NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed at 3:00 AM

I was standing on a train platform waiting for a train. My mother was with me. After a while two trains arrived on each side of the platform simultaneously. I asked my mother which train we had to take, it was the one on the right. It wasn't a regular train. There was a one meter gap between the train and the platform. You had to get over this gap by holding onto a rail above you. The train itself was smaller than usual. There were no seats inside, instead you had to lie down. It seemed as if the train wasn't riding on rails beneath it, but it was suspended on a single rail above the train.

I'm not sure how I got from the previous part to the next, but I think it's the same dream.

I'm in a canoe on a small lake. My mother is in the same canoe. I don't have a paddle, I left it in the train I think. I use my hands instead. There were areas through which we went in which the water had a faster current, and there were some small waterfalls. These were made by sluices.

I went to bed around 3:00 AM

I was a Russian soldier fighting the Germans in the second world war. The battle occurred at my neighbors garage. I had the scoped Russian mosin nagant rifle. I took cover behind a corner and told my comrades to take cover and aim towards the exit of the garage. The exit is a large stretch of road on both sides walled of, so we had a good shot. There were no Germans coming though, instead a large truck stopped near us from which we had no cover. I decided to take the truck head on, and so I took out my submachine gun. I had some trouble with that at first. There was no-one in the truck itself, so that left the cart behind it. I dropped a sort of grenade in it. (Really it was a round magazine drum that shot bullets in all directions when it went off.)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed at 3:00 AM, I woke up at 10:45.

I was walking with B. I think on a sidewalk somewhere. We were walking towards a parking lot. He was talking about his two other brothers. One had a successful life, the other was too materialistic according to him. The term he used was "supercharged". We got into his a car, a big silver BMW. I had a backpack with me, so I took that off when I got into the car. After we had driven around for a while, we were going somewhere, maybe a concert, I opened and closed my window because the sun was annoying. It didn't help. At some point I think about reality checking and that I haven't done that the entire time, even though I was doing something I don't normally do. I was stupid enough to still not do a reality check, because I was fairly certain I was awake.

At some point we take an exit and make a sharp turn. Somehow I get out of the car because of this and we get separated. We can't get back together easily either, because, according to the new, the road was closed. Somehow we now both have a car, which is a problem, because I don't have my driver's license. After a while I wonder why he hasn't called me yet. I decide to call him instead, but I don't succeed, instead I see the music player on the screen of my phone.

I walk towards an isolated parking lot. There are two or three cars there. One of time is ours. Two men approach, one of them is wearing a green shirt. They are going to steel a car. At first I though they were going to steal our car, but instead they turn toward a black car parked beside it. As they approach the car, they drop a green floppy disk. I asked them about that, but they don't answer my question. The guy in green has a knife and a gun. I ask one more time about the disk, but the guy threatens my with the gun and knife, so I walk away.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed at 1:45 AM, the following are three dreams which are more interesting together than apart.

I was in D. riding my bike. After a while I went through a tunnel. I continued on foot. At some point I encounter a large group of flightless birds. I think it were turkeys.

In the course of the night I assume I have a dream in which I write down notes on the tunnel dream.

In another dream I'm a bit frustrated that I didn't write down any notes on my dream. Then I recall that I did in fact write down some notes. I wrote down my notes on DV, where I read them. (Normally I write down notes on paper.)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed at 2:00, again I slept in my brothers room.

Exams

I was standing outside the physics classroom of our school. W., a teacher, was standing inside. I entered. V., another teacher was sitting inside as well. She was sitting on the right side of the room behind a desk with exams on them. I took place on the left side of the room. There were other students in the room as well. We were given marks of test exams. J., a student, was given a minus 2,3 for mathematics bij T. (normally the scale goes from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest.) J. laughed about it. T., the math teacher, was stating how bad your math skill is, by giving an example of an assignment about a sign on a train platform.

Looking for a piece of paper

I was dreaming I was in my brothers room. I was looking for a piece of paper to write down my dreams on. (I took two pieces of paper with to write down some notes on my dreams in real life.) I couldn't find any empty ones, only pieces of paper that were already written on by my brother.

School party

I was standing at the school party I had two weeks ago in real life. I was thinking about getting a beer, but it was past midnight, so apparently that stopped serving alcohol passed that time. I considered getting a glass of water instead.
Later I was doing the dishes with some other people.

Dinner

I was standing on a square close to where I live. I wanted to leave, but I didn't know if I had to pay for the dinner I just had, or if the school payed for it. Some other people had already left, others were still with me. At some point I was asked by P. what I was doing. I told him why I was standing there. P. was a good friend of mine once, but we haven't talked or seen eachother in 5 years. I found it weird to just answer his question without greeting properly.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to sleep at 2:00 AM. I slept in my brothers room instead of my own. My recall wasn't very good.

I was in a large not very well lit room. There were rows of seats, the rows increased in height. There was an iron cage over the entire thing. Angelina Merkel was speaking in front of the people seated. Balkenende, the Dutch prime minister, was seated on the top row to my left. I was sitting on some sort of box in the middle with some of my friends. To my back was a hallway. S., one of my friends, was sitting next to me and against me.
I left through the hallway. I was in a hotel looking for my room. The walls of the hotel were white, the floor was red. I had to go to the right floor, so I climbed some stairs. I entered my room which I shared with J. and some other people. I noticed that there was wine spilled on my bed. I think J. did it, I wanted to trade sheets with him, but he didn't comply.

A different dream:

I dreamed about my exams. Apparently there was one more subject, but I didn't know about it before so I didn't study it, which got me a bit worried. The subject was signal processing, normally it's a part of physics.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed at 3:00 AM, I haven't been able to recall an entire dream, just bits and pieces:

I've been playing a lot of Fallout 2 and 3 lately, I dreamt about that. It had something to do with water.

I was sitting in the living room, my cousin and her exboyfriend were over. It wasn't her exboyfriend yet or anymore. They were here for about an hour. At the end my other cousin and her boyfriend came over as well.

I dreamt about some guy in a mountainbike race. There was a newsreader reporting about him. Later the news continued about the US being at war with the taliban I think in Sudan. I thought about what would happen if the US were defeated by the taliban.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to sleep at 0:35 and was woken up by my alarm at 7:00 to recall this dream:

I was controlling a small ship at sea at night. Beside my was another ship of the same kind. We both had some kind of energy canons. We had to protect a small ship that didn't have any weapons of its own. To the left and to the right of this ship was a battlecruiser. I sailed to the back of the fleet to protect the rear. We also had a submarine in the water, but the properly trained captain wasn't on duty. At the back of the fleet to the left was an enemy submarine. Only our submarine engaged it. It fired a torpedo, but it missed. After this the captain of our submarine had a conversation with a news presenter. He said something like: try to hit the submarine and don't get hit yourself. Somewhere at this point my perspective changes from my ship to the submarine. I was a lot more nervous on my ship, than now on the submarine. The enemy submarine is now only several meters below our sub. We fire another torpedo, but it misses again.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to sleep at 1:30 AM, slept at 2:00 AM and woke up to recall to following dream at 5:45 AM.

I was riding my bicycle in the southern part of a town near where I live. At the other side of the road I saw L., she was riding a carrier tricycle. She didn't look to smart for some reason. I was thinking about her daily routine. As I went on, I saw a car on top of a billboard. I think was a Toyota Yaris verso, a car my parents have. Despite it being 3 meters above the ground, it still was engaged in traffic. I think there was someone sitting behind the steering will and the indicator was on.

At some point I wasn't riding my bicycle anymore, but instead I had roller skates on. I wasn't in the town anymore, but in the countryside with a couple of farms scattered around. I think I was there because I was looking for a job. I went too far on a road; the paving stopped and a small dirt road continued. To my right was a farm with a sign saying: caravan for sale. I turned around. Somehow I could hear the name of farms owner. As I repeated the sentence my left arm felt heavy. It was because of the sentence I told myself.

I walked into a barn with one side open. Someone else was with me. As I walked in, a family consisting of two parents, a girl and a boy rode in on bicycles. This is about where the setting changes from modern day to something like a 1920 American setting. Apparently the family was criminal in a way, because I thought of calling the police. I think I didn't because of it being 1920. The parents were speaking German.

Me, the first person to join me and the boy and the girl went into the farm house, while the parents stayed in the barn. At the entrance of the house was a wall to the left, a large desk in front of us and a door to the living room to the right. We went to the living room. Me and the other person had to convince the children of something. The other person did the talking. All this time the father looked at us through a little window, but he couldn't hear us.

This is where I wake up, anticlimax, I know.

Non-lucid Lucid Comments

A dream earlier in the night parts into the dream but I can’t remember much.

I was standing with someone just outside of a shopping centre with a man that looked like Whitey from Adam Sandler’s movie eight crazy nights. I pulled out my wallet and there was about 6-8 $50 notes in there “What, I thought I lost them” I mumbled.

I looked around the car park and there was a big caravan in front of us, there was one guy who was eyeing it off but I just thought he was the owner keeping watch over it but was I wrong. Me and whitey just stood around for awhile chatting but soon after a man who looks like a student from my school approached us and asked us if we owned the caravan. Whitey started getting worried and he just said we were the owners; the man pulls out a knife and holds it up to my throat and tells us to go stand at the back of the caravan with our hands on the mesh where he could see them. He walks over and starts messing with the door while I put my hand at Whiteys height and he walked of to a random passer by to try and get help, the boy turned around and to my surprise was one of my friends. He approached the guy “I have had enough of your shit, boy!” he yelled

“Well come on then” the guy replied

I woke up just as my friend dropped his bag.

SpSi (Non-lucid)

Spamano (from Axis Powers Hetalia) stuff that I unfortunately can't remember

Fighters (Non-lucid)

Like an anime or game...there was a team of fighters. Two were siblings (not sure about genders). One was 'light' and the other 'dark', each dressed in outfits kinda like Celty's from Durarara!! [full pic]. White and black in color of course. There were about six of them in this room...and I get the feeling there was other people, but.

At one point the two leaned on the front of a vehicle. Someone else (me?) was observing them off to the side, thinking that it was sad that it was hard for them to be together - 'dark' couldn't stay out in the light for too long because his powers/being came from the dark. But 'he' still went out to hang with 'light'. I'm pretty sure the vehicle was out in the dessert, too. o_o

Horror 2 (Non-lucid)

Horror. A woman was hanging from something I believe. Her hair was all clumpy and bloody. She cut her hair off until only a little was left on her head. She pretended to be dead as a guy came in/back. He caught her.

Note: Second horror dream... I think it's reflecting my stressful thoughts in real life. :/

Before I completely forget this one from Monday night, I may as well use it to inaugurate the new journal.

At some unusual state park sort of place, there's a stable I have to stay in for the night where this creepy guy keeps a weird creature that is a bit of a cross between a pig and a giraffe. I can't resist petting the critter, and it acts nicely for part of the night, but it soon starts nibbling at my hand and further up my arm until I realize the guy was using my fondness of petting animals in order to kill me. Luckily, I get away with just a few scars on my arm (which remain throughout the dream) instead. I end up killing the guy, tearing him into three pieces with my bare hands, and scattering the parts.

At the same time, I can sort of see from the perspective of the police beginning to search (sort of like changing scenes on a television show). I know they'll soon discover the body (or the parts thereof), and I don't want to leave tracks in the thick snow piled around the park, so I begin my escape by jumping into a river and following it downstream a ways until I reach a bridge. Then I start running through the snow on all fours, always barely one step ahead of the police.

During my escape, I hide in snowpiles, assume various guises such as attempting to appear left-handed when I ride horses, take a bus out of the state, and for some reason solve an anime jigsaw puzzle in a locker room. The last place I remember hiding is behind a sign on a grassy, sunny hill near a mental health facility. I curl up with a stuffed animal and bite my thumbnail, acting as though I were a small, terrified child. Staff from the facility find me, and I get taken inside to be treated as a patient.

That's about all I remember before I had to be woken up to run errands. This dream seems to contain another instance of being unable to shake pursuers no matter how elaborate my escape is, as well as another instance of running on all fours.

NOTES
I am in a strange assault vehicle with MoSh, Raven, Tigress, and Silverwolf. We are battling another team in an assault vehicle in a large Colloseum.

I've pretty much no excuse for not doing anything beyond the basics in dreaming for the last few months. I still write down my dreams when I wake up, and I rarely have days where I remember nothing. Every night I still use autosuggestion as well.

But, I don't: write out the dream fully - I use keywords or fragments, I don't type them up in my computer/online DJ, I don't strive to remember more than I do, I don't go to bed earlier (my schedule is atrocious), I haven't even thought about lucid dreams lately. My last one was...July 6th 2009... Wow.

I'm the obsessive type person - when I get into something, it's all that holds my attention the vast majority of the time. It doesn't help when my friend gets into the same thing and so we're both obsessive together! Lately I've managed to pry myself away and get into a few other things again.

I got Meditation for Dummies from the library to see if I could pick up anything new, and...I have to say, besides picking apart my life (ow), it reminds me a lot of lucid dreaming in the area of awareness. It talks a lot about that at times.

Quote:

"You can increase your powers of awareness by developing concentration.

Then, when you've stabilized your concentration, you can, through the practice of receptive awareness, expand your awareness - like ambient light - to illuminate the full range of your experience.

Next, you can concentrate even further in order to [/B]cultivate[/B] positive emotions and mind-states. Or you can use awareness to investigate your inner experience and contemplate the nature of existence itself."

And it goes on to talk about each type of awareness. I'd love to quote more, buuut I shall refrain.

I'm also reading Our Dreaming Mind, which is pretty good so far! Apparently the last chapter is on Lucid Dreaming.

Lastly, I noticed that all my images are messed up in this DJ now... Besides that, I like the new layout.

Coin Stack (Non-lucid)

Me and R are robbers. I think it's in Walmart that we make the clerk give us these coins. They're not quite gold, more like silver. She says she only has 75 and I say that's fine. Each coin amounts to $1.

I think we were in a house at one point?

Keywords: Contingency plans, rent

Recording (Non-lucid)

I was looking through a video camera type thing at a recording of a guy. I pulled the device away to see a guy messing around beside me. I'm pretty sure this took place outside.

Horror (Non-lucid)

Horror movie type murder - suspense, woman character, it was dark

Hide and Seek (Non-lucid)

I woke up a LOT and had flashes of dreams when I did sleep, so I woke up after the previous dream, went back to sleep and fell into the same one, only it turned into hide and seek and not so much horror.

Keyword: A button

Igirisu! (Note)

RL: Riley woke me up (or I was already awake) and was meowing. I sat up and called out 'England' instead of 'Riley'. She proceeded to respond to the wrong name by jumping up on the bed.

Notes: 'England' comes from Axis Powers Hetalia as the anthropomorphic country and personification Arthur Kirkland. So I may have been dreaming of that, but not the actual United Kingdom in RL. =P
