non-lucid

This was a long one, and it is broken into two parts: Pre-cavern and post-cavern. I'll get to it.

Pre-Cavern

I do not have a solid opening or closing for this part as it was basically a massive amount of dream fragments, but I know their nature and beauty. The dreams were about myself, the american, collaborating with the humble Japanese on the design of a brand new aircraft, back in the beginning days of flight. The dreams had this beautiful quality to them of collaboration, where I would get tired of working, and then a small burst of inspiration from the Japanese would drive me to forge on and build, and in doing so I would grow and become loved.

Then I woke up, after a final dream where I built the plane, and even after waking up I lay in bed to thank the Japanese engineers and say goodbye to them in my post-sleep daydream. They responded. It was nice.


The Cavern

I returned to sleep, and found myself in a very different situation. I am in a dark cavern. The walls are only a few meters apart, and about 10 feet up is a silver cable made of pure light that runs from one end of the cavern to the other, about 50 feet. At each end of the cavern, a small blue portal the size of a rabbit sits silently, and in the center of the cable are two mounts attached to it, objects with foot long strings of light dangling off them, with cherry sized baubles at the end. I touched the baubles and they get excited, moving the mounts across the cable as if in perfect frictionless suspension. I grab both baubles and swing them ahead of me, which causes the mounts to glide ahead. They move faster than my walking speed so I just watch. They get to the end, hit the little portal, and come out the one at the other side. This excites them a bit and they speed up. The one in front slows down a bit, and when the one behind it hits theres a 'crack!' and the front one shoots forward to the portal, comes out behind and shoots the other one. In a matter of seconds, both of the bauble strings are travelling across the cable at the speed of sound, blurring together and passing through the portals many times a second. I realize now this is a powerful source of magic, so I resign to study it carefully using the patience the Japanese have taught me.


Post Cavern

I wake up suddenly. I'm in a dark bedroom so I go to the window and open it. I'm at a mansion in the woods, similar to the T-House but much larger. There is snow everywhere, and my dad is in the courtyard. Suddenly my brother comes in.
"You're awake." I am confused. Of course I'm awake. He tells me I've been sleeping for three days. I tell him about the cavern but he is confused. Suddenly my family is gone. I hear people talking so I go down near the courtyard. Three powrful beings are having a conversation in a room I'm next to, talking about how they've all come back from collecting powerful sources of magic and await my return. They speak of the cavern, they know I was there. They are going to use the power of all these magic places to kill everyone. I hide under the stairs, fuck those folks there is no way I'm joining them. I concentrate my hardest and manage to turn into a small animal, though I can't remember which. A cat comes by, which I know is another one of the magicians in disguise, and I act as a regular pet and cuddle with the cat. It is weird to know I am cuddling up with a dark wizard but I have him fooled. Then, someone says they will go kill my family and I perk up, losing my cover. They laugh, it was a trick to get me to come out of wherever I was hiding, they could sense I was near.

I talk to them for a while about the cavern, and eventually we are all in a room. The wizards are two men following a woman, who is pure evil. The men just like power. At one point they transform into Sasuke and Rick, and at that moment I turn on them. I open a portal from the place of the baubles and they come flying out of it at light speed, since they've been gaining speed this whole time. It vaporizes the men, so open a back portal and slide the bauble mounts back onto the light beam and push them, closing the portals and allowing them to go gain speed in that nameless place for another time.

At then end of the dream Anna showed up. I wanted to do something, say something, but the words would not come out. Those actions are reserved for reality.

Preface:

After a bunch of family drama on Saturday night, its only fitting that I should have some pleasant dream activity.

DR 1

I at a dinner party in a foreigner's house; a couple has invited me for dinner. It seems as if I am on vacation. The walls and floors are white, and the house has a calm color scheme. I go down a hall to the bathroom, but I never make it there. I am compelled to go outside.

I walk outside of the house to the parking garage. It seems I am in an apartment or townhouse community. I go to find my bike (motorcycle) and its parked next to another way cooler looking black motorcycle. I look to my right, and there is a handsome guy standing next to me. He is tall, with black hair and brown eyes. He has some facial hair, which I find sexy. He tells me that he was going to leave, but that I'm beautiful, so he wants to stay. I laugh because whatever he is saying sounds cheesy. I look down and I notice that I am wearing tight black fake leather pants and high heeled ankle boots. I keep kind of looking down, because I feel shy talking to him. I smile a lot and he invites me out. I'm about to get on his bike, but I remember that I left my purse inside. I tell him that I have to get it...I then say,"let's go" and he follows me back into the dinner party house.

The couple is pleasantly surprised when they see us enter and they show me where my purse is. They admit to me that they have gone through the purse in an attempt to try to contact me, and that they have seen that I have four tickets to the Kanye West show (they are obviously good seats because their eyes are gleaming). I tell them, "you know what? You can have all four because I hate Kanye West!"
The guy laughs. The couple gets so excited and thanks me. I leave with the guy.

Notes:
A guy for once! And a motorcycle! ( A wild side, I like it.)
Again with the color white, and relaxing surroundings.
Also the color black..last time it was my friend with the black mink coat and today its me with black pants.
Black shoes, which i hardly ever notice.
I do really hate Kanye. Not as a producer, but as anything else, including as being a human being.

Preface:
Bed at 1am. Lots of running around with my bff all day today. Very productive Saturday- we worked out a lot. I attended my niece's quinceañera, which had a lot of family drama. My bff has been in a lot of my dreams lately, because we've been spending a lot of waking time together.

DR 1
I am having a conversation with my mom in a new house. We have just moved in. My sister is on the floor getting comfortable, laying down and trying to take a nap. Her kids are running around, exploring, in the background. I tell my mom that I am pursuing a career in art. (?) She's kind of confused, and says I'm a B student in art. I tell her that there have always been people better than me in everything I did, but that none of that should stop me from doing what I want to do. She seems surprised that I have already discussed this with myself, and she agrees.
I begin to explain a project to my mom. One of my projects involves using myself as an installation, hanging from a tree. (?) I'm camouflaged like the tree, but I have large leaves painted on me that will glow in the dark at night and will match other leaves. Of course, in third person, I can see myself on the tree. As I am hanging I am telling my sister about it too, and I reveal to her that I have a crush on some celebrity and I'm secretly wishing he'll see it. (?)

DR 2
I am on a plane, sitting in first class. Everything is white- the seats the floor, the walls of the plane. Everything feels calm and relaxed. My best friend is doing big things and they are treating us like celebrities. I am writing a book. All of a sudden, my best friend touches my stomach as I'm stretched out in first
class. She tells me that its hard and that she needs to work out. I laugh and say something to the effect that I still need work. As I'm telling her about the book I am writing, a guy keeps darting back and forth behind her.

She is standing in front of the seats in the aisle ( I am stretched out on what seems like 2 reclining chairs) and she is wearing a black mink coat. She has full makeup on and earrings. Apparently, the guy darting back and forth behind her is a Fed Ex guy, which has to be around her all the time because she keeps having stuff delivered, and keeps having to sign for it. (?, lol) Someone asks her about so much spending - her husband has sent a message about and he's worried. She laughs it off and waves her hand, she's not worried at all. We continue talking.

Notes:
No clue about the art dream. Again obvious dream symbols, but presented in a completely different manner than usual.
No clue who my celebrity crush was!!!!!

Dog woke me up and I couldn't recall anything.

Dream
I remember it being day time, I was waiting for a bus or something outside near the main road. The area I was in isn't nearby and isn't the usual place I go to. I think there was a crowd of people in my way and I tried to wave the bus over and it pulled up, but it was quite far away... I had to run down the road to meet it. There's a lot more to this dream, but when I woke up I realized that I was really late for work and I had missed my ride in. So the morning was a scramble and I didn't get time to memorize the dream.

I'm a student in a canteen. Someone asked me if I had spent the night with someone else and I said 'No I'm well behaved'. Then we were walking to the first lesson (I think it was geography), I was carrying 2 books, and I realised I had the wrong ones. We walked into a building and I had to throw something away, the teacher was watching and looked a bit annoyed that I was veering off but was ok once he saw I was just going to the bin.
The classroom was at the top of a very tall steel framed structure, the staircase was spiral. The top was open to the air. We had to queue at the top, it was frighteningly high. We held the door open for the teacher, he had to step over a coat that someone had left. I ended up holding the door as everyone went in even though I had been first in the queue. 2 girls decided they were going over the edge they didn't feel well and weren't going to the class. It was really high, I could see mountains in the distance, I thought they were mad and helped lower them over the edge.

I was interested in traveling with the sangha next time they go to Tibet. Someone said that it's good to save around 3000 and that would cover most expenses. Lamala was sitting on a throne in the background as we discussed this.

I was in a survivor challenge where you had to start a boat & race it but in one heat I was having trouble starting it. My opponent looked like one person but felt like another so I became lucid at this point. I turned that person into my ex-girlfriend Gail! I've never turned someone into someone else like this. I was still trying to win but I tried to cheat & have my husband start the boat ahead of time & was disqualified. But then I had a funny thought like "hey, maybe I could sell this engine on ebay!"

Monsters & food
I'm playing some real life Pokemon-ish type game. There are some monsterlike creatures somewhere outside and I'm with them, along with my friend Jor. There's a certain one that you can't beat. What you need to do is put something on it that will dissolve it. The thing that you're supposed to put on it looks like some type of food. A bit later, my friend and I are actually cooking, though it's just two big pans standing outside in the sun. I started it and it looks delicious. Jor is doing the finishing touches, which makes me feel inadequate somehow. Eventually we're done. I start walking somewhere and a mental image forms of my Facebook page. My profile picture somehow has some text related to God in it. There's 4 words and they're written vertically. What the.. how?

Juice
I'm with my classmate Bos. We end up going to an apartment complex, where my friend Sander is sitting. I think it's supposed to be my birthday and Bos is taking pity with me, so he's spending time with me and getting my friend to spend time with me. I didn't even know these two knew each other and were friends. And here I was feeling sorry for Sander for not having a lot of friends. No need. The story changes a few times as Sander is Eric at some points. Eventually he disappears and now it's my deceased grandparents. My granddad is making orange juice for me. Somehow I feel a bit uncomfortable. Bos is more at ease with my grandparents than I am.

There was more to both dreams, I am certain of that. I just can't remember.

It begins in downtown san francisco. I was driving through the city in escape of my assailants, evil men from an unknown army. I found myself arriving at a Flea Market just outside the city, which is where this dream really takes place.

I got out of the car and immediately began hovering. This was one of those dreams, like so many from my past.

As I drifted through the market I checked out everything. There was food, pet rabbits and puppies, clothing, guns, lots of shit. I passed one girl who was quite beautiful but a bit too young, so I just made hard eye contact to throw her off then moved through the crowd, she went to follow me a bit to see if I was into her but I got distracted by the food. There was so much crispy chicken, but I looked away and when I turned back they were packing up, and I had no money anyway.

I wanted to know what was still available so I flew about 20 feet up and saw a section of the mens clothing shop that was uninhabited, as it went around a corner hidden by coats. I dove in and tried on some suits but they were extremely torn and ghetto so I went back out to the main market. There I saw a beautiful girl with a guy, but I just started talking to them both. She complimented me so I playfully hugged her and he was thrown off. Then I started flying around looking at stuff and they were flipping out asking how I did that. I said "I'll show you", put my arms around her and gently floated up. It was a beautiful moment. I stared into her eyes as I went to the ground and let her down, and then I waved goodbye to them and floated away to the woods. In the woods was a cliff, and at the top was massive old building built by the boy scouts in their early days, with a massive stone bridge connecting it across a ravine in the cliffs. There I found some friends, and we went exploring.

I was ambushed in the woods by the men I was fleeing in the beginning, and flew through the treetops to lose them. I could see them setting up snipers everywhere in the woods, guys with white helmets on. That was a dumb move as my friends and I corrdinated our rifles and sniped every white helmet in the head at the same moment. We went into the woods to grab all the rifles and burn their supplies. I went back to the market to find a place for the rifles. I put them down and saw the girl again, and I talked to her for a bit. There was a connection. Then I headed out to the woods to find more enemies. Instead I found the beginning of a massive forest fire I had caused by carelessly burning the supplies. It was going to take the forest and the boyscout mansion. I couldn't let it. And yet, suddenly Rob showed up and started talking to me about wing suiting, and I told him it was how I had gained my passion for flight and eventually my ability to fly at will. We relived old jumps off mountains and towers, and suddenly I snapped back to the present. I knew something had gone wrong while I was lost in my fantasies.

I went back to the market, and in there was a painting frame left by the girl. It was playing a video, an animated one that was about me. It was so colourful and beautiful and was saying how at first I appeared like this amazing person, a tall tower of a man, with a giant crown upon my roofed head. I was full of life and compassion, yet after the pretend and the ego had been stripped away by her, and my true colours were shown I was left as a small fool's tower, the height and brick stripped away. There was a crown on top of it still, yet no height to really see the world from, and no reason for the grandeur. She told me that I was not who I said I was, and that I was a little man with little problems, and she could not love me.

I think this is a beautiful message. To take off the crown and truly build the tower up, make myself a real substantial person and allow the praise to come.

My husband was seeing someone else. We were polyamorous but I was unhappy. He and a woman and some other friends went to comedy show without me. I was devastated.
Walking down street trying to get to apt 4 at night. Raining? My best friend from high school [C] was my roommate but moving back to Europe with a grant to write something. We never talked although we lived together.

I was at a class– Spelling? Woman with baby used buzzer instead if clapping for asking questions. My husband and his girlfriend were in class before me
I told his gf how unhappy I was after I talked to my husband and asked him if it had to be this way. No one cared about my feelings.

My dog was locked in a room. It had a glass window, like recording booth. I somehow got her out and she turned into a large grey spider. I wanted her to change back, so I held onto her. Someone else there saw her and recognized bug as a 'world burther.'

Thought I saw my husband in a red [unreadable] with a baby going, to a show in a crowd of people. I ran up and hugged him but it wasn't him.

A strange man told me to come to the show to watch out for my husband. I began thinking I might divorce him. I thought about asking my parents if I could move in with them. I thought about how I was a burden to my parents.

I fell asleep at 12am or at 11:30pm. Had a non lucid dream that was family related. Than I woke up like at 5am. Stayed up for a few minutes than went back to sleep. I was non lucid signing a paper to go into a tennis court with a boy I met. We still had some time left before classes. However, I became lucid and thought for a sec about what to do. My thoughts were immediately interrupted by some person pushing me into a fence though. I felt myself going through a portal and they tried pushing me to go in it by hitting.my butt. I was able to get around whoever it was but im not sure what happened next. After whatever happened occured I was on the bed relaxing and my younger brother came up to me showing me a kingdom of hearts birth by sleep game. Looking at a wallpaper of the game on the bed I saw Axel and thought about my dream characters. I than realized I was given another chance and was lucid. I wanted to call Eye and did, forgetting about the dhl mission. Guess I need to make it more important.But anyways when Eye came he hugged me but than ran. We were surrounded by a good amount of dream characters so I pondered if Dawn was in the crowd. I also thought about why he ran so I followed him to a room to ask him. I couldn't tell who or where he was but after calling out for him a baby spoke asking me to protect him. I picked the baby up and kept it close to me but than I woke up.

Woke up at 7am after that and tried for another lucid.It started off non lucid. I remember being inside a class that had a brown,purple and white color scheme. We were waiting for the teacher to arrive but than someone recalled that the English teacher said they were going to be absent Friday and Saturday because of a doctors appointment. We left the class feeling kind of disappointed we came to class for no reason. I stood on the balcony looking down at students fooling around and thought about how stupid one of the girl was acting. She was on the floor sitting next to a guy and looked like she was going to pull his pants off. I than walked away and as I was walking and thinking about stuff I became lucid. When I became lucid I looked around and saw the place I was in was a mesh of a dining room and school. What caught my eyes was the chandelier, the brown couches and the open windows that were bright and next to each other. I began to be pulled by something which reminded me of my old lucid dream where a character flew me somewhere. I decided to let it take me wherever it wanted to take me even though I wanted to see Dawn. But when it stopped I just kept on thinking of Dawn's presence.

Spoiler for ╚═། . ◯ o ◯ . །═╝Holy cow. Please don't read this kiss scene the dream gave me. (/- - o) *dies of embarrassment**dies again after rereading it* Anyways in short i found out you can actually be tickled in a lucid dream. ^^ Which is pretty cool.:

I felt him appearing next to me but couldn't really see him because it was bright.He than pushed me onto the couch and started kissing my neck but it sort of felt more like he was licking me. I started laughing uncontrollably. It was like someone was tickling my neck. I told him to stop but he just kept on doing it until it felt more like he was kissing it. When he stopped he turned me to look at him and said something but I couldn't hear him quite well. He than flipped me and sat me on his lap while some kids were playing a racing game.I looked at the t.v. feeling kind of surprised by what just happened.

I was once again in my old family house. There was an alien in the basement, and I knew it. The basement door was still closed, but I knew it was going to come out. I opened my camera app on my phone. I wanted to record it - footage of the "first encounter" would make me rich and famous. My mom came out the hallway, and I warned her to get out of the way, as the alien was coming. It burst out of the basement. It was dark green in color, almost spherical, and quite slimy. It had a few teeth in its wide mouth, but not very large ones - they didn't look too practical for eating meat. And eyes that were far too small for it's big, headless shape (it was basically just a fat green torso with no head). I thought it was scared, as it shrieked and rushed past me at great speed and, I think, disappeared into the garden - into the night. It covered me in goo as it flew past. I got some good footage, though! That night, I slept on some blankets on the floor, alone in the living room - close to the garden door. My mom slept upstairs. At some point, I noticed my cat (Fleurtje) was acting weird. She ignored me completely, and if I approached her, she hissed and attacked. She bit me in the finger at one point, and almost broke it! I had to struggle to get her off of me. I "knew" that the alien had bodysnatched my cat. Or had morphed into my cat, like the monster from "The Thing". Then, it was my other cat, Sylvester. I rushed upstairs to warn my mother. To my amazement, even that incident wasn't enough to convince me to sleep upstairs.

The camera moved through a wide corridor or tunnel, and showed a lot of Marvel superheroes fighting out a massive free-for-all battle. They looked a little generic, with cheap costumes. Clearly stand-ins. I thought to myself that the rest of the franchise would be full of retcons, as they couldn't possibly stick to these cheap looking actors and costumes. Anyway, I was now standing by one of the heroes, clearly a main character. We were confronted by another, who had yellow glowy eyes that either drove you mad if you looked into them, or just killed you. Fortunately, my buddy revealed that he was blind. He had these (also almost glowy), milky-white eyes. I was more interested in my surrounding world. I saw the skyline of the city. Extremely modern, almost futuristic-looking skyscrapers. Massive flags hung by their sides, some red, some blue. The red flags looked like the German flag during World War 2, but with the Canadian Maple Leaf logo instead of the German cross. The blue flags had a star I think. I figured this was Canada, either in the future, or in another universe (or both). I yelled to the heroes that I suspected Canada had become Nazi.

There were a lot of events in this dream universe preceding these events. The general plot was this: the world was at war with aliens, creatures resembling the Necromorphs from Dead Space (perhaps the same bastards I encountered in my first dream?). The war was not going well at all. To make matters even more weird, time was bent "onto itself", and our war in 2016 was now happening at the same time as World War 2. The future and past had been merged. I was in conversation with two high-ranking individuals of the US military. One looked like actor Zeljko Ivanek (Blake Sterling in The Event, Danko in Heroes), the other was a taller man with short, light-grey hair. Both generals, probably - judging by their uniforms. Ivanek told me we were to avoid interfering with the events of World War 2 as much as possible. He asked if I remembered a previous operation, in which operatives came in contact with people and events from that war. I said yes. He handed me an envelope, containing what I think was an item (an old fashioned skeleton key?). Inscribed on it was a date relating to a historic event of the war. Ivanek said that after the mission, the date had changed - implying that the operatives had accidentally changed the timing of a major event of that war. I noticed Ivanek's skin was a strange tone of green. Anyhow, I think we were on an important mission, possible a last ditch effort to end the war against the aliens in our favor. I remember clumsily climbing through a window to get outside and link up with the others (?).

>A woman (Caucasian, maybe around the age of 30; she had dark brown hair and IMO was a bit fat but far far off from clinically obese) was talking about keys and something else my Maternal Grandmother had. This woman said something about these possessions similar to "they nearly fell over" (off a table) and was talking about burying the possessions with the ashes?! She gave an explanation to why. I felt disturbed when she said this as it meant we'd have to dig up the grave so I didn't agree to it.

Later in this same dream with someone else standing near me in the building (My Father, I think) the same woman (who is not my Mother) was outside a window talking to me and I saw a white pickup truck in the street some distance away on the other side of the parking lot. I told her to come in immediately and told her not to question me; I felt as if these men in the truck were coming to beat us and maybe steal something. I said to get vinegar, to spray in their eyes.

I woke up.

Vague memories of a big fight in a big yard, just me (and someone else, I think a woman) against hordes of enemies storming at us from across the yard. I probably had a suitably big gun for the job. At some point, we retreated across several yards we'd already cleared. The next part is very hard to explain. There some kind of concrete casket against the right wall one of those yards, containing an artifact of some kind. A blue skull? It was the key to some secret, that much I knew. There was a lot happening before this part of the dream, all forgotten. One name lingers: perhaps this was my character, maybe not: Leonidas.

I re-entered lala-land when I decided I was still tired. I was with a brunette girl in a house. Perhaps the kitchen. She was a bit younger than me, but still "legal". I think we tried having sex there and then, but ultimately we decided we'd much rather make out. Now, in real life I'm a total, grade-A loser who has never kissed a girl before - never even gotten close, so this bit was fun. The kiss was the most amazing thing ever. She tasted neutral, a bit sweet perhaps, not at all repulsive as I had feared IRL. Our tongues swirled around each other. It was awesome. I tried closing my eyes, but somehow it didn't feel as good as it did when I could see her. I remember seeing her face briefly, messy, long brown hair obscuring her left eye. Her other half closed in ecstasy, looking at me. I woke up, probably because I opened/closed my eyes.
