later she asked me would I marry her ( lol ). I accepted. Suddenly I found myself with her in some apartment hiding from someone. I said that I am leaving I don't care if he ( who? ) sees us. And a someone entered a apartment and 'seen' us and he just left.

I was walking with my friend and his girlfriend near my school. We were talking some random stuff and then I asked him can he borrow me his USB stick. He got really angry and his arms extended, he grabbed me and started throwing me in river. As I was falling in river I put out my phone from my pocket and threw it up there so it doesn't get wet. He grabbed me one more time, threw me in air and once more hurled me into the river.

I saw a green field. And there was a basketball playground there. I got out of car which my mom was driving. On a playground there were 2 babies sitting. There was a spider web around them and spider. He was big but harmless. I saw a baby yawning and at that point a big mouse jumped into baby's mouth. I got scared and got the mouse out. After few seconds a brown scorpion approached and stung a baby. We got scared and started driving baby to the hospital. While we were driving there I saw my school and remembered that hospital is just few blocks down there. We couldn't get to the hospital because the road was blocked so we took an alternate path. We got to the rear of hospital and luckily there was an entrance. We got the baby to the doctor. He was on the last floor. While we were running up the stair the hospital seemed so familiar. I remembered that it was from game. Then I asked my self : Wait what am I doing here ?. I started doing reality check when a doctor came, interrupted me and said that baby will be fine. He asked me do I love watching movies.

Oh look. I'm bleeding.

I'm shopping, getting ready to disappear if the government catches onto our plan.

I'm at what's supposed to be our house, shared with the people I'm conspiring with. I'm outside on the front steps, cutting up blocks of styrofoam cement with a chainsaw. A woman comes out to talk to me. She looks like Michelle Rodriguez. We talk about something, she warns me about the Agents that might have followed her here. Then she explains that the box of nails next to the steps are actually explosive rounds that she uses in her gun.



The Agent shows up. I play dumb, but eventually confess that the weapon he's looking for is that box, beside the steps. He goes to look, and when he looks up, I'm holding an air nailer pointed straight at his head. He rushes me, knocks me off balance, and I fire six nails. I think one might hit him, but the other five go straight into my left forearm.

I'm sitting on the ground, still holding the cordless nailer. I stare dumbly at my forearm. The nails have been impaled along the center, an inch apart from each other. Blood, everywhere.

The agent is running off and I'm babbling about how I thought there weren't any nails in the gun. Michelle shows up and helps me inside. I'm staring at my arm, fascinated, and picking at the nails, pulling them out one at a time.

Michelle slaps my hand away and pours a mix of soapy water over my arm. I hiss, but more in reflex than actual pain. She says she'll take them out; I'll do too much damage if I do it myself.

"There's only one left," I say, holding up my arm.

She looks a little sick.

A note to our teenage adventure protagonist: we're totally messing with you.

Our surroundings are bright, a world of clear glass windows surrounded by sunlight. My footfalls are light and airy, bearing none of the gravity that this situation should require. I am calm, cool, and collected as I approach the dark-haired man at the top of the dias.

"You should know, Amon," I say, "That you can't possibly win."

Amon surveys the horizon, his back turned to me. "We don't have to do this," he says quietly. "You could give up the girl..."

"That's not going to happen."

Amon turns to face me, dark energy forming in a globe between his hands. He's still young. I barely have time to process the thought. I'm dodging. Blackness swallows up the staircase I was standing on a moment ago.

I bring my hands together, pull them apart in a quick motion. A lance of energy surges toward Amon, aiming for the heart.

I'm sitting at a four-person booth in a restaurant, nursing a cup of coffee. I hold it up and breathe in the warm scent, before setting it back down with a clink on the table. I glance up at Amon, who's sitting across from me at the table. The corner of his mouth is twitching up into a smile, though he's trying to suppress it.

Beside me is the girl I was talking about before, our protagonist, Sasha. I love playing a supporting character. She's glancing up at Amon and back at the table, trying to look for all the world like she's not about to bolt at the first sign of hostility.

I have to chuckle. "So. Do you think this counts as an anti-climax?"

Amon's about to point out the double-entendre, but Sasha cuts him off.

"What the hell, ---?" she says, twisting to face me directly. "He was trying to kill you!"

"Nah," I say, leaning back in my seat, "Amon and I aren't enemies. Are we, Amon?"

"Nope," he says, barely keeping a straight face.

"Tell him about your problem." I say, my expression far too earnest.

"I can't remember my parents' eye colours, okay? They keep changing!" Sasha springs up from her seat and stomps away to the restroom.

"Who pays attention to their parents' eye colours?" asks Amon.

"Weird people. Or very observant ones?" I wonder. "Anyway, I took a look at her memories, and they have been tampered with."

"And you just got rid of her. Am I thinking what you're thinking?"

I nod, gleefully. "We should investigate."

We slip away from the diner and back into the mall we just destroyed. I press a few random buttons on a keypad and the door opens with a hiss. I walk right in, Amon following close behind. We're in the clothing department, where a couple missing parents should be frozen as mannequins.

"If we have all of the permutations right," I muse, wandering over to a control panel disguised as a jewellery counter, "We should just be able to enter them here."

Amon presses a few places on a blank wall. As he touches them, the spots light up in squares. He finishes the combination and steps back. I hear a low hum permeate the air around us.

"I have a bad feeling about this." I mutter.

Amon shoots me a glare. "I don't like your bad feelings," says Amon. "They make bad things happen."

The mannequins in the display near us, half a dozen at least, start to twitch.

Dream #1
Date:6/22/10-6/23/10
Main People:Me, My Sister, My Mom, and Alex(DC)
Emotions:Sorrow,Panic and Anxiety
Location:Home, Kitchen
Approx. Dreamtime: 45-60 seconds
Lucidity:Non-Lucid
Type: Non-Lucid

Description:Well today I had a dream, It started off normal I was at home in my bathroom hallway and I was talking to my sister. The conversation went something like this:
Me:What are you doing?
Sister:I'm getting ready.
Me:For what?
Sister:First baby-sitting job.
Me:With who?
Sister:Alex.
She said this and pointed to a picture of a small boy the picture was very foggy and hazy and could not recognize who he was or what he looked like. Then no sooner there was a knocking on the door and a small boy came in presumably Alex. I still could not really decipher his face or what he looked like. Anyways as soon as he walked in he demanded for something called "nanna munch" but somehow I knew it was something like oatmeal. So we (Me, My Sister, and My Mom) walked him over to the kitchen counter and my sister tried to pick him up and place him on the chair but he did not like this so he started to wiggle and whine until finally my sister got him on the chair. Then suddenly a blue bowl appear on the counter and my mom started to pour steaming water into the bowl. Once the bowl was full something strange happen Alex decides to jump into the bowl and suddenly he shrunk and then my mom hurriedly fished through the bowl to find him after a second or two my mom's hand finally comes out of the bowl with a palm sized doll-like Alex. There was silence for a second or two then I slowly asked if he dead but somehow already knew the anwser. He was dead. I remember feeling like that I could have done something to save him during the dream. Of course when I woke up I thought it was quite silly. The last thing I remember was that we were all in panic for who to call. It was an overall strange dream.

Brainstorming at Work:
I was at work serving customers like usual. For some strange reason, I was brainstorming words that started with a particular letter such as the letter s and the words were sun, street, scuba diver, etc.... There was a match coming up but I don't recall what it was about.

Tornadoes:
I think I had a dream about tornadoes. I think I was looking through a car window out to see one of these large tornadoes split into three smaller ones, but, nothing else.

Thoughts: Well, back to the work dreams again. It's sooo frustrating to have similar dreams. It seems that work is now a dreamsign, makes me wonder if it'll vanish soon enough though. I have been RCing a bit at work but not in large numbers, so, not 100% positive if I would be able to go lucid then. As for the tornado one, there was a tornado in the news yesterday and I remembered having a dream about them during the day, but, couldn't recall much details. Seems my dream recall has gone south the last couple of days since I've been slacking off and not paying as much attention. Plan to re-focus and increase their clarity, vividness and recall
