non-lucid

This certainly wasn't the standard type of lucid dream for me, and I'm happy it lasted longer than a couple of seconds as well, here goes.

I was in a big city, and I had my bike and my smartphone with me (I don't own a bike in real life). And then... a talking monkey stole my bike, I was uncertain what to do at first and considered calling the police. Instead however I decided to run after the monkey and got my bike back by kicking against the back wheel and knocking it off. I went back to where I was first, all the while that monkey insulted and threatened me.

That's when I got angry, and lucid. As it often happens in my dreams, even lucid, I tapped into a certain power as if it was the most natural thing ever. I called upon the moons of Tibaro.
("Moons of Tibaro" is the clear sentence I remember I said or thought in the dream. A really interesting side note is that I thought about the dream while being awake and still had a piece of information imprinted on me when I thought about the moons, one of them was called "Shadow of Pria". I might be wrong about the Pria part but I know for sure it was a short word starting with P. But yeah, I didn't remember that from the dream, the information just popped up in my mind as if I was still dreaming.)
What I essentially did was some sort of telekinesis/summoning to call in an outrageously devastating storm of meteors from the moons of Tibaro (I think there were 3 moons and I brought debris from all of them). The impacting objects were all mostly black, maybe a bit gray, and had a structure and sheen like obsidian. With time the talking monkey transfigured into something entirely different, something that I almost killed a couple of times but every time I almost had it finished it regenerated before the final blow. It didn't even have a defined shape anymore.
At some point during the fight I also got to see things from a system view. I could see the moons of Tibaro, a large but uninvolved object which I presume was the planet Tibaro, and another... planet or moon that I was on. I really wonder what that place was I was on, considering it seemed to have the size of a moon, was very close to Tibaro, yet was not considered a moon of Tibaro. And here I also got the impression that the moons of Tibaro had some consciousness of their own, and they disliked the object that I was on. This is also why I said telekinesis/summoning earlier, because I feel that I've both called upon their power as well as using my own in the form of telekinesis to direct the meteors towards me.
The fight was so huge the city was turned into fine dust in which we continued to fight, and soon the planetary object I was on got a large part of its surface blown off by the fight, up to the point that the once almost perfect sphere was now VERY unshapely.

False awakening

I woke up in my bed. TV was turned on, my younger sister was lying on a bed in my room. I took a controller in my hand and turned off the tv. Sister said that she'll sleep there. I went out of bed and moved to toilet - it looked like before renovation, but it was all dirty. There were puddles of water all around and almost everything was covered with mud. I felt that it was really strange and that there is something wrong, I looked at the ceiling and saw a crack with water dripping out of it. I though "Must've been the rain."

Blurry fragment

Can't recall much, all I remember is a blurry fragment.

I was camping tonight, so my records are incomplete. I'm frankly amazed I remembered anything ...

Naval infiltration
I'm in a huge elevator, going up. On one wall, there's a giant glowing "6," but I don't know if it's showing what floor it's going to, or which elevator is it, or what. Off to the side, I see a door that leads into the bathrooms, and I'm amused - I've never seen an elevator with onboard bathrooms before, but this one is certainly big enough for it.

Now I've done something, gone back down, and gotten back on with a friend. I look for the bathroom and am surprised that I don't see it any more - I'd really been hoping it would be there ... I also note that the 6 isn't glowing any more. We reach our destination floor. Now we're in a dimly lit room. It's long and narrow, and we're near what seems to be a bathtub. Somehow, the bathtub is related to our reason for being here.

Now we're in a speedboat headed away from some kind of small floating "base." My companion indicates that "they" managed to get tracking devices onto us. He takes my bluetooth headset and a pair of wire snips and snips them right down the middle of the boom mic, then hands it back to me saying that it's safe now.

Now we're going along at full speed. A large bouy is in right in front of us and we end up crashing straight over it. It's where we were headed for, so we turn around as quickly as we can. As we turn, I can see that another speedboat is almost on top of us - they were following us the whole time! Without waiting, I dive into the water knowing that I must get to <the thing> before they do! I'm concerned that I didn't have a chance to get any breathing gear, and I think how nice it would be to be able to breathe underwater.

With that thought, I'm reminded of my personal goal and realize I'm dreaming. I completely forget about my pursuers and look around. The water is a light blue and is beautifully clear. Many swimmers are in the water around me, though most are higher up towards the surface - I'm already pretty far down. * I open my mouth and breathe in the water. I'm actually a little disappointed - I'd hoped it would feel really weird, but I just feel my real body breathing. In fact, even though I'm breathing through my dream mouth, I can feel the breath in my physical nostrils. I get a huge feeling of dissonance and wake up before I can do anything else.


Sick friend
I'm on a nice grass lawn outside a large house. I see a man come onto a small balcony with his wife, and I'm pleased: he's been sick for a long time, and it's good to see him up and about.

Now I'm sharing a bed with him, and his wife is in the bed next to us. I know I was glad to see him, but I can't figure out why we'd share a bed. I'm grateful to his wife for her kindness to us, and I feel bad for taking the spot which should have been hers.

On waking, the dream was explained: I'd been sleeping with my toddler who was having trouble sleeping in the tent.

D1 - Working for a company. We are joined by another and new company that seem reputable unfortunately they have been duped by others so that they can use our facilities, therefore gaining a back door entrance as we are not allowed to check their premises.
Inside the office of the new firm they have received an assignment of boxes. In my minds eye I see them as containing some kind of weird green plant.
In actuality when an employee opens the first box to find a very small insect like creature in some brown viscous gloop on his desk. He looks closer only to find the insect produces a mini-screen with red border, on the screen is written a statement saying they have nothing to fear. I can hear the thoughts of the insect as it laughs having fooled the humans.
He then feeds the insect some food, it immediately starts to grow dramatically in size. It is now almost human size and gaining. It is a blue and yellow giant ant (help!). It tries to put it back in a box in a filing cabinet but it has its pincers around his head and he is now trapped instead of the insect.

D2 - At my parents house they have made a much bigger plot of compost heaps, which they're are steps up and down to.

I felt like these were separate dreams, but since I didn't wake up I'll record them in a single entry.

I was a monk, or something of sort. We were at war with another monastery. Me and another person infiltrated the rival monastery. There were nobody present, and we snooped around, and we found a cellar which had some broken things in there. As we looked around I doubled over in pain and thought that somebody teleported a tack into my stomach. Yikes.

I don't quite remember how that situation was resolved, or it might have just transitioned, but I found myself going to sleep in the temple.

My dream transitioned to me going on Mapcrunch and messing around on a random street in Germany. I find myself bodily transported there at night. It was cold, but I was undaunted and I explored.

I found a coffee shop and drank coffee with somebody I thought I knew. My parent's orange shorthair exotic cat was with me all along and was following me. He was as shy and skittish as he was in waking life, though, even if he kept within the general vicinity of me. He kept wandering around the coffee shop and I was worried he'd get lost, so I put him inside my backpack. He did not seem to mind this, although he did tense and hiss if I tried to pet him.

My dream transitioned to me playing a round of Duelyst, but instead of playing with my own deck and faction, I got backfilled for someone else. They were in a terrible position, my general was a young man in a lab coat, and my enemy's general was an armored woman (or she might just be Faie) and we both seemed pretty Vanar-themed. THe map is also pretty icy, and there was a blizzard filter. I had only one health left, but my enemy only got one minion that can reach me, and it can deal 2 damage, so I played a card that healed me for two damage. Then I replaced my useless spellcards for any minions to tip the balance. The next turn, some kind of event happened that gave us both 20 health on top. The game went on, I start summoning a bunch of minions and trying not to die. It must've been infuriating for my enemy.

Last night, bed 9pm - 3:20am

I surfed the TV just before bed and stopped on a show called Doomsday. I had a bunch of "end of the world" dreams before and wanted another intense dreams like that. This is what I thought about while watching ICBMs streaking through the skies.

DR:
I just got to some beach. I'm walking to the sand and at the edge of it there is a pile of white socks. I laugh, knowing that all those people took their socks off to go on a sand and never got them later. I take mine off too, but I put them in my bag. I get to a building and walk inside. I walk around up and down the stairs and pick up two magazines to read later.

People start running around and I hear from someone, that Cesar (forgot the name) was assasinated. I think of the same reason that began WW1 and I know the war is about to start. I pull out my phone, throw the magazines to the floor and I need to call my mom to kinda say goodbye.

The Prom

With class we made a prom. For some reason girls haven't arrived so we made a men party out of it. At first it was in school, but then we moved to my house.

Failed WBTB attempt.

In darkness

I was in some old block of flats, in basement. It was completely dark, I was wandering the basements with two glock pistols with mounted flashlights ready. There was some sort of cataclysm that forced people to hide underground and escape from walking dead. I heard someone moving behind me. I turned back and lit that way with flashlights. There was a dark haired woman in white t-shirt and blue short trousers. She said "It's you. I just... wanted to find someone who I can trust..."

10/25/2016

There was like a Chevrolet commercial. Old timey looking, like a bunch of different cars. I was driving some kind of boxy weird truck thing that wasn't like anything I'd ever seen. There was a time portal thing and you could see stuff going away from you. Before that there was trip on a weird planet and the water wasn't okay to drink. And there was some kind of controversy about what we were going to eat and trying to get water samples. Then some alien took my fork and I couldn't get anything to eat. Then it switched to a cafeteria thing and we were trying to catch a bus and we needed a map. I didn't need one because I knew the way home, but they did for some reason.

I was out in the country coming up to a house, and saw a horse about 40 yards away as I walked down a kinda grown up gravel road. I climbed up on a thing like a pole barn without the metal sheeting, just the frame it was metal. I didn't want to have trouble with the thing. I didn't really do anything, but then it seemed like it was a moose for a while. Somebody was trying to say something, like I had something wrong with my feet, like an open sore and there was some kind of larva or worm crawling in my foot and someone got rid of it for me.

10/20/2016
10:30 – 6:30ish

Something woke me up and I tried to WILD. Saw amazing HI for a while. It worked up to the point of seeing a scene form, but then I woke up.

Some random dream happened, but I don't remember it now. Kinda overshadowed by the other thing

10/22/2016
horrible sleep
1:00 – 3:00
7:00 – 8:00
9:00 – 12:40 or so

Explained something that I thought was real to some DC, a fight of some kind, but then realized that it didn't
really happen. Pretty realistic conversation, but that's about all I remember.


10/23/2016

Kind of the tail end of something else. Some person from a dream something. They were trying to get interested in some gear they had. Without getting sick. They kept getting interrupted or something

Kinda like a D&D thing, really meta-gaming. During the game people inside the game were arguing about one version versus another version, and how it would be different if they were playing a different version. Like it wouldn't be like this. They were arguing about this in character though and still arguing about that. It's funny now, but it was serious at the time. It was really snowy, with different types of characters. Very lifelike. There were different types of people not just humans. I think there were halflings.

10/18/2016
10:30 – 3:30
4:00 – 6:30

I was trying to find these academic papers. They were in these buildings, like a barn type thing
with academic papers. There were a lot of Russian people. I remember trying to climb down a ladder
trying to get this stuff. There was quite a bit that happened, but that's all I remember.
<break>
We were riding in a truck, no top on it I'm pretty sure, there was a lot of wind. There were a few of us in it, going so fast I slid in front of the seat on the floor and had trouble getting back up. Then later me and some guy were driving along this big tree that was way above the ground, I didn't see how far up. It was really windy tree and curved back on itself in a lot of places. We were driving across to other trees, or other parts of the same tree. We pulled off to sleep. There was power, electricity and we recharged something. One of the people with us was a girl, but I don't remember anything else about her.

There were these kind of cowboy type people they had been doing something bad. We actually didn't run into them, but killed somebody apparently. There was an classroom setting part of it was people making beer, and a DC was getting mad at them going up the stairs. No sure what was going on in the class room. Where we were reading a book. Some was in Japanese and a guy was reading it super fast, so I tried to read it, but I don't remember what it said.

A guy was getting kinda interviewed. They'd asked him about these guys beings sad that they'd killed that guy. But the guy interviewing them saw through it, it seemed like he was lying.

10/17/2016
10:30 – 3:30 ( I think)
4:30 - 6:30

people getting sick, but little kid like 2 got through it and was immune, and somehow
spread it. A bread delivery thing. Like a little white cat or rabbit, with a dog following it
around, very cute, very bright.
<break>
Adventure kinda thing, outside in a grassy area with trees. Bunch of people scattered
hiding around, war time, there were lots of arrows no guns. It lasted a long time, I
forgot a lot of it. I was trying make stuff, it was kind of like a game. I remember pressing
'm' on a keyboard and then seeing where the thing would be made, an outline kinda like
ARK. There was a blue outline under some brush where I would be hidden if I went there.
A bunch of people came back, like they were skirmishing, but came back. I was part of their
group. I was in a wagon, and guy could hide me somehow in some fog he was saying.
Then it cut to like a part where I was reading and seeing a video like you tube on a website
where you could hide under a tree, by glitching under the ground and you shoot out through
the tree like a it was bug in a game. Then some of the people with the wagon and saying
some Japanese stuff. The guy that was going to hide asked me if we should hide. He called
me 殿下（でんか） so maybe I was a noble or something, and asked if we were going
to hide. Either me or someone said 当たり前.

10:30 – 4:30ish
5:30 – 9:30

Similar to a game, waves of different armies that would come and you'd have to fight
them. There were people in it, but the combat was a kind isometric view. There was some
way to had to convince the people who were there. I was doing a lot but wasn't in charge
of it. There were tanks that were a kind of Tron-like.

Game kind of setting. 3D, like VR, flying a ship around trying to complete as much
as you could, when your ship got destroyed you'd need to start over. There was a
thing that I couldn't see, it appeared when I hit it, kinda like a pine cone shaped
thing that teleported me to a different place on the level. I felt like I could see the
exit maybe. There was a kind of work situation outside the came, that was pretty
tense, but I don't remember what it was.

10/8/2016
10:00 – 4:00
6:00 - 9:00
<after full waking break>
Setting was a kinda like my old place inside. People came over, I knew one of
the from twitch, and they had a baby. I had to watch him, it was outside, the
baby kept disappearing. I was trying to play games and watch tv, but the
baby kept disappearing and I had go find him. I was using a tracking device
of some kind for a while, with display with some red circles where it thought
the baby was. Carl Lewis was there running around with his gold medal.
A guy dropped his phone, which was a big deal somehow. At one point I
thought that I had woken up and that wouldn't have time to go to sleep again,
and try to get lucid again, but that was a false awakening.

(bad sleep, sick)
<after break>
Something to do with a sheriff, there was a vehicle kind of like a Blazer. It had some
yellowish graphic or something in the back window. It was bright and sunny in the
only image I can remember. Something about people not wanting to engage something

10/12/2016
10:30 – 3:30
6:00 – 7:00
(bad sleep again, I guess I got to sleep around 6. Being sick really distracted me.
Almost remembered the dream after the break, but the alarm kept going off and I had
enough trouble turning it off that it blanked me out. Uninstalled that alarm, it was draining
my phone battery...

10/13/2016
10:30 – 5:30
(focused on getting sleep mostly, still kinda sick, but slept fine)
- A bunch of different pieces of beef were at different temperatures, some frozen. I
heated them up to the same temperature. Pretty vivid.
- Work dream. Sick, sneezing.
- Work people I didn't know talking about being sick and working from home. It was a
very realistic, natural situation.

10/4/2016
10:30 – 1:30
2:00 – 6:45
- Fantasy Setting. Multiple people going through a place. Lots of stone
walls. Somehow fire burned a lot of it. We were moving bodies around
it was really weird. Maybe we were hiding them or keeping them away
from someone. A desperate situation. Maybe I'll remember more details
later.

• fantasy setting (CONTEXT)
• I don't move bodies around (CONTEXT)

<break>
- Outdoor setting. Driving two cars, one on an upper road and one on a
lower road less than a mile apart. Driving one and then getting out and
moving the other one forward, then doing the same thing. Pretty nice
looking country.

• ridiculous way of moving cars (ACTION)

- Maybe connected to the first thing. There was a community dinner thing
like it was some kind of retreat. They served me this nasty looking fish
and I was pretty sad. A whole fish, about as big as a sandwich. It was
not what I wanted at all. I was trying to find some bread. I'd gotten some
Nutella and was looking for toast. A guy tried to help me, maybe he did,
but then that part was over. There was some smuggling or pilfering going
on there. Some hiding around corners and trying not to be seen. I remember
them sneaking packages of meat around. Maybe I helped them a little. There
was a girl in a white dress they were calling Inertia.

10:30 – 4:30 (don't know when break happened)
Slept through, didn't wake up enough to remember anything

10:15 – 5:00 (don't know break time, didn't remember it)
<break>
Maybe a younger setting, but not a real one. Was talking to a girl I knew in
school at social gathering. Showed her a notebook with maps from a lot of
D&D games that I'd played (maybe in another dream). It looked like the
parties had been wiped going from the drawings. As I was showing a
specific one, the scene changed into that run, I knew what the transition
was. She reacted to the scene change, then I didn't see her anymore.
There was a board on board fence that I could see through easily with a
regular guy egging on a giant, like 8 feet, not incredible, to come after us.
He threw a spear that was like 12 feet long at me, but missed and broke it
mostly in half. He broke off about half of it and ran after me down the street.
I sprinted down the hill, but he was too fast, so I got on top of the fence and
ran along it. He did the same thing. I was shaking the fence a couple feet off
center in each direction, but he still didn't fall off. I didn't really feel like I was
going to get hurt. It ended then.

9/25/2016
10:30 - 5:00 (wk at 3:00) (1?)
7:00 - 10:00 (3?)
- Almost didn't remember anything, but didn't give up and remembered.
Kinda like a TV show, NY maybe. It was like that was some stuff at
the end, not the main part. I remember a house.
<break and could not get back to sleep>

- A lot of guitar store dawdling around, eventually some super
vivid fast playing, very crisp sound. Close up view of my hand
playing, it felt like I was completely in sync with my picking
and clean.

• played better than I normally can (ACTION)

- More of the guitar store setting, don't remember much else
- Very strange dream, part work/office, but not real work. This
centered on going to lunch and rounding people up to go.
Ex co-worker JDC, a girl I knew in high school and another DC. There
was something about a some TV I had setup and someone moved
it for a meeting. The girl and my friend were there and the girl
had an Elmo about 3 inches tall with a tv for a head that they
were watching. The Elmo tv thing was on its side. And she had her
head laying the the table sideways as she watched it. We finally
ended up leaving the girl behind. I kept getting my foot stuck in
hinge side of a door in crowded hallway, like in school, when it opened.
They had painted around it in some way that made you want to
put your foot into the wrong place, it was weird. Met a guy that
followed along with us after some other stuff. Eventually his dad
showed up too. We had lunch at this place in a really tall building,
which after we had climbed up it, flew up it pretty much, it kind of
disintegrated and the city or whoever replaced it with a very unnatural
looking little palm tree thing about 5 feet tall. We had pictures of the
place before it went away and were showing it to passers by and saying
we didn't think it was right for it to be replaced with that thing.
