non-lucid

It was cloudy, grim afternoon. Storm clouds were high up in the sky. I was at a graveyard with my mother, we took some tools to clean graves of family. I looked around and saw a huge ball of dirt, grass and other plants. It was growing up and slowly rolling around the graveyard. It's speed was increasing all the time, and when we were halfway to grandpa's grave, it rolled with really high speed, leaving only a dirt path behind. Mother was quite surprised how fast it rolled. It turned towards us and we had to jump out of it's way.

I had a bunch of dreams last night. The most I have remembered in a while. I think it really helps that I told myself the night before that I needed to remember them so I could write them in my Dream Journal. None of them were particularly long or vivid. But I'm glad I remembered what I did.

Dream 1:

I was in my old childhood neighborhood. I saw a nearby house (one East of the school) had burned down. Then as I watched I saw a big truck some barreling down the street and smash in to the house next to it. It was quite shocking I hoped the people inside were okay since the truck took about a third of the house down.

Later I am in the house next to the two that had been destroyed. I am with a former roommate Bonna and a few freinds. I told them I had a really bad feeling about staying in this house. I was sure that this house was next to be destroyed. I finally convinced them to evacuate. It was then like a treehouse because we were climbing down a ladder. I'm pretty sure that I noticed a fire in the house as soon as were were down.

[This was inspired because I had looked up my old neighborhood on Google maps before bed.]

Dream 2:

I was walking down the street in a neighborhood near the church I went to growing up in LA. I suddenly realized that I could fly. I don't think I was lucid, yet some of my actions were similar to things I do while lucid. I flew slowly straight up in the air. I started to have trouble getting very high. I knew my trick for flying was to not push myself higher, but to make the scenery move around me. So I focused on the scenery getting lower and lower around me, and I saw that I was getting quite high. But then I found myself under some power lines. I've heard that this is a problem for some lucid dreamers, but I've only had this happen once before. I realized that I was very close to the energized lines. I could hear a buzz and feel my hair start to stand up on my head and arms.

[This was also inspired because I had looked up my old neighborhood on Google maps before bed.]

Dream 3:

I don't remember how this dream started but I found myself in a large room. I had no pants on. I think I was doing laundry. But then these guys started coming into the room to play video games. I think Kasey, Daniel, and David were there. I tried to get my pants on quickly before they noticed. I should have gotten lucid on this one.

Dream 4:

I was in a Japanese store buying what was called "noodles" but it looked more like a crumbly cake. The Japanese man who ran the store asked if I were traveling. I said, No, I was local.

Dream 5:

I went in this large kitchen. I was barefooted. I noticed something on the ground right in front of the fridge. As I looked closer I saw that someone had stepped on a tarantula. Its body had been squished, but it was still alive and trying to walk and pull it's mangled body with it. it was a horrible sight. There was a huge amount of white paste-like guts coming out the back of the spider. I wanted to kill it and put it out of its misery, but I had no shoes on and couldn't step on it. But I didn't know if I could have anyway.

[This was inspired by an incident that happened earlier that day where I found a big black widow and tried to kill it with a shovel. I only hit it's body the first time and had to give it a second whack. Hate when that happens.]

Dream 6:

I was trying to sleep. I realized that my bed was in a crowded mall or airport. I was in a smaller room that was just off the main area, but the head of my bed was right were the opening of the room connected. It gave me a weird feeling to have all these strangers walking within a few feet of my head. I thought of trying to move my bed further into the room so I wouldn't be as close. But then I started hearing what I thought was hypnagogic audio hallucinations. I could hear a man's voice clearly talking in my head. I remembered the times that I had been able to write down some of those weird things that were said in hallucinations in the past. I wanted to start writing down what I was hearing. I carefully found a pencil and paper without waking myself up completely. I started to write down what the man was still saying in my head. I no longer remember what was being said.

Dream 7:

I was starting a hike with friends. I realized that I wasn't as prepared as I thought. I didn't have on my hiking boots. I had on sandals with a pair of socks. I tried to remember where we were hiking. This could work if we were hiking through water.

Dream 8:

I was sitting with my family. My dad (who passed away many years ago) was there talking to the family. I remember feeling happy about this, but at the time I didn't realize why.

D1 - I was writing a letter in an agreed code to the love of my life. I was communicating in the way we had agreed in a language only we understood. I was working away when somebody started nosing asking me what I was doing. Then there was someone else sending a letter, too her, a normal letter. I got annoyed that they were sending her things and started to question whether I was right or not.

D2 - Some dark dream about large enemies in a dark inky watery world. A struggle for survival, repeated over and over.

D3- At work I am feeling the emotions carried over from the previous two dreams, I am distraught, feeling too many emotions, saddness, anger and hopelessness all overcoming me. A boy is goading me and even though I know I will lose my job I chase after him, meaning to hurt him, I gets some steel prongs and catch up with him on a stairwell. We struggle and I hit him, bubbling over with anger. I hit him again aiming to kill him though at the same time not wanting too. He just looks at me strangely not retaliating.
A teacher is coming and I know they will put me in prison.
I know then that I am dreaming and change the prongs into broken peices of a plastic spade, harmless. They can harm no one any more.

[comment]
I realise the boy of course is me, when I was younger
who I blame for the mess I am in now
although he obviously intended no harm

The dark world is the world I have been living in I think.
just fighting for survival.
I walk out of that dream into a calm place on a seashore, I sit feeling the calm and peace wash over me.

I think I know the first dream too but it is a bit to personal and near the bone right now.

I had a dream that I was going to watch Peter Pan the musical and they needed a Tinkerbell so someone dragged me out of the audience and asked if I would do it. I didn't have a chance to agree before I was thrown into a costume and told to react like her (she didn't have any lines). So the whole play I'm just kinda jumping around like a maniac hoping my wig won't fall off. Weird.

Preface:

I have been completely pre-occupied with flooding in my area. It rained for about 3 days straight- Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Most of the areas here are flooded. All of the school districts were shut down, many homes and businesses had no power. My office was closed, so I have been working from home all week. Yesterday we lost power for a short time, but other than that things have been okay on my end. I have been very exhausted and unable to sleep. Last night I was finally able to sleep at a decent time. I didn't recall much, but this is a lot for me as I have not been able to recall anything in days.

DR 1
I dreamt I was in my cubicle, seated at a chair. I was trying to go to sleep, but I kept being interrupted by random things going on at work.
There was a lady in the cubicle in front of me. I knew her; she used to work with me last year. She was dressed up very nicely and had on bright red lipstick.

DR 2
I was a third party, and I was watching a lady. She kept lying to people about things. She had a apparently lied to this guy about something serious...killing someone? Her friend went to a hotel room and covered it up for her. He even made it look like someone had blown the elevator doors open. At the end of the dream, she is sitting at a picnic table with her friend, and she is telling another lie to someone else. It looked like that was going to go on forever.

DR 3
I was making a miniature Christmas tree to match the big one that was already set up. I did this while sitting right next to a huge 7 foot tree. I was making mine a personalized version, because it had photographs on it. There were a lot of icicles everywhere. I was happy doing this, very content.

DR 4
I received a phone call from a man with a thick Southern accent. I didn't like what he was saying- he insulted me. I told him I didn't want to talk to him anymore. I received a second phone call. This was from a lady. She started saying that she knew the guy I just talked to. So, I told her he was creepy and to be careful- I said a bunch of things warning her about him. All of a sudden the guy was on the phone saying "haha it was me all along- I changed my voice". I freaked out and told him to leave me alone and stop calling my phone. I was very mad and upset.

Nothing last night.

Woke up this morning at 7 remembering:

I'm in a "school/university situation". The different buildings are in a hilly landscape near sea, it must be summer because the grass is dry and yellow. We are staying in a bungalow with a group of students. One of the walls is almost entirely made of glass, with big sliding doors. It's very windy outside, more than windy, it's a storm. I say to my boyfriend (I'm younger in my dream, he's now my husband) that I'm afraid that the parasol and the sign are going to be blown away. He says "don't worry, it's not that bad". But I see the sign disappeared already and now the giant parasol is going up in the air. I see animals are loose outside, white and brown ones and I ask my boyfriend if they are our calves. He says "No, they're from down there" and he points his finger to show me.
In the same dream I'm in one of the school/university buildings. I have to get back to the classroom but (of course, I think that happens all the time) I can't seem to find my way back. I walk with a girl I know, when she enters a classroom I want to follow her, but don't recognize the faces of the other students. Not the right place. I continue looking, on different floors, until I finally it. I'm too late, most of the others have already left. I can see that the teacher (my secondary school's maths teacher) has handed out a large book and two big sheets about economy. I wonder how I can get them as well, but I can't even find my bag and my computer. I ask my boyfriend if he knows where they are. He's impatient, wants to leave, to go out, have fun and get drunk. I'm upset, because I'm tired of looking for the classroom and my stuff and instead of comforting me, he only wants to go out and drink. He shows me where to find my things anyway. They're hidden behind a big desk chair.

After writing this I still felt sleepy so I tried a WBTB. I slept again, quite long, woke up with a headache and no dream.

Lots and lots of little fragments this morning, going from my memory before I can write them down.

1) I was going to be killed by lethal injection. I had asked another doctor to do it. I was in a room waiting for it to happen, all sorts of strange thoughts were going through my head - I was imagining what I would be thinking at the moment it took effect, and what he would put on my death certificate. A lot more happened in this dream (or was it part of another dream?). I was in a deserted public school building, I looked into a room and saw that it was an old dormitory and felt sorry for the children that must have lived there.

2) I parked a vehicle in an underground garage, got out and walked up some steps to ground level. I had to meet someone.

20/4/16
Dream 1: I was catching the bus home when the stop before the one I would get off at a woman and her young kid got off. As they went off I told them that they could use these coupons to get free drinks from the bus driver. The tried that however the bus driver said the coupons actually meant that if they bought one drink they would get another for free. The two people didn't want to buy one, so they hopped off anyway. I felt a bit guilty about this, and tried to get off at my stop however the bus didn't stop at my stop. I got off afterwards and caught the bus back the other direction to get to my stop, however it happened again and I had to catch a bus 4 times to get off at my stop. Once I finally got off then I met an old friend.

Dream 2: I was playing Minecraft on a server. A few people were showing off their different medieval builds, however after I had seen a few of them I realised they weren't that good and some of my builds were better than theirs, so I invited them to come look at a town I had made.

Dream 3: There was music playing, I think metal but I'm not sure, however I was competing against my brother in some sort of game.

Dream 4: I was either on a train or sitting around somewhere on a bench with a few other people around my age. They were discussing different universities and the benefits and disadvantages of different ones. I told them about the different specialisations of the different uni's and what marks they would need to get in and stuff.

Dream 5: I was in a lecture rom and the professor was a stuttering old German guy, kind of like Dr. Strangelove. People were laughing at how he spoke until he got a bit angry. Someone asked whether he was a defector from WW2 Germany and he said he was, that he had escaped in 1943 to try and lead a better life.

LUCID
*Enjoying flight with my brother on city streets. I don't remember to many details from this dream besides the fact I felt that I was lucid but on completely
sure.

NON LUCID
*Ugly female biker talks shit while I'm in deep thought standing on the city streets of Cambodia.
*I watch a family be thankful for the monk's robe left from them in particular.
*Witnessing a sick science experiment involving the anus of volunteer subjects.
*Janet and I are very excited to be trying to a jet pack for the first time.

Shot

I was inside an apartment following a guy I use to know down the stairs. I had a feeling he was in a gang but was too afraid to confront him. (The feeling that he was in a gang is only dream related)Anyways I followed him but than I stopped."Aren't you coming?"he asked impatiently. I said I was unsure but than he looked mad so I said okay and exited the building but than my dad came from behind calling my name.

"Dad? Why are you here?"I asked.He looked like he was worried and told me he wanted to go with me. I didn't want him to come but I let him. I lost track of the guy I use to know though. My dad just followed me when suddenly people started screaming and running from a man wearing a space suit. He was holding a long black gun and approached us. He kept repeating something too as if he lost his mind than shot my father.

"Noooo!"I shouted angrily looking to the side but my father was gone. The guy than slipped and fell to the ground. (There was some snow on the ground) I grabbed his gun and told him I was gonna kill him for what he did. He pleaded me not to but I pulled the trigger. The sad thing about it was that there were no bullets. I kept pressing it than gave up and threw the gun at his head knocking him out.(He still had his space helmet on and I didn't see it crack but yeah...anything can happen in a dream)Afterwards I started walking in a different direction. It was very dark and the street lamps were dim.

As I was walking two characters tried asking me if they could go inside me. I said no and kept walking. They than tried to force themselves inside my mind but failed. I continued until I was stopped by a sheep doll. It looked kind of strange but not really scary. It was moving and telling me stuff about itself so I could buy it or something like that. I rejected it and kept moving. Eventually waking up.

More Randomness

I was at what was suppose to be my house but it was disfigured. Walls were missing, the floor was higher up than the next room and there was a huge hole on the ground in btw the two rooms. There were people present in the room and a boy who sounded familiar approached me saying "I need to talk to you". I was gonna let him but being in my sleep wear I decided to get changed first.

"Okay but wait"I said now trying to get across to the room to the side of the current room we were in. I managed to get to where I wanted but than I found a rectangular board with a dark green sky and a crecent moon on it. I looked at it thinking of its purpose and meaning than heard a song appear in the background.It sounded new and was in Japanese and english.

Suddenly my father approached me and served me a plate of food with boiled eggs. He kept asking me if I wanted the bigger piece or the small one. I said he could give me whatever he wanted to give me Than I became distracted by a cartoon of Dawn, Eye and I. Our characters were in traditional japanese outfits and were in a forest like setting with a traditional japanese house present too. It was night and Eye stepped in the house. My character just smiled a bit not knowing what to do and Dawn just stood there.

What I recall next is it went back to me eating the food. Than I ended up going to what was suppose to be my old room where part of the wall was missing too. I sat on the bed and noticed a big fluffy orange or white cat lay down on it. Afterwards I heard someone narrating the scene mentioning how if you hold the paw of the cat as you try to sleep it can be comforting. I tried it and it felt nice but than the cat climbed on my leg and started feeling heavy so I got up.

Next thing that happened was I arrived at a bakery. There an employee was left alone and service was slow. I took a icecream cone instead and went to the shop next to it. Dropping the icecream by mistake after realizing I did not pay for it. A boy with a group of friends began to talk about me being careless. I got mad and took the icecream off the floor than put it on his face. He acted like I wasn't present so I just moved on to the next area in the shop/mall.

I was interested in the arcade area and found what looked like a chess game mixed with a pool table game. I was about to play when out of no where a kid I haven't seen in a long time ran next to me and started screaming excitedly."Do you want to play?" I asked him awkwardly. Than a winning tune came out of his mouth and played for a bit. I walked away when another kid decided to play one on one with him. However, I was stopped by a brown pony that randomly broke in and almost crashed into me. I ran around shouting for help and noticed the place now looked like a library mixed with an arcade and a mall.

A dark skinned man wearing black and red armor ran in and started wrestling with the pony. I saw him slamming the pony like it was nothing. His friend called out to him and I tried telling him to stop because he was being too ruff. I ran after the pony when it got loose than the two guys started chasing us. We were cornered in a wall and the pony now became the boy who I haven't seen in years. The man in the armor now took out his black spear. "Stop! Please!"I shouted afraid he was going to stab us both. His friend than told him that maybe he should stop. But than the man in the armor responded "No, I got this. Watch". I than gave up and moved a bit to the side. The guy with the armor took a remote and hit the boy softly on the head than suddenly he started playing a happy tune from his mouth and seemed content. "See!" Said the man in the armor now confident with his own judgement. His friend smiled than I woke up.

19/4/16: This one comes a bit late as I've been sick. Possibly due to that while I know I had several more dreams than what I've written here I didn't have the wherewithal or focus to get up and write them down so I forgot them.
Dream 1: I was in the lab at university doing a test. I was with a few other people and we were finding the tensile strength of a couple of different types of metal.

Dream 2: I was living with my wife in a house when some sort of time stop happened and the house started filling with water As we were about to go under I broke free of the time stop, grabbed my wife and ran out to our plane/spaceship. We flew off and landed on an island. This island had a large cliff/mountain with a waterfall flowing down it, there was a cave next to that waterfall which we landed by. We started living in that cave, but then people started arriving and stuff so we flew off to Jupiter to escape them. We stayed there for a while until we got messages from our family and friends saying they wanted us back, so we flew back to the cave and found them all there waiting for us.

Dream 3: I was at my dad's house, an acoustic Agalloch song was playing and I was singing along. I went over to my bedside table and opened up the draw, taking out the handful of coins that were in there. I started examining them and admiring their beauty, all the while the song was still playing.

Fragment: Something to do with an old car.

Dream 4: I was in the city on a major street, near some tram tracks (was sort of like Elizabeth St in Melbourne). I wandered along the street for a while with my brother until we saw a taekwondo place up ahead. We went over there and climbed up some steps to head inside, except that door was locked. We turned around and there was a girl I used to know there (named Elizabeth coincidentally haha). She directed us to the proper entrance, down another flight of stairs, and we entered.

Dream 5: I was part of a video game I guess, people were split into different teams based on elements and I was tasked with sneaking into the fire teams tower to see what was going on. Once inside however I realised no one was in there, well that I could see, so I started snooping around. I walked into a circular room and I saw, carved into the far wall, a pedestal holding a glowing gold ring. I used my magic to knock the ring off, knowing it would be booby trapped, and then picked up the ring and put it on. I had found the legendary ring which could control people, like people telekinesis. As I turned around I saw a few fire guards approaching me, however I held them off with the ring and calmly walked outside. I found my brother nearby and beckoned him to come inside with me to see what I had found. He seemed skeptical but followed me inside. Those guards were still there and tried to rush us, but I stopped them with the ring and made them act like puppets.

Dream 6: There were people from the biggest loser on some post-show interview program. One family had 3 out of the 4 members dressed rather... provocatively, or shall I say not dressed very much, and as they entered the room the others recoiled in horror and disgust.

Fragment: Something about a camping trip.

I go to a place I do not know. There I meet a famous football (soccer) player who lives there, he's with some friends and his girlfriend. Although they speak a different language to me, we understand each other well. The site in which they live is something like a ghetto where people who are of nationality are, it is a dangerous place where those coming from outside can be assailed and attacked. I am safe because I am a friend of the player. We move through the area and talk to his girlfriend who is a very nice person and we become friends. When I decide to get out of there, she comes with me to leave the place and not have problems with people who live there.

*10 year old kid tries to sell me weed.
*I ask Janet to be with because I realize I cant be without her.

Non-lucid dream fragment- Me & 3 other people kept trying to get into this house & find evidence & the criminals would show up & they would chase us out... It was like it was happening on a loop almost but we just kept having to come back & each time there would be a little bit different outcome... That's all I could remember.

Fun

I was laying on my bed in the darkness of my room.Paying attention to my surrounding for a presence.Suddenly I felt a tall strong woman approach me from behind. I sleep on the opposite side of the wall so I got up quickly and turned around.

" Look at your eyes. Their blue and orange." I said this and the dark woman figure now had eyes like jade`s old smily face avatar. The woman was annoyed by this"No I don`t!"she shouted and began to approach me faster."Yeah they are ! See!"I than moved my hands into a position than pulled them back and a long blue and orange ribbon appeared on the tall dark woman holding her still.

I than got up happily and noticed a portal opening into a different setting.I saw a blue sky, a large white flying ship that reminds me of fox`s ship in melee and floating pieces or platforms that were like stairs to the sky. Just when I was about to jump the woman lost her dark black appearance and jumped at me with a sword. "No!"I heard Dawn call out than she moved back and began jumping on the platforms to the sky.

I began to do the same happily cheering "yeah!!". I even tried grabbing a hold of the woman just for fun. But as I was going up a helicopter got in front of me. Someone ended up pushing me to the side more so I wouldn`t hit the top of the copter."thanks" I said and continued going up. However, I soon lost sight of the woman as I got higher. I had a feeling I was getting closer to outer space but didn`t want to go there so I started jumping down. "Maybe I should just fly to the ship" I thought. Than out of no where a guy who almost looked like Kiro appeared jumping up on the platforms quickly.

Dawn began narrating the scene saying how the guy was doing his best to get up to the top. The guy was now the focus of the dream and I saw in a close first perspective that when he was high enough he jumped. He was trying to get on a white cruise like ship but fell into the ocean.

He than began swimming desperately towards the white ship."Even though my lungs feel like their being crushed I won`t give up! I can save them!" Is what the guy thought in his mind. I could see he was trying but he was getting slower. The scene than switched to his friends who were on the ship.

Dawn started narrating again mentioning how it was too late because his friend who was fighting the bad guy was already badly beaten. His friend had lighter brown hair and had a long white shirt on. He was hanging on a busted part of the ship with scratches all over him and a bloody lip.

"Poor guy"I thought. The guy who was trying to save him arrived on the ship but he looked weak. The bad guy with the black cloak immediately started beating him on the ship. The scene than changed to the inside of the ship where his friends who had some power left were worrying about the situation.

A tall buff guy stood by the door than mentioned how he wasn't going to win. A girl with pink hair than said"All we can do is hope...hope...". The rest began to mumble their own worries."Hope? If it was me I would run out there to save him" I said thinking out loud. After that something else happened than I woke up.
Random Sillyness

This dream started off at a supermarket but than I left the supermarket to go somewhere else with my mom. We ended up in a office where a lady asked me when I wanted to start. That they had a spot open for thanksgiving week. I said no because I wouldn't want to spend my vacation week going to an appointment. She agreed and was about to change the date."wait a minute. Do I have to come here again?" I asked. The lady said no. That having a appointment once a year was mandatory. I than told her to forget about the appointment because I had a appointment this year but it was a few months ago.

The dream setting than changed to a room that looked nothing like mine in WL. I got up from the bed and saw little mice with big eyes staring at me from the other bed a girl was sleeping in. I raised my voice telling her to get up because there were mice on top of her. She got up quick and as I was running through the halls I saw my mom. I told her about the incident and she said that all I needed to do was wash my hair. I than quickly ran into the bathroom, wetting my hair and hoping there were no mice on my head.

What I recall next is being at a basement of a school where a subway system was.There was a pink microphone being kept inside a cabinet. I felt like it was mine than out of no where a girl started laughing at me and calling me a little girl. I grabbed her by her shirt collar and told her that if I liked the color pink and enjoyed singing there was nothing wrong with that. That if she couldn't see beyond the color of the microphone she was stupid".She became scared than apologized.

I let her go and noticed that in a door near us there was a class weeping for a boy who had finishing killing a bully. He felt really bad for what he did. I walked up to the boy and told him it wasn't his fault and that he could be forgiven.( Felt like I was in a dream guiding him with the others at this point.) The rest agreed and began to comfort him more. I than became fully lucid and became more aware of Dawn being in the crowd.He was trying to be positive for the boy as well than sat down.I sat down on Dawn's lap as he was talking to another DC about something.

He didn't seem to mind but than I felt like being silly."I'm gonna fart on your lap."I said jokingly. He than pushed me off and I started to laugh. He said something after that but I forgot what he said. The scene than began to change to the interior of a house. The walls were dark green and the floor wooden. There was a fireplace and furniture matching the color of the wall and flooring. (Dark Green and wooden furniture) The lights were also dim and it was night outside. (The lamps were on)

Dawn was now sitting in a chair next to Manei. They looked chibi and were talking about something. I walked up to them than took notice of a pine forest tree in the house. It was covered in Christmas decorations. "You guys better not kiss when i'm gone" I said than brought my attention to a different part of a room where I felt like randomly placing another tree."Don't worry. We wont. "Dawn said as I was moving around and thinking about furniture moving for fun. Kind of reminded me of the sims.

The next thing that i recall is I false awakened and told my younger brother that I had a funny dream where Dawn made a funny joke. He than became spider man and retold the joke to me. Something about being tossed into the air and being a girl....
