Non-Lucid Dreams
Happy 2017! So, I've just been focusing on getting lucid. After Caiocontieri talked about wanting space dreams on IRC, I decided to incubate some too. Autosuggestion worked nicely. 1.1 Crash Landing in another Universe I am the commander of my own space station, just like I visualized before bed. The station is massive and capable of travelling from a universe to another. We are orbiting a new planet with alien life. I want to be part of the first party to land on it. I take two crew members with me to a spaceship with three seats. The ship looks like a bit like the one in Star Wars. The ship Luke flew when taking down the AT-AT. We get in and the ship is slowly being lifted out of the hangar. We are on a ramp and we see space, the planet and part of the station in front of us. The locking mechanism is malfunctioning and our ship starts sliding down the ramp. "Oh fuck!" I yell as I look at the part of our station we are falling towards. It's at least 1km until we hit the station and several kilometers below that is another level that we might hit. We hit the station and start spinning out of control as we fall towards the planet. We are still picking up speed. This is going to hurt. I try to calmly put on my seat belt, which is difficult thanks to the ship spinning. After I get the seat belt, all I can do is wait and hope for a miracle. Maybe we land in an ocean or something. The ship softly stops just before hitting the ground. A large red alien man with tentacles used telekinesis to stop our ship. We are in an alien city. The atmosphere is denser and deep blue. It's also toxic to humans. We hold our breath. A lot of humanoid aliens rush to help us. I try to communicate that we need air. My crewmate tries to draw this on a piece of paper in a way they could understand. I also tell them that we came from another universe. I take a few breaths as a test. Breathing doesn't hurt, but I still believe it's toxic.
31/12/16 Dream 1: ! get caught going through red light, end up losing license for 6 months, to make it worse mum buys me a birthday present of all the wrong books, I get pretty mad.
I am with my wife, son and daughter. We are trying to decide where to go on vacation. My wife says, "We'll just turn right at Alvarado" (Alvarado is a small town in Texas where the junction of I35W and 67 is located). The weather outside is bright and sunny. The dream suddenly fades and transitions to us all being at a train depot. We are now deciding which train to take. A train pulls up and opens it doors. As we are still deciding, my son enters into the train. Before I can get him out, the doors close and the train departs. In the dream I do not feel a sense of panic (I would totally freak out were this to happen in WL). As I am pondering my son no longer being with us, my wife pushes a button on the wall which causes all the trains in the system to stop and reverse. As the train comes back to our station, and although I am still on the platform, my dream eyes are suddenly teleported into the cabin to look at all the passengers' surprise. I can also see all the monitors in the operating office at the depot showing the trains reversing. I see the operation technicians getting up from their chairs, alarmed that someone has interfered with the system. They are wearing sunglasses and uniforms. As I continue to watch them, it begins to dawn on me that they are actually terrorists -- and they are not inside depot offices but inside the actual train my son is in! As they start to hijack the train, I hear shouts and gunfire. The shouts are in a foreign language. I hear a word resembling the sound of "skinjib" and, for some reason, come to the determination they speaking Albanian. Dreamt 12/14/2016

My daughter keeps getting apocalyptic dreams, I said I don't , so as a result I did. I was with a group of others, hiding atop a ridge of square concrete blocks. Hardly moving as a load of infected people went by, on both sides, unable to run for fear of being spotted. Met up with Rob and friends who had been infected, he was pissed that I hadn't been. He had a bleeding arm with a big bit of metal sticking out, so he gave me a bear hug and stuck it into my arm to infect me. It stung like hell. Thanks Rob, lol.
30/12/16 Dream 1: A party, eating dinner, tons of food Dream 2: Collecting together a bunch of relatives, friends and random people to form football team, play a game, people disappear at 3 quarter time but everyone comes back and we start again. Some people talking about high school
bed @ 00:00 natural WBTB @ 4:40 Non-lucid Dream 1: I was at a new apartment me and a long time friend (Johnny) bought and we were just moving in, It was a true dream (ba dum tsss) ap, there were 2 rooms, each with it's own bathroom, and the kitches was so small and gorgeous it had me in complete joy just looking at it. After looking around, I went off on my own exploring the surrounding area on the terrace and it looked like the building had just been built. I look outside and there were two youtubers: Filthy frank and iDubbbz. They apparently also were invited to our new apartment greeting pizza buffet we had going. I remember having to deal with an annoying wasp that was desperately trying to sting me, and after a few tries I managed to get it killed (a couple dozen of shoe smashes later). Also there was this random DC girl that I didn't invite to the party and was pissed off about it, she wanted to take a whole garlic pizza once I decided to kick her out, and as expected she didn't respond well, which made me slap her across the face with the back of my hand.. and theeeeen BAM! I then woke up to my natural WBTB cycle and didn't bother staying up for long. I went straight back into the same dream and.. Non-lucid Dream 2: This time the front door had Johnny's mother ringing the bell way too loudly. I went there to say greet her and she was there because of her concern about my well being, because apparently I had a cold and almost at the same time I've heard this I went from a my normal voice to a flu/cold voice. At the time I was completely soaked in warm water that she noticed once she touched my arm, and so she asked about it and at the time I had a justification that I don't quite remember but made total sense to me (?). We decided then to walk along the giant walls that surrounded the apartment complex, and at the peak of the highest level of the ground we could actually see what was behind once face of this giant wall (trump much?):It reminded me of another dream I had some days ago, there were stages to some kind of hunger games type of thing. Back again the dream ended and I woke up to the sound of my father turning off the alarms of my house and decided to try Naiya's Simple MILD tech. (let's say it went dandy.) I had my intentions and started to picture this last dream I just had, I made sure to really think the details thoroughly and to remember to RC + stabilize once I was in. My recall is somewhat shitty about this event but I will try to describe it as best as possible. Lucid Dream 1: There I was at the same exact dream I just had, looking along the sides of the big walls, I remember looking at the DC (Johnny's mother) and saying I was dreaming and that her dialogue didn't quite matter to me any longer, I looked at my hands to RC and there it was, I had 11 fingers which had me like:"OH SHIT, OH SHIT, OH SHIT, OH SHIT!" I decided to take off in flight and as I was rising up the gray skies started to become a mesmerizing light blue with different touches of orange just like in a sunset. And then as I got excited it all just went black. Next thing I know I'm at my workplace and my father and another unknown DC were talking. I'm always respectful towards others, specially if they are finishing off something they are saying, so once they were done I was saying to myself:"WTF am I even listening to you both? I'm still in a dream.". And the dream started to fade away. I then woke up and didn't quite know if it was a dream or only my visualization on Naiya's technique, but now i'm certain it was a dream. The thing that tripped me out so much is that it was way too weird to feel myself laying in bed breathing and have 2 perceptual bodies. But I gotta say i'm way too happy to be right on track to having LDs
Waking up in the morning, in a small apartment, I try to get a lay in and stay in bed while partner leaves. I am looking at internet in bed when Billy turns up with his mother. he wants to show me something and I sit down with him at the breakfast table, he has his big toothed grin. I notice his mother Mandy has slipped off to side room and is a sleep in bed Oo leaving me to look after her child. I go upstairs and find another bed and get in unfortunately within minutes a woman and a man come into the room, they want to use it for band practise. They are with Clive, I say yes ok is he a singer or drummer in your band. They give me a strange look, drummer of course. I leave the room and more people come in, so I look for an empty room. I open a door and see a posh polish lady sleeping, she wakes slightly. There are rooms everywhere now. It has become a much larger house! I make for the stairs, they have changed into giant very fancy and super steep, almost vertical. An old lady easily manoeuvres her way down past me. The steps start sliding inwards like some mario game, still the lady finds it easy. I make it to the bottom, only to find a maid there. She asks me if I am interested in using the dinning room. It is now a large hotel Oo. There are hundreds of people now everywhere pouring into the hotel and also in the dinning room through to glass doors. I make my way back to where I started and find a cloakroom with my coat and keys in it. I get back into bed. I wake up.
This is an older dream that I felt like sharing here. 14.7 Emergency teleportation kit I'm on a space station. There are people and very advanced androids. I feel far away from Earth. I explore the station and encounter something I thought was impossible. Some of the androids have evolved. They have stronger parts. One in particular had arms made of shiny black metal alloy that was nowhere else on the station. We didn't know what it was. One of the androids became evil as it evolved. He saw me as a threat and dragged me to a room where they stored malfunctioning androids. I was packed tight between two androids. A force field activated around this hexagon shaped...storage unit. Before the walls encased me in darkness, the last thing I saw was the corrupted android's white, motionless, human-looking face. It was like a mask and it was smiling with empty eyes. I was in stasis. Years passed in seconds. I didn't feel hunger, thirst or fatigue. Suddenly my life was allowed to continue. An android ripped the wall open and I saw light again. He was the one with black arms. His arms could pass through the force field, he was the only one who could do it. I followed him through the dark space station. By the looks of things, I slept through a few centuries. I felt sad, angry and alone. The android led me to a storage room with old machines and supplies. I managed to turn on one of the machines, but it didn't do the amazing things I thought it would. It was broken. A few androids joined us in the search for one specific item: emergency teleportation kit. It was our only chance to get out of there safely, I assumed. I also assumed the corrupted android was still around and that's why we were in a hurry. After a while of searching we found a locker full of the kits we were looking for. I grabbed one and checked it. It wasn't empty. Awesome. Loud noise from the door. The corrupted androids found us. We all hid. The dream fell apart as I was trying to hide.
29/12/16 Dream 1: I was working at McDonalds, trying to make sure the fries don't get cold.
Went to bed at 12am last night, watching Breaking Bad marathon. So didn't WBTB for a WILD. I switched to sofa around 8 am and tried to WILD, but fell asleep. DR from the nap. There was more, but all I remember now is me running by an erupting volcano. (I saw few days ago how some volcano in South America woke up and was spewing huge amounts of smoke. I noticed lots of molten lava in the smoke.) It looked just like that in the dream. There was also something about me being at home, school reunion, my mom there too, my room teacher who didn't remember who I was.
Vivid dream about visiting Scotland and seeing my grandparents.
Bed @ 2145 Woke @ 0215; BTB @ 0230, couldn't sleep; BTB @ 0520 Woke @ 0640 Going to a wedding I'm at Bob W's house. I pull up YNAB on my phone to check something, and he sees it and asks me about it, appreciating that I'm taking good steps to take care of my finances. Now we're getting ready to leave to go to a wedding, and I'm still in my grubby clothes. I'm not sure where my good clothes are, but I think they're waiting for me where the wedding is being held. Now I'm in the house by myself; I know that everyone else has already loaded up in Bob's van and they're waiting for me. I have a moment of doubt about whether we'll all fit, but I assume he knows what he's doing and that we'll be fine. Now I'm sitting by myself in a vehicle. I look around and realize I'm not in a minivan. I get out and see that I was in a large station wagon. I walk out of their garage onto their driveway, and I see a huge double-decker tour bus, and I know they're waiting for me. I get on board. To my left, a narrow stairway goes up to the upper deck. Another passage leads off to my right to the driver, and I can only see one chair - a nice big padded one - in front of me. Now we're driving down his driveway, and the driver makes some comment about having shifted too many gears too soon, and that he can't shift back, so it'll be a tough merge into traffic on the main road. Now we've arrived and are in the room where the wedding will be held. It's a small room with lots of dark wood; very attractive, but I'm concerned that there are only three chairs plus a lectern. I look around the room again and realize that it's actually a hallway; there are many closed doors going this way and that. A woman - the wedding organizer - says that a couple more chairs are on their way, but I know that's just not enough - it won't even be enough for our small party, let alone for all the other guests. Looking through a window, I notice that one of the doors leads out onto a balcony. Now I'm standing on the balcony with Blake, looking down at a steep beach. A huge wave crashes over the beach, going way up the sand, eventually cresting the top and going down the far side. I can see a large bag get washed over, and I know that there's a path down there - though I can't see it - that's about to get washed over. Tasks of the Month I'm in a house, and I realize that I'm dreaming. I start to move slowly and carefully, then I remember that I always do that in my lucids and force myself to walk normally while making it a priority to remember that I'm dreaming. I try to remember what my goals are and remember that the first TOTM is to find a missed present. I try to visualize what a Christmas tree with a single present under it would look like, then turn around, expecting to find it. Instead, I find a whole bunch of small, sparse, undecorated trees. I don't see any presents, but I walk over and look under them. I see something small near the wall, so I crawl under the trees to get it. It's a huge pouch of Fruit by the Foot. I tear it open, curious as to what I'll find inside, and I'm almost surprised that it actually has Fruit by the Foot in it. I pull the roll out and see that it's not well rolled, and it's somehow really gooey. I unroll a bit and try a bite. Because it's so gooey, I end up getting a bit of the paper in my mouth, but I decide that, since I'm dreaming, the paper won't be a problem, and I can't even feel it. It tastes just like the real thing. I get some on my fingers, and I have trouble getting it off. Now that I've completed the first task, I try to recall another one, and I remember the pencil task. I start to form an image of a table with a piece of paper and a pencil; then I notice that there's already a table in front of me, covered with arts supplies, with someone sitting at while drawing. I'm already fixated on the idea of summoning a table and completely ignore the one in front of me. Once I have the image in my mind, I turn around to find a table exactly as I'd pictured it. Walking up to it, I mentally command the pencil to draw something. It rises to a 45 degree angle and starts to scribble all over the paper. Some areas are densely colored in with jagged strokes, and other areas have wide, flowing curves. Oddly, the pencil is drawing in blue. The paper was already half-covered in some kind of picture, and the existing design is quickly hidden by the scribbles. Now that I've completed both tasks, I try to think of something else to do, and I decide to summon Jadzia Dax (I have absolutely no idea where this idea came from - I haven't watched DS9 in years). I think of what she looks like and turn around, but no one is there. I start wandering the house looking for her. I see a couple of people and ignore them, then finally find someone who kind of looks like her, even if she is wearing a dress. As soon as I start walking towards her, she changes into a grizzled man with a buzz cut. I try to change him back, but it doesn't work, and the dream fades. BTB @ 0650. Woke @ 0810 Foiled flying I'm in a house looking at a post from Heather. A picture shows two of her boys playing with a strange toy: one of them is holding something in his mouth, and the other is pulling on a long elasticated cable attached to the mouthpiece. I can't imagine what this thing is supposed to do and how they can play with it without one of them getting hurt; either the one with the mouthpiece gets a face full of elastic or the other one ends up with a hard mouthpiece flying at him. The caption of the picture says something about home-made gifts often being the best ones. Now I'm working on Poppy's table with Bob H. The table has been pulled apart in the middle, and he's trying to put the leaves (3 of them, each 6 inches wide) back in. He's having trouble, trying to put them in the wrong way, and I really want to tell him that I'll take care of it, but I don't so I don't offend him. Eventually he puts an extension in the tip of the table (since when has this table had extensions?). I try to look at it without being obvious to see if the grain of the wood matches - I don't think he got it right. Thankfully, he announces that he needs to leave and asks me to finish up and then put the table away somewhere safe (it's currently off to the side of the living room just to get it out of the way). Now he's gone, and I realize I'm dreaming. Vividness is poor but not bad. I rub my hands, but it doesn't really do much. Nearby, I see my dog and cat lying down in front of the fireplace, and the dog is licking the cat. I praise him for being a good dog, walk over, and pet the cat. Her fur is warm and soft, and the dream grows more vivid. I try to focus on more of my senses to see what else I can pick up. I can't smell anything, and there's nothing to taste, but I can hear her purr. I stand up and decide that this time I'm going to practice flying. I walk down a hallway and turn left towards the front door. I open it and pass through and am disappointed to find myself in the garage. I decide there's no need to wait until I'm outside to fly and jump into the air then zoom towards the open garage door. Unfortunately, there's chain-link fence covering the doorway. I steel myself to pass through it, knowing that I've flown through things before; but as I'm about to hit, I have a moment of doubt, and I get caught my it. I manage to force myself through, but I'm disappointed to find myself in another indoor area. I scold myself for failing to properly imagine what I should find. Looking around, I see that there's a section of the ceiling that seems to be open, and I fly towards it. As I get closer, I see that it's also covered by chain-link, but at least I can see sky beyond it. Once again, I get caught by the fence, and I end up waking up.
I was in the back of a house at a party, with lots of kids at it. The house had a big wooden bit at the back so we were undercover from the elements. I threw a peach up high into the sky and it came down splat on someone. I really need to get back into writing my dreams when I wake up in the night.
I'm talking to the thing which is possessing/has become a part of a friend of mine. It's attempting to be threatening, and I'm attempting to stall. We're talking about why it would bother possessing someone at all. Although I don't say this out loud, I'm thinking that for me the appeal is what I think of as different flavors, the experience of different personalities/perspectives, when from the outside they pretty much all seem alike. And I'm also thinking that travel is the more obvious reason, the one that it would expect me to guess without having any personal experience with possession; and I think that sure, visiting Hawaii and seeing some pretty scenery is always appealing, but then there's the way humans will get up close to an active volcano, which is the really interesting part - meaning their thought process, not the volcano or even the danger itself. But the thing possessing my friend says that what it likes is the conversation; that we've been talking now for two minutes without pause, and it's enjoying the novelty. I don't get the appeal, but whatever works for you.
There was a lady explain that magic wasn't bad in it self. It depends on the type of magic you are practicing.
