non-lucid

I can't quite remember where the dream starts, other than that I was leaving work and heading back home. My roommate was in the car with me as we navigated through winding roads and across hills. We happened to drive up a hill to meet with my parents. They had just purchased a house in a close-knit neighborhood surrounded by pueblo houses. The neighbors were out and about, talking with each other when I looked at the base of the mountain and saw black billowing clouds contrasting against the sunset. One of the neighbors walked up to me and explained that this was going to be the biggest storm yet and everyone was preparing for it.

Nighttime was approaching, and the clouds stopped moving towards us and settled down into base of the mountain. I rushed with my roommate back into the main town, where the close alleyways didn't permit us to drive far. We went into a rundown bar to try to hide from the coming storm, but it was already packed, and we wanted a place to ourselves - since most popular hiding spots were charging a fee. As we traveled down some stairs outside, we found an old abandoned cleaning closet that also housed some piping. Nobody was in there, so that's where we hid, and right when the storm approached too.

Before I could see any action, however, I immediately woke up.

Movie time
I'm chilling on the ground with my old friend Liddy and someone else. At one point it's a white guy. At another moment it's a white girl. Somewhere early in the dream, Liddy is lying flat on her back on the ground and starts to yawn. I think about putting my finger in her mouth as a joke, but decide against it. I'm eventually sitting with my back against the wall, or something else that is giving me support for my back. I'm watching a movie on the screen that's behind/above the two of them. They are watching the same movie on the screen behind/above me. I am way more focused on this movie than they are though.

Ronaldo
I'm spectating. Cristiano Ronaldo is present, as well as a player for the French team. They're in a warung, just outside my dormitory. Apparently they got into a fight. Ronaldo was in the warung with some others and quite drunk. He started making teasing comments to the French player about having won. The situation turned into a fight. My spectating starts after the fight. The ref is measuring the size of a building / the field by jumping through a window among others. In the dream I'm also surprised that he would feel the need to measure the field and what not, to determine what the repercussion will be.


Is it very obvious that I watched the game?

D1 - In a large house with sprawling corridors, like a hotel, all is dark. My daughter is a baby in her bed. I go to check on her and the scene suddenly changes to very tense. I find a giant rat, its head is bigger than mine, about twice the size and its is about to bite my throat. It is looking at me and I am willing it not to attack. I notice that in the doorway, there are horrible spidery grubbs that are clustered there, some dropping down. I pull a large blade out of nowhere and am hesitating whether to stab the rat which is poised to attack. We are eyeball to eyeball.

D2 - Helping someone to write a document on computer, I give them the correct filename it is 16 digits long, lol, a code. There are a series of many documents with a similar code that need to be entered?

D3 - I am in a horrible appartment, with a sofa in the kitchen area. There is a cover thrown over it as someone has been sleeping on it.
A large burly man with a bald head, is after me for something, not sure might be debts. I run out of kitchen and down a corridor. The corridor has a zillion identical looking doors. I take the one on the end and hide in there and find a large mallet with a long handle. I lay in wait for the man.

I was finishing up a day of work in a very tall skyscraper. It was getting late and there was a storm, I could see lightening flashing in the dark night sky out of the giant windows of the large room I was working in. The building was swaying. I was rushing to complete my work and get out of the building, but also interacting with old friends who were around. I think I got to the bottom of the building and stayed inside. It was sunny and daytime there, although we were inside there were still giant windows that you could see out of. Many friendly interactions that I have forgotten the details of with two old friends.

Bear chained to a tree and someone was chaining a dog (my dog?) next to it. I wondered why they would do that, it seemed very dangerous.

Thoughts:
I suppose the part about the storm at the top symbolizes anxiety around getting work done, or finding more work. Making my way to to 'bottom' seems almost like regression. These were 'old' friends, and I went down instead of up. Maybe my past feels safer to me, and I miss that safety? The bear chained to a fence seems really symbolic. The bear was no threat being chained to a fence, it was 'under control' but not completely gone. Putting something vulnerable that I care about like a dog near it is dangerous. Am I doing something that is putting myself or loved ones at risk unnecessarily?

I entered a building looking for a toilet. Almost went into the ladies toilet, looked next door but that was also a ladies. Started walking down a corridor, said hello to a black cat, walked down a corridor and there were lots of children's paintings on the walls and I relaised it was a primary school and thought that my children's school was much nicer.

I got to a door with a guard on it, he said I looked like I needed to go past an opened it up for me, I saw a children's gynmastics class to my right as a passed and realised that was why there was a guard on the door. A man with a child in a pushchair walked past me and I remembered my children when they were that young.

I went through another door. There was a rehearsal going on in the end of the room. I walked quietly to the other end and met someone from university and we talked, she was complaining about someone who was being dificult in the rehearsal and told me the play was called 'Bread', it was a musical. I tried to carry on walking but I had reached a dead end.

I recall that I was tidying my room. It was a dark and cold day, and I've tidied the room only slightly as it wasn't that messy. My sisters were hurrying somewhere so that's why I was tidying the room. I found a teddy lion and placed it on top of a shelf, where already two such lions were placed and put it behind them. Then I thought "Always behind, in the shadows."

Flirt
I'm in a train or bus with two friends, one guy and one girl, both white. There are more people there, but none that we are acquainted with. The guy and girl are having a seemingly friendly conversation, but I know that he is interested in her. I think they are talking in Dutch. Either the guy or I has a laptop on his lap. I think it's the guy at first. The girl exits at what is to me an unexpected place (Almere). I figured she would be going to Groningen. That just cut the conversation short by an hour. The guy goes after her, towards the exit, to ask for her number. In the mean time I find a different place to sit. Suddenly the bus/train is full of wannabe actors. One girl to my left seems to be memorising a script. Another girl all the way to the left is reading it out loud. That's quite obnoxious. I'm trying to concentrate on my thesis, so it's quite annoying.

I'm outside on a big street with the guy. I ask him how it went. He tells me it went horrible. He got her email so that he can ask for her number. I tell him I've been there and it's shit. At that moment a blonde girl enters the street from a building. It's the girl I was referring to when I said that. Right? Some guy meanwhile mentions that he got a number that connected to an online disposable service, where he could talk to the girl. The first guy gets out his laptop and before long he's chatting with the girl through email.

Newbie
I'm talking to a girl I've just met. We're in my city in Indonesia, close to the university. I'm explaining some basic things to her about how to get things done around here. There's a guy with us and at some moments, one of the staff members from the international desk is there as well.

Adult Twix

Spoiler for No really, adult stuff:

I had a strange dream about a Twix commercial. It was definitely not a child friendly ad. It was already late at night, so I figured that was why, but I was still surprised. There was a woman who wasn't wearing pants. She was upside down, a bit similar to doing a handstand. She somehow was balancing a single twix on her privates. I didn't get a look at that and was later also wondering how she managed to do that. I figured she had probably inserted it. The voice over also talked in an adult manner. He was making this sound like a game. There's the twix and a group of guys and everyone takes turns to take a bit off the twix. If you're the one who has reached the end... well then you have to finish the job.

I blame this on the guy at the bar yesterday who went around asking everyone how to say 'nice pussy' in their own language

Invasion
I'm in my room in Indonesia. I have a swiffer type of broom and am cleaning my room. Holy shit, there's a whole line of ants just invading my room. Also, there's a dead wasp or something similarly big on the ground. But.. I didn't kill that thing. I didn't even see it inside. What happened here? I start sweeping the place up.

I didn't get much sleep. Had to get up & go move my mother n law into an Assisted Living Home cuz her dementia is so bad. So I had a vague non-lucid but l had to get around quickly & didn't have time to write it down.

On a brighter strange note. Yesterday I forgot to mention something due to time. I woke up to go pee in the middle of the night & was standing in the doorway of my bathroom & I felt vibrations & heard the whirl & saw my arms. My astral arms & my regular arms. I was just stopped in the doorway kind of taken a back by it. This has never happened before while just walking through my house & i was just kind of in awe of it. I knew I needed sleep cuz of so much going on so I just went back to bed when the experience ended after about 2 minutes.....

Strangely enough it may have to do w/ a weird visual thing I've been doing lately. See, I've been building this dream house in my head for years just to fall asleep until a couple of weeks ago when I started doing it again but now I find myself subconsciously doing it at other times. I'll be reading & comprehending my book but my mind is building my house & I go a couple of paragraphs & think, man this is weird. Then I realized I was doing it while just walking through my house just out of the blue. Kind of like daydreaming or something but I'm still doing whatever task. It's like I've trained my brain to multitask this one thing because I'm always tweaking details to my house.

Dream 1: I was travelling to my uncle's house for a party there. On the way I passed an old, derelict house where my dad supposedly used to live back at university. I got to my uncle's house and went through the cleaned up garage to the living room. There was food and balloons everywhere and the party started in earnest.

Dream 2: I was in a line going through airport security. I think I was travelling to a tropical island of some kind and I had to go through a check that I didn't have any guns on me or anything.

Dream 3: I was casting a game of pro Dota. It was a LAN tournament in a house so the two teams were set up on either side of a room with us in the middle. Before the game I listened to one team captain and therefore accurately predicted their draft, knowing they would pick Phoenix, Faceless Void and Rubick (I think). The other team however picked a seemingly random draft that I couldn't really understand. As soon as the game started however that team started pushing down mid lane and were suddenly taking barracks. The first team tried to stop them but the other team's teamfight was too strong and they wiped them a couple of times. They took two lanes of barracks before the first team surrendered. My co caster was stunned, the game had ended in 5 minutes, the fastest ever. I too was flabbergasted but recognised that the other team ha actually had a very clear and clever strategy.

Dream 4: I was going to a voting booth with a friend for an election. We got there just in time but I lost my friend inside and I couldn't find where to vote properly. I accidentally stumbled into a counting room, and when they found me in there they got angry, shooed me out and began counting all the votes again. I eventually found the right place and looked at a political cartoon in a newspaper.

Fragment: Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban.

Dream 1: I was running in an election against some imposters. I think there was something about crows.

Dream 2: I had a big fight with a boss in a tower in w101. After I defeated him I left but forgot about the loot so I broke back in to the tower and took it. I went to a market and a woman there offered me a quest to learn the sabretooth spell and some additional gear, which I started.

Dream 3: I was in high school and was part of a Chinese class. Because we were so small we were in the same room as an economics class. The teacher gave me something to read and then answer some questions about. The economics class people were looking at me funnily as they didn't know if I studied Chinese or not.

Dream 4: I was with my mum at her new house and we were testing out all of the keys and roller doors and stuff like that.

Dream 5: I was discussing singing and music theory with a few other people, particularly in relation to heavy metal.

7/7/16
Dream 1: I was at a school gym or something and a guy got me into a headlock. I was pretty pissed because he threw my back out. I tried to get him punished by the department but they didn't do anything.

Dream 2: I was going to see a movie with my dad and we went to a subway first to get some food. We could make our own stuff and I got a thing with steak, cheese and bacon.

Dream 3: I was at my old primary school where some kids were playing bat tennis. I watched them for a bit and then went into an office. Someone in there told me that Sargon had gotten into a big argument with some SJW scholar and I started watching them duke it out.

Dream 4: It was the final game in a Dota championship and XBOCT and Funnik's team somehow escaped a trap and won by rolling out with all 5. It was complicated but it went into slow motion as it happened and I heard Tobi screaming out "Heeee goooot theeeeem oooouuuuutttttt!!!".

6/7/16
Dream 1: I was voting in a British election which was about some weird positions over things. There was a big swing towards Labor and there were concerns over the legitimacy of the election. After I voted I had pizza for dinner.

Dream 2: I was in an underground train station where I was held up by two policeman. They searched my stuff and found a small container of gold which had some kind of drug in the bottom. They then used a Taser on me, which subdued me but I remember it didn't hurt very much and I recovered to my feet quickly. After I explained how I had no idea how the drug came to be there I was released.

Fragment: A woman was dancing.

What a dream. Long, detailed, vivid, and fun. The best kind. It all begins with me, Simon, and Anna driving into the city in a car. We are downtown, and I realize that the building from my balloon boy dream is right next to us! I point it out to Anna with Simon's help, and then we drive by, off to some event. When we get there I lost interest quickly and went to find my car. I was going to take an uber, but when I checked the app I realized that my personal car had been parked and marked by uper. I get to it and lose my mind. It's a bright orange Honda S2000. I get in and rip it around hte neighborhood having way too much fun. I then get to the place I'm staying and go in. Inside is Steph and smoe friend of hers hooking up with some dude. I join in, but Steph tries to leave so her friend and I ditch her first. Then I woke up. I get back to sleep and I'm in a different part of town. I check uber and find my car has been moved again for some reason. I notice that every time my car is parked it is next to a supercar that is the same colour. I get in the S2000 and drive back home. There I find Anna and Simon chilling and Amanda with her boyfriend. Amanda is in a pink bikini and it's driving me mad. I head to the basement to collect my thoughts, and then I wake up again.

This time when I go back to sleep the dream is different. I am downtown on the sidewalk and I realize I'm in a video game. I am playing with Chris and Seth, and we see a group of Santas walking away from a plaza. I walk over there to find the source and see something amazing. It's an Easter egg, where Newman, Stu, and Santa Claus are having a conversation about the Jews. After watching them in awe we went around the corner and saw a group of kids. There were some babes and some people we knew, but over time more and more gangsters filled in the crowd and more good people left. I was leaning against a tree when a dude wearing a pretty cool camo jacket walked by and stared at me. I said nice jacket, and he laughed and I realized I was wearing a camo jacket too. He walked over to his ghetto friends. There was one dude in a white long sleeve that was trying to act hard and intimidate people so I just kept staring at him and he was pissed. I went to go talk to chris, but I slipped on an embankment knocked that dudes arm. It was the perfect excuse. He grabbed me and showed me to his friends. I was so pissed at him for being a shithole but I just walked away. Unfortunately I walked left around the corner and then decided to go the other way to find my car, and when I walked by again they saw I came back and I stared right at that guy with a "fuck you" face. Two of his goons started chasing me. I did some parkour and climbed a house onto a tall chainlink fence, and while balancing on top I started rapping about how these guys were trying to fight me when we should be friends. They got even more pissed, and then my alarm went off.

My husband and I were on a vacation together, staying in a hotel that had a creepy manger. He was our age or older, and had a thick head of bushy brown hair and giant dark piercing eyes.
He was acting inappropriately towards me, in a very threatening way when no one else could see.
At one point I had to go back into the room with a key, to get additional clothing, headphones or earbuds, and [my?] wallet and the creepy manager was there, and I couldn’t find all of the things I needed before I felt like I needed to escape.

It was hazy and darkish and I was walking down a small alley/road with my dog and saw I saw another dog behind a fence that looked like her only a different color. I knew they had once known each other, or were siblings, and I wondered if they recognized each other; they seemed to.

My husband, creepy manger, one other guy and I were sitting on lawn chairs facing the ocean
It was sunny and warm
We were watching strange crustaceans and cuttlefish on shore, interacting with one another.
At first just one, but then all, began changing colors. Beautiful iridescent sparkling colors that faded into one another. I became lucid when I thought about how strange it was. The dream quality diminished instead of enhancing. The background with the animals froze, and things were dimmer all around. The people around me were still talking. I felt hesitant to fly or do anything too intense because it felt like I was about to wake up. I tried to interact with one and soon either woke up or lost lucidity.

I was driving a car with my brother in the passenger seat. The car started sputtering, and my brother gave me a look that said this happens all the time.
I pulled over near someones house and parked haphazardly.
People came out of the house an accused me of ruining some of their lawn ornaments. I apologized, and a younger woman asked me if I wanted coffee or tea or anything.

Thoughts:
The hotel part is similar to another dream Ive had recently—having to go back into the hotel rom with a key to get additional items while trying to avoid/not trusting the manger. Hmm. I need things, from an area that is supervised by someone I don't trust. I'll have to think more on this. Im not sure what ocean animals signify...perhaps deep-seated memories or creative ideas? And finally, I am in the drivers seat, although my car breaks down. Of course. I don't feel like the best example for my younger brother perhaps?

I was in my old school, went down to cloakroom, left my jacket and then changed my shoes. I met there a dark haired girl from my class. We talked for a while about plans for this day, them left the cloakroom. I took a seat at a bench in front of an entrance, the girl went through a hallway and disappeared. I was sitting there for a long while, students passing by. There weren't much of them, I knew that half of school's students are absent. After a while of sitting I decided to go to the cloakroom and leave. I met that girl again and we both took out stuff from cloakroom and headed to entrance. On the way we saw students coming to school, they told us that every student needs to go for some kind of commission. I decided to leave the school using back entrance.

I left the school and found myself in my house. It was dark, I was moving some small objects of strange properties, then I took a coffin with what seemed to be an ancient vampire. I left the room and went outside. I was standing at the entryway, watching the rain.
