non-lucid

8/6/16 (Chain posting a week of dreams cause of laziness ftw)
Dream 1: I was at McDonalds and ordered this brand new Ramen and Egg burger. It was quite small circumference wise but very tall and quite delicious. I then went into a building and down an elevator into a lazer tag type place with a friend.

Dream 2: I was on a sort of adventure with some rogue types. I think some sort of drug was involved. I was in a sort of tower to find a gem stone of some kind.

Dream 3: I was helping a couple of girls that I know with making a spaghetti bridge. It was a bit crooked and I suggestsed using magnets to straighten it out, well one of the girls came up with it which I acknowledged when she pointed it out and apologised. The other girl wondered if she could Strap it to her chest but I thought that wouldn't work due to her large er.. chest.

My friend had a very old dog, a wiener, and he was talking to me about him. He said that it had been around right before the 90s ever hit, and when they did it was supposed to have "meant something" because the dog was meant to be alive in the 90s? In the dream, I guess having that dog was a lot like having a video game, and that's how he treated it. I remember that he acted as if though the doggy was connected to Friends.

He got it into his head that he wanted to get his old dog out and have a spin on it, and so he went and found it and brought it back outside. He handed the dog to me and I did my best. He was skeptical as we first began our walk, and I suppose he had a reason to because almost immediately I did something that nearly hurt the dog, or "messed" the dog up.

So Jasper then wanted to tie his pet up--and somehow that was going to let him walk with us? apparently. He was trying to hold the dog and his dog house on one end, and I was holding the rope (that was already connected to his pet) on the other end. For some reason I had to keep swinging the rope and I had to get the dog to jump through it, but it was a very hard thing to do. I also had to do the same thing to myself, and I remember waiting until the word "Gemini" popped into my head before I jumped. I missed.

That's when he stopped me and told me that some random man he had never even met before had started talking about my dad, and how he had died. It was something about how when he had fallen, the entire bed had lifted into the air (it's not how you're picturing it: imagine you're sitting on one end of a wobbly bed, and the further you get to the end, the opposing end rises due to your weight). I didn't understand how the man Jasper was talking about could have known that, nor what he was talking about in the first place, nor why it mattered, but it definitely mattered to Jasper. He said that "of course he believed me over some dude he had never even met," and he kept acting as if though this was something that I needed to watch out for, and that if I wasn't careful with the jumping-into-the-rope then I was going to die like my dad did, or I was going to accidentally hurt the animal as well. I was completely confused!

Bed: 23.00, at which point I meditated.
Wake up: 06.30, took notes.
Now: 07.00

Money
I'm somewhere in a building, shamelessly scratching my balls with my right hand. I've got a sensation of touch. Next thing I wipe my hand. Not that it's gonna do me much good when I meet a person and that person will shake my hand. I'm in the building to get myself a military ID, I think for Indonesia's military. That or I get send away with the statement that I require a military ID. I think it was the second option. The building doubles as a bus terminal. A guy takes me with him to another guy, who is a bus driver. The driver is illegally giving the gps coordinates of the bus to the mafia. The mafia wants John something to be safe at all times. Next thing, I'm in a car, outside. We're driving and the police show up. There's something to do with a bag of money.

Possible influences
- I went to a bus terminal yesterday that doubled as an office for a government agency.
- There was a news article yesterday of people handing out cash in a traffic jam.


Back
I'm in a house with my old housemates, Karen and Bart. Bart is doing his dishes. I'm joining Karen in her room. Holy damn, there are so many plants in here. She's growing weed. Bart walks by without talking to me.

Non-lucid by vivid. I was part of a team of detectives investigating something that seems like a murder but there was no body or anything. It was like the dream started after the fact. I was with this woman with short blond hair which for me is strange. I can actually remember what she looks like even now. I've never seen her before in real life but she was crystal clear in my dream. We are outside in the eating area of a restaurant which seems to also be off of a square or something because there are many other places just paces away with other outdoor eating areas. We are questioning people & trying to find out who saw what etc. Again this place in itself was very clear to me. Then I woke up prematurely because I was having a bad reaction to something I ate in real life, lol


I recently have talked about all these houses in my dreams & I thought it may be my subconscious bleeding over into my dreams of hating the house I live in & have to wait until I pay it off before I can move. But last night I started analyzing this house subject. For years I would go to sleep & construct this dream house of mine. It's a house I started building years ago almost trying to will it into existence. It was the house I would build if I won the lottery. Anyway, for some reason I stopped building it when I made lucid dreaming an actual lifestyle choice. So last night I started again & my dream that I had was much more visible.

Ok, I finished reading a fiction book called "Lucid" by Adrienne Stoltz & Ron Bass. I enjoyed the beginning of the book & thought it had potential but it turned out to be a book that would have been better represented in movie form & left you hanging in the end. It also did not explain lucid dreaming other than a couple of sentences which was an insult to those of us who actually have lucid dreams.


I did start another fiction book, also called "Lucid" but is by Jay Bonansinga. It seems to be a whole lot better. They have tried to explain it in more detail. Therefore, I have higher hopes for this book.


On a separate subject. I have had a crazy amount of sychronicities lately.

I'm sitting in a small restaurant/bar at a table near the entrance. It's a table that seats about 6 or 7 people. I know the people I'm sitting with but I can't really see their faces. I'm looking towards the entrance and watching people pass by. It looks like I'm at a place inside the Circus Circus hotel. My attention is drawn back to the table and I notice that a female server has come to take our order. She leaves after the order was taken, but I can't remember actually saying anything to her. She comes back a few minutes later with food and drinks. I notice that she is really rude to me and keeps giving me dirty looks. I ignore it and look at the food in front of me. It's there but I can't really see it. It's not important. I do see the drink I was given. It's in a take-out cup with a lid and straw and it's really small, like a child's sized drink. I don't say anything about it but I'm not happy about it. As everyone finishes their food, we start getting up to leave. The same female server comes up to me and tries to snatch my drink out of my hands, I keep it away from her and say that I'm not done and I want a refill. She's gives me the dirtiest look and says that they don't do refills. I get angry and tell her to get a manager. She stomps away and a large, ugly man walks up to me. I calmly ask him for a refill since the cups are so small. He repeats that they don't do refills and starts walking away. I get really angry and cuss him out, throwing the cup away and going to the counter to pay. When I get there, Jongin is smiling at me. A man comes up next to me to pay and I know I'm with him, but I can't see his face. I can only smile shyly at Jongin. After the man pays, he grabs my arm and leads me away. I keep looking back at Jongin, and every time I look back, he's looking at me. I'm finally outside of the bar. I walk off to the side by myself, the man I'm with having gone to prepare something. Suddenly I look up and Jongin is in front of me smiling. I smile back and he asks why there's a huge canopy bed being set up near us. I laugh a bit dryly and say that that man is probably expecting something from me. He becomes serious and says that we should go. I look up at him and smile. He grabs my hand and we leave together.

Took a long, 5 hr nap after work, then bedtime around 2am.

DR
Really long and detailed, with some thinking in it. Wrote some keywords and now that's pretty much all I remember.

We are in some large, castle like building with big stairs and rooms. I was hacking with my huge machete at some solid matter, that was left from an alien who transformed into that. It wasn't easy, an pieces were flying off of it. It was similar to a wooden brick.

The aliens just beat us and they are leaving. We are waiting patiently for them to leave through the door, while we lay on the ground or hide. One of them turns back, looks at the person laying at the bottom of the stairs and says to the other alien, that he is dead or not dangerous anymore. I realize that it's me, even though I'm looking at it from 3.person view. Apparently I have just shed my true appearance and I don't appear to the aliens as a thread.

After they leave, we run down the hill at night and try to stop a car on the road, but we are also careful not to flag down enemies. Then the notice POLICE on the car and wave at them. They pass us, then they stop and 2 man have FBI on their windbreakers. We ar releaved that they will help us.

We tell them we need to go to hardware store to get more machetes, axes and big knives, because the ones we have are more like movie props. And we show them some swords that are made of shiny bendy plastic like thing.

A friend (I think they were just a dream character, but they might have been Taylor) and I had skipped the past two days in one of our college classes. We were heading there then, and she had a drawing that she had done; it had a whole lot of purple in it, and I think that her hair was purple as well. Before we got to the class one of our classmates caught us and told us that the professor had been wondering where we had been. He had made jokes about where his "girlfriend" was (that was my friend) on the first day, and then on the second day when we were gone he actually started to get worried.

D1 - In a large dinning area with lots of tables with white cloth on with a few people around. The hall was L-shaped with double doors at one end. All the food seemed to be horrible seafood, grey looking creatures. My daughter and I didn't know what to do as they're was nothing palatable to eat. Feeling nausea

D2 - In an apartment feeling calm and peaceful, a warm feeling of tranquility washing over me. There are square windows without frames, it looks like a place I used to live. It is early morning but I am not rushing, I am laughing about something with a friend.
I lay in bed and look at an ipad, it has a function to encode the video I am watching from Irish to English, I laugh at the absuditiy of it, as the people only had a sligh accent LOL.



[comment]
I realise I haven't felt like I have a home for a long time. Not having anywhere to call home is not a nice feeling, hence the nausea.

Wellp, I'm back. Again. Yeah, I feel really bad that I've been gone for so long! I've finally decided to try to get back into LDing. It's funny, because, the other night, I was looking at HowToLucid because I just randomly wanted to get back into the subject. The next day, one of my really good friends asked me if I'd hears of Lucid dreaming and then we talked about it for the rest of the day ^^

Aaaaannnyways, I actually recorded my dream!
Here it is!

6~14~16
My dad and I went to a school. For some reason we felt like attacking random people, and I ended up doing it. With a.... marker...? Yeah, I thought that was strange, too. But, anyways, I 'attacked' about a dozen people with an Expo Dry Erase marker. I remember attacking an older girl who I recognize from WL, and have always wanted to befriend. I felt really sorry. I also remember that, in that dream, I explored town and traveled on a public bus. Later, the dream shifted into an almost post-apocalyptic setting. I remember having to hide from my math teacher so I could steal resources/weapons from her. I collected quite a few weapons, and I stored them in a Resident Evil 4 style inventory, where I 'tetrised' things around (although I only remember storing a random sniper rifle). Then I think I woke up and attempted a WILD, but drifted into a nonlucid dream. In this dream, I remember running a shop. Well, it wasn't much of a shop, but I was in one of those barber shop-type buildings. A whole bunch of kids from my school (more specifically, boys) came in and out of the building but literally all they did was sit down. I remember recognizing a guy I share all my classes with IWL. The only thing I really did was wipe off the doorknob, but for some reason it had the same feeling as my previous dreams.

I'm in what I guess is supposed to be Amsterdam, though it doesn't resemble reality at all. I'm somewhere underground with a group of people. It is some kind of excursion. To what seems to be the north is a long, steep road, with a significant amount of water running down from it, as it seems to be currently raining. Because the road is made of asphalt, the water cannot permeate the surface. Somewhere at the end of the road, at the low level, the ground is natural soil, which is soaking up all the water and actually starting to flood. We have nowhere we can go, as we're underground. There is one small square building, not even 2 x 2 metres. The room has a ladder in it, going straight up. I decide to check it out, to see if we can exit from there. At the top is a window through which we'll have to exit, after which we have to exit through another window. They're both very small though. I tell the person in charge that we may be able to exit, but that either a smaller person will have to check it out since I'm too big to fit, or that I will have to break both windows. I have an idea how to prevent floods in the future: trees. The road needs a lot of trees. They will stop the water from running off and will soak it up. The asphalt will have to be removed though.

I was preparing for my vocation exam and then got into a car with my pal and my sister. They have packed back of the car with random stuff. I started driving my car but it felt weird. I realised that it's not my car but rather my another sister's car. I adjusted my seat and drove onward. It was really dark, but I could see buildings and road as if it was bright day - they were surrounded by darkness.

Suddenly I found myself in my school, in front of a classroom where exam would take place. I met many people that I haven't talked with for a long time. A teacher appeared - woman, long dark hair, wearing a gray suit - and told us that it's time for first group to enter. I wasn't signed to that group so I had to wait with few other people. We were waiting and waiting, and the exam didn't ended for their group so we all went out for some time. Then another teacher - a skinny, black haired woman in early forties - appeared and started shouting at us, telling us to get back to school. I recognised her as my previous maths teacher.

Got home from work round 1:30pm. Made some hamburgers then took a nap around 4pm-9pm. Had a cool dream.

DR1
I'm going down an escalator in a mall. Only it's not a mall, but a huge grocery store. Every food type has it's own huge section as big as a whole wing of a mall. I'm walking by the cheese section. There is nobody else there and it feels like it's out of the way. I'm trying to figure out what did cheese do to be sequestered like that, haha. Then I see the Laughing Cow cheese on the shelf and I understand : D

My brother is looking at coconut water in cans. They are green and kinda expensive. He wants to buy some but doesn't want to spend the money. I tell him to buy just one or two then. He says they taste good with vodka, haha.

I go back to get him a few cans, and there are only 3 other customers. All male. I'm kinda worried that if they wanted to do something to me, they could. One of them walks near me with a big pillow in front of him and I wonder if he is hiding an erection. (lol). He is manacing and I get away from there.

DR2
I'm walking through a huge candy store. It's very bright and lots of glass and windows. Everything is very nicely displayed and organized and neat. There is 3 of us. Another female and a child. We are there for this kid who is picking out candy. I see containers of all kinds of cereal I have never seen before in waking life. They were all mouthwatering. I considered getting some, but there were so many kinds. One with strawberry and ssome other frosting looked especially enticing. We come to boxes on the floor that are full of some soft, marshmallow or cotton candy type of thing. I taste it and pick up two bags to buy. It's so good.

(Just before sleep, I ate almost whole bag of candy. Felt bad about it too)

For the past two nights I've made the mistake of charging my phone while sleeping, which has caused me to sleep past my alarms (and also only remember certain parts of my dreams). But here they are anyway:

June 12: There was something about an extremely racist man on a television show about coyotes. Also, I was living with an older man who was possibly my big brother, and my tenth grade history class did come up once or twice.

June 13: I was in a large building that was possibly someone's mansion. I remember that I was cleaning their sink.

Suddenly I was waiting for a train car to arrive on the railing system in a dream world. I looked around and saw people walking about as they did in waking life in similar places. I noticed that there were several tracks leading in different directions in which all the directions seemed to venture out into a similar distance, almost as if they shared the same track but split, if that makes any sense.

This kind of reminds me of my life right now, and how I hold a belief that I have many options or ways to outlook my own life, through meaning and understanding or disdain. I like the first two over the last, except, sometimes I get caught up in my own feelings and I feel like I can fall into an empty void of eternal darkness, and that's just scary, but as time ticks on I am learning to rid myself of fear and old beliefs so I can become one again. Oh, and have better dreams because I have been through quite the dry spell lately.

Dream One- I am outside at a park of some sort with lots of trees and a small creek/river. They were doing some construction work building pathways with square covered resting areas with pagoda roofs. The pathways and resting areas are made of a very light colored wood. I am there with a group, perhaps a class or a tour group? We walk down one of the completed pathways to a pagoda rest area. I rush to sit in the corner of the benches that go around the perimeter of the area. A woman stands in the center of the pagoda talking about something, but I am not listening. Instead I am looking out to my left over the water and just letting my mind wonder. I turn to look at the speaker for a moment to at least feign interest in what she is saying. Suddenly a hand grabs the top of my head and another clamps down over my mouth and someone pulls me back and almost over the rail of the pagoda. My first instinct is to panic, and I let out a muffled cry under the hand on my face for a split second. Then my back touches my grabber's chest and recognition kicks in. It's Kurasawa, I can feel that otherworldly pull in my chest towards him. I relax instantly, and he whispers in my ear something like, "so you missed me?" He releases me and I turn around in my seat to banter back with,"Yeah Jerk, of course I did!" He smiles, and I am insanely happy and relieved to see him free since I still can not remember if I rescued him when I lost lucidity the night before or not. I wake up from all the happy excited feels.
