NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was with Pau and other people. We were going on a backpacking trip. We didn't know where we were going but were excited about the adventure. I felt free. After walking for a while we were hungry. I grabbed my backpack and checked what I had brought; it was mostly rubbish. I had two dog toys, a string, some shirts, and a few snacks. I had a snack and Pau drank a cooler. We arrived at a restaurant; my aunt Laura and cousin Gustavo were there, as well as my mom and other people. I ate salmon with salad, but didn't recall ordering it. My mom told me we had ordered it before we arrived.

Dream skips and I'm in a hotel room with Juan Vi and Diego Almaral. Pau wasn't there anymore, but I assumed she was staying next door. I realized I hadn't asked how much the room was for the night, so I decided to google the rates. The hotel was called International Inn. The room was very luxurious; it had a big shower, marmol floors, and big beds. Diego took a minute-long shower. He then went outside and said he had seen Gerardo with another woman and a kid. I was confused. I went outside, it was a huge hallway. I took a peak through a tiny door, and it was a playground for kids. There was the guy whom Diego thought was Gerardo; he had some resemblance but it wasn't him. We had a short conversation, he said something about being here to rock climb. I went back to my room and realized there was a club inside the hotel. We went to line-up. The club was a huge steam room, and everyone was using swimwear. We got changed and lined up again. I saw Koji further up the line and hoped to run into him inside to catch up. The place where we were lining up was dark and steamy, and we could see the lights inside the club as it had glass walls, but were covered with steam. It was mostly house music and most people seemed to be on drugs; I wanted to get drunk but not too fucked up as we were leaving the next day.

Met a man who was wearing a suit and a rainbow afro. Was a vivid dream but no lucid because I was a bit lax and impatient with clearing my mind. Nor was I fully relaxed as I should have been.

Will try again during the next nap.

Since starting back in my lucid dreaming practices a couple of weeks back, I've recalled quite a few dreams, almost one every night, barring a few days, but I've yet to put any of those in here. With that being said, here's this morning's, in which I recalled two pretty sparse fragments and one non lucid dream.
My dad was insistently questioning me about shower curtains. Literally all I've got on this one. What could it mean? Are the shower curtains symbolic of the walls we put up around ourselves? 6deep8me.
I was in a very ritzy looking cafe, enjoying a cup of coffee and browsing my phone, looking at various pictures of a girl I thought was cute. Again, just a fragment. Unlike the strange nature of that first fragment, however, this dream had a nice, fluffy, happy feeling to it. Now, for the actual full non-lucid:
I was in some sort of ruins, and could see a sort of heads up display that looked like No Man's Sky's HUD. Lately, it seems like NMS has worked its way into my dreams in subtle ways. I was exploring these ruins on some sort of vague quest, gathering up materials and items. Eventually I found my way into a big building, which looked like something straight out of the game The Witness. It even had a similar puzzle inside of it that I was required to solve. Floating above the ground was a chrome-colored monolith with a red tree insignia on it. Touching the monolith made it dive into the ground, and several huge, red trees sprouted up around me. A river of orange-ish colored water began flowing between the crevices in the floor. How would I solve this puzzle? Unfortunately you get the cliffhanger that never ends on this one, as that's all I can remember.

It was midnight. I was watching TV, there was a movie about a girl that died and returned as a ghost, then tried to reclaim her lost life. It was really interesting, I couldn't stop watching it.

TDM GUN GAME

My Father was playing Gun Game on Black Ops 3, the order of the weapons was different. After my Dad finishes his match I go on the Xbox One and play.
I find out this is a Team Death Match version of Gun Game.

Had some other dreams on the tip of my tongue but I forgot.

This is a recurring dream I have, but haven't had in a while...But with a twist I realise afterwards that I am rewriting dream, to give myself another chance every time I get stuck.

At last minute I find out I need to get class ready for big performance, this time its xmas play. I have zero time and as a result my mind is fairly paralysed with fear/dread.
It is a Friday and I get a reprieve till Monday for me to think up a plan. The weekend evaporates and it is Monday morning leaving me with more or less the same dilemma. I have one lesson before show time. I waste the time talking to Ed who is doing last minute rehearsals with his class. So I change the dream and go back to day start again.
I waste the time worrying this time about what number to do with the class. So I go back in dream to lesson start again.
This time I decide on a number that they already know, twinkle twinkle little star, LOL. I realise that there needs to be a musical element.
I decide on kids using sleigh bells for that and check this is ok for performance with S in staff room. I then have to go back again in dream.
This time I get kids to listen to twinkle, twinkle and sing it while they are doing their work as in lesson they are supposed to be working.
I imagine being caught by management. I decide that the number is going to be a bit tame and go back again in the dream.
This time I include playing a electric guitar for twinkle, twinkle little star. Realise there is not enough time for this and
at last decide on a final version, which is to use a tape of a guitar playing near the end of the performance. Phew!

I'm at some unfamilar beach with a single small building and natural rock structures that have an opening through to the water. I am some sort of guard using a fake name and I am sitting on the side of some serious conflict in the building. There was some sort of argument and I remember feeling tense like this was a matter of war and I was in the presence of enemies. I sat next to some other similarly dressed people who seemed to be on my side. Then I left and became myself. I was with band and it was familar, at least two people and the director were. the rest were just a mass. We are in uniform and I want to take part in the "parade" (we are assembled at the opening, west of the singular building) but I am lacking a harness, white shirt, and coat. The white dress shirt is not a part of the uniform IWL. Seeing as I am unable to participate, I set the drums down (God knows how I was holding them up) and set off to find the "color guard shower". whatever that is. I remember hearing the sound of a shower growing stronger (voices too? unclear) and ending up in a curving passageway with a slight ascension. I am somehow aware I am still near the band despite said passage being invisible earlier (abstract space, DS). I only really remember coming into the end of it (I'm assuming there was a beginning) and it had cracks of light in the ceiling. The light would suggest sunlight but the passage was far too bright to be hidden from the sun and the cracks seemed to be beams. I think I woke up shortly after seeing these beams.

I saw my old (long-dead) cat Sylvester. However, I was very small, maybe 10 centimeters (3 inches). My very own cat tried to kill me. It bit me in the shoulder (I wasn't so small anymore, but my cat was definitely size of a tiger compared to me). It didn't really hurt.

I had a great Deus Ex-themed dream last night (that's a video game by Eidos Montreal/Square Enix). It was set in the Mankind Divided universe. I was sitting on the floor in a dilapidated building, together with a group of augmented people. Presumably somewhere in the ghetto, or hiding from the government. Our "leader", or at least the alpha male of the group, was standing up in front of us. He was a real douche, and a loudmouth. He may or may not have been a terrorist. He was spewing hate speech, and at at some point, I had a disagreement with him. He got very hostile, and said I was banned from the group and had to leave. He said I wasn't really "one of them". I pointed out I had a synthetic implant in the back of my skull, connecting to my spine - but this was an implant I got as result of an injury - not a performance-enhancing aug. He said he knew, but it wasn't good enough. I spoke up so the whole group could hear it. I said that I would happily cut off my arm and replace it with a cybernetic one to prove my loyalty. The others started started speaking up, and I felt the atmosphere in the room change from silent obedience to outright rebellion. Our fight heated up, and I got in his face and yelled something. Feeling the crowd had turned against him, he slowly backed away and vanished.

Terrifying nightmare. I was in the garden of our old house. It was dark. I saw silhouettes in distance (it's a pretty big garden). I had enough of being afraid, and charged in - loudly screaming. But I hesitated. I came up with the excuse that maybe it wasn't necessary. I ran away again, but my fears manifested a creature that chased my out of the garden, onto the street. I looked back, and to my terror it was still chasing, coming straight for me. It was humanoid, but with unnaturally long arms. Like Slenderman, but not as tall and far scarier because it moved fast. So fast. The moment it was about to "get" me, I woke up in sheer terror.

I have notes of a "swamp", a "woman swimming", and "crocodiles". I remember none of it, except the crocodiles.

Dream took place in my old family home again. My phone buzzed in my pocket (allegedly, I remember nothing, these are old notes). My dad was upstairs. In the dream, I think he was installing (or had already installed) a fixed air conditioner unit. I could hear the annoying sound. In reality, it as my own crappy mobile AC that I was hearing, and the sound "leaked" into the dream in this form.

I think I was on a quay, I think. I came across my old colleagues from my previous previous previous job (Tankpark). We did not split on good terms. I greet them, they ignore me. I was like "okay then", and continued on my way.

We were in a garage-like space, dismantling a nuke. Notes tell me Xiaoxi (Chinese lady I know) was somehow involved, but I don't recall how. Heroes' Matt Parkman was there too (no surprise, I had seen actor Greg Grunberg in Star Trek: Beyond the evening before). At some point, Arthur Petrelli showed up and tried to stop us. I ignored him, saying he was dead. Suddenly, he turned out to be an older man called "Manny". I was supposed to know him from the past when he was younger, but didn't recogize him. He argued the world was in terrible shape, and asked us to stop. I convinced him it would only get worse if the nuke went off. We got ready to leave. Matt was interested in a fish bowl with some fish still in it, randomly laying around in the garage. He took it with him. We crawled under the garage door, which was half closed. I felt extremely tired, physically. So did the others, according to my notes. We find ourselves in what looks like an underground parking garage. In the distance, I see armed forced enter from several entrances. Guys in full SWAT gear. I am suspicious. We get on our knees as if to surrender, and I think to Parkman (he's a mind-reader) to get ready to get us out of here if things go wrong. Not sure how he would have done that. He can't teleport.

I remember having a conversation with Heroes character Mohinder Suresh. I noticed he looked younger than he should, so I assumed I was in the past.

I was sleeping (in a bed, obviously) in a room I didn't really recognize. At some point, my whole family walked by (mom, dad and possibly brother). They're standing by the window, looking outside. I join them, and see an airplane doing cool stunts. I want to grab my phone to take pictures, but to my anger I cannot find it!

I saw a speech of President Obama, on a grassy lawn somewhere (not the White House). He suddenly spoke a few sentences in French. Although he spoke slowly, his pronunciation was spot on. I was impressed.

I was with a couple of colleagues from the job I just got fired from. Our shift leader (Peter Bosmans) was with us. We were in a garage. The idea was, I think, to kill ourselves. I don't recall how. We'd kill each other one by one, with some kind of poisonous injection. I felt it was better to keep living, so I told them this. They didn't seem to have a problem with it, though I did think that if I was to survive, I would have to kill the last of them.

Long dream. I was in a company HQ of a biotech company. There was a zombie outbreak. There was a guy in front of me. He looked pale, and his skin somewhat slimy. He was still lucid/aware. As I feared, he could not contain it any loner and attacked me. I fled, down a ladder? I waited, and prepared my chainsaw. It was a rather small chainsaw but whatever. He popped up, and I chainsawed him. In another scene I was swimming in a dark, half submerged part of the building. I had to dodge mines. I did this by swimming over them so quickly, that the explosions came too late and I could get past unhurt. In another scene I witnessed another man trying to escape the building. He came running out of a room on fire (both him, and the room).
Later on, we found ourselves in a first-floor lobby. Large windows overlooked a sort of elevated yard with flowers and stuff, and then the plaza below, and the streets beyond. Reaching the main entrance below would require us to navigate more zombie-infested corridors, so I broke the window and wanted to escape by climbing down. In the yard, I saw a kid. He was dressed pretty poshly, and spoke in a British accent. He said it wasn't allowed to walk through the yard, and I think he wanted to ask his supervisor for permission. I ignored him, this was an emergency. We evacuated the building. On ground level, I walked with the others past the building and saw the company name: Ichor Therapeutics. This is a real company, lead by someone I know in reality. I doubted for a second. I felt like I had to go back in, as there were still many people lost and trapped inside the building.

There was caos in the streets. Women running everywhere. Mike & Meesha & I had to leave an apartment we were apparently living in. This strange dream continued in a second dream that I chained after my wbtb but lucidity still escaped me.

Meesha cat woke me up over & over. It seemed like every hour she was waking me up & it was really confusing my dreamscapes.

Astral Projection/AP-Brown/OOB

I was in a room full of computers. Aliens were invading outside. An alien tried to get inside through an open window. I closed it with force, hurting the creature as its hand/paw got stuck. It yelped in pain.

I ran through the building, which looked like a dilapidated garage or factory, possibly with my mother. The aliens were small-ish velociraptors (the previous breed looked far more humanoid), and by "small" I still mean a meter (3 feet) tall. One of the beasts bit my arm, and I was stuck for a moment. I managed to wiggle free, and noticed I wasn't really hurt.

Once outside, I noticed a lot of computers in a circular configuration. They looked like the consoles we used in the chemical plant where I used to work. I noticed animals from various species congregating near the consoles, and I followed. I understood that was Earth's "last stand", and that all Terrestrial species would stand together against the alien menace. Major figures were William Fichtner (I skimmed through my dream the day before, and read about an earlier dream in which he appeared - this clearly triggered his presence here), and Michelle Rodriguez (looking badass as usual).

First dream

It was a dark and unusually grim day. I was in my house, wondering if we're still friends with my best friend. I decided to leave my house. Suddenly I got teleported to an endless corridoor with doors on one side - I had a feeling that I'm in hell. Each door teleported me to different places, until I finally got to heart of darkness and destroyed evil. I grabbed everything that I could to good use except for one, most important thing.

Second dream

I was in some strange abandoned factory with some people. There were enormous reservoirs with some liquid fuel. We were closed down there and had to find a way out. Suddenly huge flames burst out of reservoirs. I had to find a way out before the whole place would explode. I decided to find a controll room that was buried under debris. I dug my way to the controll room, but there was nothing that I could use. I found a huge, humanoidal monster with gray skin and blue eyes instead. To defend myself I grabbed a chainsaw and tried to cut the monster, but it wasn't even scratched by it. With other people we escaped to an enormous ladder and tried to climb up one of reservoirs. Two people got up, I was almost there but monster smashed the ladder with great force. I grabbed edge of reservoir, but I haven't had enough strength to climb up. I asked for help, but no one wanted to help me.

Mission

Me and the other survivors were on a roof of a building, talking to some guys in CIA clothing about a mission. A guy asks "how many of you are there?"
This girl replies "12."
The CIA guy says "But there is only 12 of you."
Some guy replies "She graduated early."
Then we run into the building, it looks like a giant maze. The Mission you cannot get caught, this is my first attempt.
A Guard saw me, so I ran at him at broke his neck. Then I grab another guard as a body shield for some reason he isn't yelling for help. A Third Guard saw me so GAME OVER.
I respawn and get caught by the first guard this time without attacking him.
My Third Attempt: I get past the First Bodyguard and use Second Bodyguard as a bodyshield. That dream ended there.

Easter Egg

Me and 3 friends were doing some easteregg at this waterpark like map. We would have to go down water/normal slides, which each had some animal in the water slide. One had birds, one had Spiders and one had maggots.
After that we respawn at the beginning of the map, and we got one hour for meltdown. The map starts to break apart, green ooze which is probably deadly coming out of the ground, weird things come out of the ground that look like Valkyrie Drones from Gorod Krovi.
This one girl says "I'm out." she leaves so it's up for me and my 2 other friends to finish it which I'm assuming we fail because this next dream scene.
We go up the stairs, you can see things on the door which are silhouettes of animals which I remember two of them: Cat and Bird.
Once we reached upstairs we were in a music classroom, it looked like the one I had from my Elementary School and Middle School, combined. I talk to two of the three friends that we attempted the easter egg, I tell them "we should try it another time." I think the Easter Egg of that Waterpark map is a Four-man one.

Crazy Lady

I was in a Crazy Lady's house, she wouldn't let me leave.

AND HIS NAME WAS-

Homer and Marge Simpson was driving, they were listening to a song which was a Young Woman singing "John Cena~" over and over. That was the whole song, and dream that dream was 20 minutes long.

Weird dreams last night, I guess my streak of remembering dreams broke. See you tomorrow (maybe)
