non-lucid

Morning of April 23, 2017. Sunday.



I am not sure of the location. Even though Zsuzsanna and I seem to be home from shopping at a grocery store, there is also a cashier or unknown female from the store present in the scene.

Apparently, we had bought bowls of food that were already prepared. There are a few different pasta dishes and at least one item in a small cardboard package. Somehow, I cannot eat from one serving as if there is some sort of force field. The female mentions something about the food needing to be decrypted or decoded prior to eating. One has to use a certain herb or spice in a decryption packet to make it possible for the food to be edible. I do not consider how absurd this concept is.

Instead, I am able to get one of the packets and put it over the top of the bowl of inedible pasta. I am then able to eat some of it, because it has now been decrypted (decoded).

---

Encrypting and decrypting food as one would encrypt and decrypt binary data such as a document is one of the oddest ideas that has occurred in a dream in recent memory. The bilocated essence of being in our house and somehow still being in the grocery store though, is typical of my dreams.

Update on Thursday, 4 May 2017: I had temporarily forgotten about a dream from 1988. In that dream, I had to use the bathroom. On the front of the toilet tank was written “ENTER PROPER ACCESS CODE”. This was so hilarious (as I had been working with computers most of the day) that it woke me up with the urgency to go in reality. (The dream was a “3” on the lucidity scale, but I was not wholly creating it with my conscious mind.)

---

WILD #1-I was trying to fall asleep when my peripheral vision seem to expand outwards and I felt some light vibrations. A scene of a room formed. I saw a DC with a camera. I realized I was on tv! I said hi to the camera. I could see myself being filmed on a screen. I looked like an elderly person. I woke up.

WILD #2-I was trying to fall asleep when my body lifted up off of my bed. I got back down and found an open area. I turned my hand back to summon an orca and felt a mouth. I turned around and a full size orca was floating there. I got on its back to ride it and told it to go outside. It was going slow for some reason so I told it to hurry up. It seemed frustrated. I woke up.

DILD #1-I woke up in bed and noticed that the numbers on my alarm clock didn't look right. I got out of out bed and found an open area. I turn my hand back to summon an orca and felt a mouth. I turned around and there was a large reptile of some sort, about 12 feet long. It was like half turtle and half crocodile. A turtledile! I told it go away it walked away. It went around the corner to go down a hallway. Happy I finally banished something, I jumped through the floor into a void to teleport. I kept falling in the void as I waited for a dream scene to form. I saw I was going to fall into the ocean, right next to an orca. I figured it was the same orca from my last LD, so I stopped myself midair to float above it. I sensed that it was not happy with me because of how I demanded it to hurry up. I asked the orca if it was mad and it aggressively blew air through its blowhole. I figured it was no use running away from it so continued towards it to let it eat me. It opened its mouth and I went through it. I phased through the back of its mouth. I was now underwater as I swam through past some sort of organs which looked like white kelp. As I continued, I was no longer underwater and instead was in a cavern. I heard some sort of Latin dance music playing. I woke up.

This guy from Chicago just showed up at a wedding he wasn't invited to, and he didn't know anybody there. He walked over to the dance floor and passed out. Suddenly, it turned into a YouTube video. One of the comments was, "Should have said Never giving up, Livin on a prayer"

Morning of April 22, 2017. Saturday.



I am in one of the King Street apartments; one I rented in real life; the northeast one (on the second floor). However, it is also integrated with our present bedroom. As usual, this unique composite does not register as such with me. My wife Zsuzsanna is present but in another part of the room at first. An unfamiliar young black female is in our bed on her back with the sheet fully over her. There is a presumed backstory that she is staying with us, which has something to do with her husband, who is a dream journalist on the Internet, who is somehow “missing” (or to become missing?). (He has posted on that site since January of 2015 on a very regular basis, sometimes on a day to day basis, and now is not - therefore I must mark this dream thread as precognitive as there was no hint his posts would stop, even for a short time. All of my longer dreams have precognitive threads but I do not always document or update their status as such online.) We are having a conversation about what he has written and how he might be helped, though I do not recall all the details of the conversation.

Eventually, Zsuzsanna becomes annoyed (and I guess wants to go to sleep or just for us to have privacy) and tells her to leave.

Soon, there are several (unfamiliar) people in the room, almost as if it was some sort of reunion. The door remains open. A Tahitian girl (of about seventeen) and her white-haired mother enter the room, her mother on the right (from my viewpoint). They are dressed the same, in short bright floral dresses, and they are the same height. The girl has some of Zsuzsanna’s essence. I somehow recognize her and I feel almost like a child again. I go to hug her. When I hug her I look up and realize that she is about seven feet tall. It is extremely vivid, as other dream endings of this same nature are.

---

A standing and hugging event such as this, when it does occur, always occurs in the last moments of a dream or consciousness shift into an offset dream (only when lucid in the latter case). It symbolizes coalescence with the emergent consciousness in real time. What I find very interesting is how vivid in terms of proportions it is here. On one level, it seems probable that it is based on the memory of the size-orientation of being a child and hugging an adult. On another level, it is probably a reversal of Zsuzsanna and I in perspective, though exaggerated.

Like Ice Skating On The Ocean

I forgot this dream but when I read Elements on SpellBee's competition thread I remembered. There was a small moment of lucidity at the end.

Anyways, in the dream I was with a dc that was telling me what story he wanted me to make. He apparently wanted a story where power would be the main theme and there would be a character that resembled him. I was animating for him too but after I sketched out a animated scene of a girl dancing in the ocean I felt myself be pulled into the scene.

I became aware it was a dream there and slid on the ocean top with my feet as if I was a graceful ice skating dancer. I did a twirl jump and continued but woke up after something else I can't recall happened


Just A Tad Bit Creepy

I was non lucid in my old house putting fresh peaches into a pot than mixing them together. As I slowly turned the spoon and fruit, it melted and turned into a smoothie like substance. I wondered if it was the same reaction you'd get by whisking an egg yolk than poured some oats and fresh berries inside. I wanted to make some sort of oatmeal with berries now. After putting some milk in I stopped though.

My older brother was at the dining table and coughing as if he was about to choke on his food. He ended up being okay but I noticed his stomach was puffy and had a huge inner gap where his belly button was supposed to be.I was confused by how he got that way but than realized it was a dream.

Walking away from him I thought of Eye and how in the past he would have what seemed like territory or a hang out downstairs. It's like all my guides had a room they appeared in often. Dawn and Eye were downstairs and kiro usually upstairs or outside on random streets. Well, after thinking of Eye he appeared and began hovering around me than towards the stairs. I found him to be somewhat creepy at the time. After noticing a white board in the kitchen with a french sentence "Elle Sapelle Charlotte or Chattate" I ran and watched as he jumped downstairs and began gesturing for me to follow him.I told him no but he just kept gesturing. Eventually I thought I would end up with eye downstairs and suddenly we appeared in a room downstairs. As I watched him, I heard a knock on the door and thought it was Dawn. "I know you two are in there" he replied. Wondering what to do I eventually decided to leave the room and gently pushed Eye out of the way and ran out.

I ended up in an unfamiliar house where Eye also appeared flying towards me. "You can't run from me" he replied. My brother who also happened to be there got in the way and told Eye to stop.But Eye wouldn't back down so they started wrestling. Feeling unsure of what to do I put my hand on the ground and lifted it in front of me to shield myself from eye as I flew backwards. But Eye just flew closer to me when he pushed my brother out of the way. The setting also became wonky as this unfolded. What caught my attention is when a portal opened showing the statue of liberty in the ocean, covered all the way up to her shoulders. "Is this a symbolism of how freedom is going down the drain"I thought when it appeared. But anyways my brother jumped to Eye again so I used the opportunity to run and push myself through a wall and into a room.

Eye managed to stop my brother from fighting though and went up to me telling me something about his authority.I didn't bother disagreeing with him though and let him say whatever he wanted.After that something I can't recall happened than I woke up.

4/21/2017

I was laying on my stomach behind a truck. Those things couldn't see me like this, correct?
There was shattered glass on the ground, glistering on the ground by the street lights.
To the right of me is a box, the top of the box opens. A guy is mangled inside it and tells me: "You idiot you're supposed to be in a box, it's safe in there." The top of the box closes.
I now go into a "Safe" room, it's a libary of somesorts; three other guys are in the room with me.
This 'Skater' like dude looked me dead in the eyes - "You only have 10 hours to live." but isn't that only if I go outside where the zombies are?

-Timeskip-

The room is now covered in cardboard because, the guy in the box said 'it's safe inside a box.' Not the whole room is covered in cardboard however...some bookshelves and the shower in the bathroom are not covered. In the bathroom I look at the shower thinking that for somereason Zombies could teleport to the shower.
I dismissed that thought.
I looked at the bookshelves, "Maybe the bookshelve is a secret door to someplace?"
I was right! A entry did show up!
I start to walk down the steps and I said: "I don't believe in DLC 5 anyways..." the skater dude held me back by grabbing the back of my shirt.
The room started filling up with water. I saw two guys jump down and swim. I can't swim but I had no choice, the water kept filling up the room. I dived down into the water and floated up to the other side...
What happened next...? I don't know I forgot - but I think it involved an AI similar to the one in Resident Evil...

-1-In a high-tech building, I opened an attic door that had nothing special in it. Then, I discovered a hidden door that led to a secret room in the attic. Everything was old and dusty, and looked to be around 200 years old. Also, fitting National Treasure music played in the background. After I left the attic, Riley from National Treasure showed up at the front door. He said, "Are you kidding me?" And ran inside. Next, I found myself entering a room near the attic with the help of Riley's hacking skills.

-2-I was at the top of a skyscraper in Paris. I checked the charge of my Dark Steel Boots. They were nearly depleted. (They completely negate fall damage when powered.) Because of this, I readied the command to toggle the glider function on my Dark Steel Chestplate. I then jumped off the top of the building, and shook my phone to open the glider about 10 stories from the ground.

-2 scenes were lost.

Morning of April 21, 2017. Friday.



I am watching a movie which is supposedly a sequel to “Finding Nemo”. It may be called “Finding Nemo’s Girlfriend” or at least that seems to be the main plot.

The movie seems to be in an advanced form of CGI. The fish speak and seem very “real”. The search is on for Nemo’s girlfriend (though it does show her in certain scenes where the others are not aware of her location). After a time though, it is revealed that there are people in very unusual costumes with mechanical attachments that create the animated fish in the movie. This includes a smaller robotic fish (or another ocean creature in robotic form) attached to the top of each person’s head, as well as attachments to their arms and some sort of cylindrical form around their body. They seem to be on break and sitting on chairs in a semi-dark studio. There remains a vague (but mostly subliminal) association with being in the Cubitis living room. For a moment, I am confused, as if they do not care about Nemo’s girlfriend or properly ending the movie, but then I realize it is just the making of a movie in progress and the fish characters are not real beings.

---

What a curious way to validate fish as symbolizing lower levels of the conscious self, submerged in the dream state, playing a role in real time.

Morning of April 21, 2017. Friday.



My wife Zsuzsanna and I are walking somewhere that seems modeled (in conscious afterthought only) after an area in La Crosse, south of the overpass near Loomis Street. As we walk towards the overpass, I see an unknown male to our left, who had apparently been walking over the overpass and is going in the opposite direction.

The setting is odd and not based on any real-life memory of anything other than the overpass itself. There is a set of unusual railroad tracks over the overpass to our left (which was never there in reality), which takes up about half of the width. There are no cars seen. Looking back, I see the man completing his trip over the overpass, which seems to be a very difficult path to walk over.

Instead of railroad ties, the continuity of the railroad track design is based on pillow-shaped black “rocks” (though more like large lumps of tar), which are about as wide as the tracks and a bit too high for the rails themselves to be feasible. Additionally, there are a few telephone-pole-like features, a couple car lengths apart for each, on each side, but only a very short distance from ground level (only slightly higher than the pillow-shaped “rocks”). It seems that it might prove to be difficult to walk in the area. Still, I tell Zsuzsanna that I could walk through that area, though we keep going north on the sidewalk.

Soon, as we reach the peak of the overpass, still walking but slightly floating in midair at times, I suddenly decide to use our “car” to go the rest of the way. This makes no sense, as I can easily push it and we are ready to get in, and yet it is invisible, and it would be ridiculous to assume I had pushed it up the overpass with it being no wider than the sidewalk, yet that is the “sudden false memory” that is rendered prior to waking.

---

This dream, like most of my dreams, is extraordinarily easy to decode in meaning for what it actually is in real-time dynamics (rather than nonsensical faddish or superstitious “interpretation”).

• The unknown male going in the opposite direction is the personified preconscious transmuting back into the personified unconscious. There was no confrontation as I was already on my way to the passive waking stage.
• The overpass is a direct metaphor for waking. Zsuzsanna is walking with me on the sidewalk as we are in the same bed in real life at the time.
• The railroad tracks lined with the “pillows” are a “vaguely disguised” first-level dream sign that validates the path of the preconscious back “down” into my dream.
• The “stunted telephone poles” represent my lessening connection (and potential communication) to the dynamics of my dream state. This of course is only a liminal space transition, as my unconscious mind is far more accessible to me when I am awake in whole consciousness.
• Our “invisible car” is a mental “vehicle” of pretense in assuming my dream setting has physical dynamics in the very last moments of waking, almost like a comedic afterthought, yet not hypnopompic.

Nerimeno again (frag)

Think I was watching another dream battle scene with Nerimeno in it.


Getting back from work (full nld)

Started I was leaving work and found a truck waiting for me with two people in it which may have been Data and Asuka. Asuka looked like T for a bit. I may remember some other woman in the car.. because I remember having some conversation about how guys dick size doesn't matter? Not sure. After a while asuka looked like R a manage i use to know from Walmart.

Data pulls the truck to my house apparently but he drives through the back yard. It looks like a total mess, and to be honest the whole place looked like choppy graphics from GTA San Andreas. In fact my house could have been CJ's house on grove street.. It looked really rundown and ghetto. Half the yard was dug up as if Ryder had been there looking for his secret stash. I thought it was all weird when I woke up.

Co worker prank (frag)

Brief frag of being at that house. The next part is gross so will put it in a spoiler

Spoiler for gross:

I was spiking a nasty co workers water bottle at Burger Shot with semen or something.

WBTB at 3:45 am. Probably slept around 4:50

Back to school (full nld)

Dream of Asuka, data, finding my dad in the school from the night before. We were walking my waking life dog Buddy around.

My dad mentioned how he was inheriting money from his friend R. I thought that was wierd. My dad went through a door to a class but instead it was a house and street... maybe his inner world? We walked on a bit and turned to a stairwell that also had an elevator. We went in there and I was just with my dog and some other dog. My dog fell asleep in the dream and I did the same.

FA, somewhere in the school, started walking around again but woke up.

I don't really feel like writing this dream down since I barely remember it or did anything but it was a tiny bit interesting to me.

I was somewhere where I was discussing something with a group of dreamers and guides. We were trying to figure out how to fix a world that was ruined and lost its color. I tried creating some colorful blue, pink and green plants in order to give the place more life than realized I was in my old home where my dog use to sleep at. It was near the yard entrance and I became lucid but was distracted by a scene that began to envelope the setting.

The setting became a black world with green lines that went horizontal and vertical. Kind of like a virtual world. On top of a circular platform blending into the background was a rectangular thing in the middle and Dawn in his anime form but wearing a lab coat and looking shorter than he should be. On the left to the platform sat a sort of transparent alien with a black cloak on. He was the height of two tall men stacked on each other and was kind of big.

Dawn mentioned to a small group in front of him that the world needed a giant silent monster, the one with the black cloak, to bring out something of the world. He than passed the object in the middle and became invisible. He mentioned something about the invisibility afterwards but I can't recall.I ended up losing lucidity though and began drawing a anime girl with a ribbon in her long braided hair, wearing a Japanese sailor suit.I was thinking of making a story about her fighting off vampires to save her younger brother but than changed my mind .There was also something about blood being hidden in her hair.

D1 - Car needed repairs so my wife put a large slab of Styrofoam into the car, so it looked like some kind of sandwich Oo

D2 - On a boat at night, some people were planning some kind of a party. They had a giant tub of some kind of white drugs. I consumed a big of heap of it. Then I needed to pee real bad, I went along a path and couldn't hold it anymore, so I had to pee everywhere. But this did not stop my urge to pee so I had to keep going every few minutes. I realised it must be something to do with the drugs. The man on the boat found out about it and offered to pay me money for my pee as it contained high amounts of the drug xD

Was inside a space capsule which didn't stop moving trying to WILD.

Had to steal a bunch of weapons from a group of Vikings and ended up hurting myself in a sword.

I was on a desert tropical island with a bunch of others, mostly kids of varying ages. There was also large hangar with airplanes, strangely. Something had divided our group, and we were preparing for a major fight, "tribal war". I don't even know what it was about, but it was serious. We had everything ranging from improvises clubs to slashing weapons. Even the smallest kids, aged 6 maybe, wanted to take part. I used a pen I found as improvised weapon, but said to the guy next to me that I wished I had my gun. This was in the tense moments before the "battle" in front of the hangar, were both groups (maybe 20 kids each) were lined up in front of each other. I suddenly decided I wanted no part in it. I wanted off the island, and this fight seemed to me a barbaric way of wasting time. In the next scene, we'd sent out two of the aircraft to scout the environment around the island. I "knew" we were near Tenerife. I saw the world from the perspective of the nose of the plane, and noticed the pilot was flying way too low. I could see the bottom of the ocean through the crystal clear water. I think he was looking for more islands instead of civilization. I just wanted him to go higher so I could spot any inhabited islands.

-I was in my old house with a backpack and headphones on. I had to put on a bunch of extra clothes, and then take off the backpack and headphones. It was annoying. Suddenly, I was back in my current house, about to leave on a trip at night. We turned all the lights off. Next, I went downstairs and clapped once very loudly, which indicated my need to escape for some reason. Then, the dream destabilized and it paralyzed me, which is the most annoying conclusion to a dream or sorry excuse of a "nightmare."

-At least 2 other scenes were lost because I'm not at home.
