non-lucid

Competition night #14

1) I was talking to a girl about her health. She had problems with her knee and elbow. Then I was withe her and her parents they were saying how awful the families health was and were shocked that she nowhad to go onto parenteral nutrition, I couldn't understand it. The the scene shifted completely and I was watching a car chase and there was a dog attached to the front of the car behind it edged towards the other car the dog put its nose into the exhaust of the car in front and caused it to crash. There was a big explosion. A major incident was called. Then I was a doctor attending the incident. There were hundreds of fire crew stood around and I commented that at least there were plenty of them but maybe too many. I walked into a building and spoke to the officer in charge of the incident and told him that I had to go and check out a computer shop next door. I walked out carrying my emergency bag over my shoulder. I looked for the shop but couldn't find it. I saw lots of other shps and stalls and went to see what a crowd of people were looking at and it was a food stall. Then I woke up.

2) Fragment: I was smoking in my office at work (gave up years ago) I got really worried that I might get caught and tried to hide the evidence but it was till smoking.

3) Fragment: My wife had picked all the apples in the orchard and was tipping them out into a big container.

4) Fragment: Watching TV in a small flat, I woke up and drifted back into the dream. Almost had a DEILD: loked outside onto a balcony, saw a cat smemi-realised I was dreaming and woke up again.

Competition night #13

Flying outside some sort of clubhouse, can't remember much else. I flew high then went down fast trying to make it feel like I was on a rollercoaster. I went down past a tree, saw a gap between buildings then up again - I repeated it twice

23/4/16
Dream 1: I was reading a newspaper where there was an interview with some supreme SJW person or something. I turned over to the back for the sport pages and saw Essendon had beat Collingwood, just, they were being called the "Northumbermen".

Dream 2: I was in an industrial estate place in a nearby suburb with a whole bunch of people from my year level from high school. The details slipped away when I woke up however.

Fragment: A with thing at PAX

Edit: Rememered a fragment. Something to do with launching a Soyuz spacecraft.

Dream 1:

I remembered I was attending my new summer class. (Over the summer, I have to take a remedial class because advising is a dick and they've managed to get out of giving me an appointment that's a whole 'nother story.) Anyways, I remember that we were inside of this big dome that had a model of the solar system in it, hanging from chains. The class met inside of the sun.

I remember going inside of the sun, there was a reasonable sized room in there. The whole room was made out of white painted particle board. Since it was hanging, it would sort of wobble. I remember feeling like the room was not structurally sound, particularly since it hung over this absolutely huge foyer like room, and it seemed to wobble around (I think it was hanging from chains.)

Anyways I was the only one up there and I was waiting for the other students, when someone told me that I was in fact in Jupiter and not the sun. (None of the planets were painted yet.) So I had to climb over through venus. But the chain broke loose and I was left hanging with my computer in one hand and a rotten white painted 2x4 in the other. Someone said they would call the fire department.

...

I swear this trouble dragged on for quite a long time, jumping from different a Eventually I was riding my bike in (I think London or Paris, it felt like Europe) and I finally dropped my computer onto the brick street and broke it. Then a bus came barreling towards me honking the horn. I suddenly snapped into lucidity and jumped over it. I think I started flying and all these people made a big circle around me and saw me slowly hover down back into the street.

Dream 2:

I was watching the season finale of Survivorman where he was going to Kayak down this river to this abandoned city that had been flooded by global warming. He did. Edward Elric was with him.

I remember a huge block of cement fell on him from one of the buildings. He looked up and said 'That's a big rock'. Then it fell on him and severely injured him. I remember he got injured on his leg too. Ed had to use alchemy to heal him.

Fast forward to to the third day of the survival. I remember they had left the abandoned city because it was too dangerous with all the falling bits of buildings. They got attacked by this witch character that haunted the forest. Then I manifested into the dream and became lucid. I ran at the witch and kicked her in the face. At that same moment she manifested a baseball bat with her magic and hit me in the face.

Ed screamed: "Cross counter!"

I think I false awakened, but I forgot what I false awakened into...

... Actual awakening, WeeBTB.

Dream 3:

I was in my color theory class. I went to the restroom (that was connected to the classroom, weirdly enough.) I remember the restroom had a staircase in it, that was weird. It slowly changed to a gym.

A girl from my old high school was there. I remember there were three treadmills and she was changing the plugs around so that all of them could run at the same time. Each one had a plug in the side that she ran out to an additional treadmill essentially creating a chain. I remember she set mine on a super low speed and that annoyed me for some reason.

We both wound up walking outside. It was nighttime and the college building was alone on a hillside. I remember a ways down the hill there was a road, then a row of thick trees and then a river. I remember I told her not to go into the woods down past the road because there was this restless spirit that lived down there. She did it anyway. I think I saw the spirit take her. When it did, I said something like.

"She was never very bright, but her heart was in the right place."

I then went back up to the building and became lucid. I remember there was this cult in there that was hypnotizing people, and I wanted to free them. It was down in the basement and it was dark, and I was afraid that the dream would lose stability. I remember I was able to crack my neck and glow in the dark. (Internal logic, I turned myself into a human glow stick.)

I went down into the basement and saw the cult. There were about 20 people. (Some of them students from my college) sitting around a pentagram. They all had headphones on. There were also three or four other people there, I think they were.

I unplugged the headphones and all the people snapped out of their hypnosis. I told them to run. They all obeyed and ran upstairs. The hooded cultists started to come after me. The leader of this cult (old, short, balding guy) had this huge trident/lance type weapon. He said he was going to smite me in the name of his god [his god had some name I don't remember]. I blocked the lance and punched the guy. For some reason when I punched him he became naked. (I did not need to see that old saggy cult leader naked.) He flew into the air and landed in the corner of the room.

This other guy came after me and said he was going to punch my lights out. He was much bigger than me, but I tripped him and pushed him into this big banquet table with food for them on it. He asked me why I didn't just accept the fact that there was always bad guys in my dreams and why I would always fight them. I told him that there was no point in not trying to make my dreams a better place, I get lucid, might as well do it. He asked me something about my use of violence and I told him it was because people like him always attacked me first. He didn't like my rhetoric so I threw a cake in his face.

I then remember this girl came out, apparently the daughter of the leader of the cult. I remember she had this very weird outfit on, like the lower half was just like a bikini bottom but the upper half (upper body, arms and head) were like an iron man suit painted black. Six machine guns came out of it (three on each shoulder.)

She shot at me, but I made a force bubble and reflected all the bullets, but I could feel the shield would not hold for long. I jumped clear and ran along the wall to get close. When I got close, I was able to tear two of the machine guns off of one of the shoulders (Think it was her left). I remember on the back they had a handle like a handgun, but a giant minigun barrel on front. I kept fighting the hooded cult members that were just projections in empty robes, and fighting them with machine guns was hard because it would just make holes in the robes.

This other girl showed up wearing a huge green hoop skirt that I think transformed from a more mundane outfit. Beneath the hoop skirt was also the bell of a rocket engine so she could fly, and she had missile silos for breasts. The two began fighting with each other, while trying to escape deeper under the building. I remember there were these metal sharks that would swim around in the air that they were also fighting.

I think I might have gotten distracted and died in the chaos. I was simply observing as a ghost/spirit. When I did, I saw the ghost of the cult leader. He went to a museum hall and used his necromancy to resurrect a T-Rex skeleton, as punishment for his daughter wearing such a ridiculous outfit... I... Uhh... where is this ridiculous plotline going?

...

Just as the chaos was reaching a climax, I false awakened in the back of my friend S's old car. He was driving down a highway in (I think Shanghai) with the top down. I told him that I just had a really weird lucid dream. He said that It was 2:15pm and I had only been asleep since 2:05...

Night Total: 42.5.

My dream recall has been terrible due to insomnia and over tiredness, plus daughter troubles.

D1 - I'm jogging with someone I know, and a herd of others. I am feeling serious about taking part and happy about my friend being with me. As we are going along I am strangely drawn to her shapely butt, Oops, she is so gawjus it is a magnetic thing ^^ I would follow her anywhere
No doubt if that dream had continued I would have run straight into a lampost!

D2 - I am selecting the perfect message to send to the someone, I am looking through old style vinyl records. I need to find the right one to connect my feelings with them. I hear the song playing over and over, I am putting all my intention into sending the vibes to the person. The song is still playing as I wake up nice I don't often remember music from my dreams.



[comment]
My subconscious has a wicked sense of humour.
Oo no water? but no nightmares either so no complaints
Song will be in my head all day I think...

22/4/16
Fragment: I was playing the Elder Scrolls Legends beta

Dream 1: I was on a tram heading towards a place a decent length away from the city. I got off and met up with a girl from my high school. I saw there was a Dr Who exhibit on and I knew she loved Dr Who so I asked her to come with me. We went in and there was an impersonator of the Doctor and the girl got very excited. I didn't care much about the show or anything but it was good to make her happy. After that we parted ways, she went on a bus and waved and smiled goodbye to me. I then saw a tv I think where a little girl was running on the Olympic team. The story showed how initially she was 5 seconds slower than anyone else but now she had just beat everyone else to win. I then caught a bus and got off and walked into a building where another friend was. We started talking about sport. I told him how James Harden had won the game for the Rockets, he said he knew about it, then it morphed into me playing basketball.

Dream 2: A FA where I was writing down the details of the previous dream (DOH! I really should have got lucid off of that)

Dream 3: I was in a public gym place in a park doing exercise. I was doing a tricep pull thing for a while, then an old guy came up to me and started talking about athletics. I didn't recognise him but then I remembered that I had got my athletics shorts off of him, or the other way round, I don't know it was pretty weird.

21/4/16: (Forgot to write this up and then was out all evening, better late that never. Therefore the details are probably lacking as I have forgotten them)
Dream 1: I was at university going up and down the escalators to various floors, I don't know why.

Fragment: I was trying to sign up to a political party

Dream 2: My mum bought movie tickets for us, but she accidentally got too many so she was trying to get a refund but they wouldn't let her. We then walked past a restaurant and tried to give away the tickets to the people inside.

Dream 3: I was at a country club place with my family, waiting outside the front around a bench. My little brother sat down on that bench so I told him that it was meant for people with stagefright and explained what that was.

Non-Lucid Dream: I was in the driveway outside of this big white house in the country. One of my daughters was there & she needed a place to hide from her kids' father. So I hurried them inside of this house. We heard someone arriving outside so we start to panic. But instead of it being him, it was a social worker. When the woman came inside she saw my daughter, who was now floating all around going up & down halls & up & down stairs. She had somehow made herself look & act like a ghost! This was so amazingly funny to me but I kept my cool when the social worker started freaking out. She was hysterical yelling & telling me that that was my daughter & that she was a ghost & I kept saying "what ghost?" and "are you okay" & other such things acting as if she was having a nervous breakdown in from of me. I figured there was no way she could grab her or tell anyone this because they'd never believe her anyway. It was quite the production watching her freak out. She ran out of the house & my daughter & I busted up laughing. She was still a ghost, lol. I don't know where the kids went. Then I woke up.

Explanation: Over the last 2 days I've been reading 2 books. Yes, sometimes I read 2 books at a time. I like to read. One is called "A Graveyard for Lunatics" by Ray Bradbury & the other is the first Harry Potter book. So the appearance of the ghost like this was triggered by these books. The daughter reference came from me talking to someone about her problems just yesterday on Facebook.

Side Notes: Nebulus was telling me about Synchronicity the other day. I've always wondered what all of these little things that inter connect were called. The amount of these that I notice in my life are very vast. Seriously, I have these "Syncs" all throughout my day, evening & dreaming. I'm quite aware of them when they happen & the majority are not typical everyday things either. Any way I looked up Synchronicity & got this.... The reason I decided to read the Harry Potter series again was to enhance my dreams & get out of the too serious stuff & just have fun. Ironically the books make for not so strange bed fellows for lucid dreamers due to Harry having dreams, magic, flying & detailed descriptions of environments.... I originally read the series when my youngest son was a kid. I used to take him to the store for the book releases at midnight & stand in line for our reserved books. (I should mention my husband was also reading them) So when the last book came out my son did't want to go with me to the store that night so I bought 3 books so we could all compete to see who could get it read first. I won, lol. So the series has a sentimental value for me also.

I was in school. The place was somehow weirdly changed around. I was wandering around a small stadium. Some group was playing basketball - I didn't liked them and when the ball flewn away from them, I kicked it far away and went back to school building. The bell rang, I didn't wanted to enter the classroom and tried to go away, but all exits were closed or someone was blocking the way. I finally decided to enter it. There were all people I knew from previous and present school. There was also my previous maths teacher. I couldn't find myself a place in this whole mess, but I finally managed to do it. The teacher first asked everyone about homework, I didn't had it, and only few people had it. Despite that, the teacher - a dark haired, slim and tall female in late thirties - said that the class was actually getting better with maths all the time. After the lesson finally ended I went out and joined up with my group. Feeling somewhat weird within them I moved aside, first to younger group and then moved back completely.

D1 - With my daughter on holiday she is little in the dream (always lol) my sister is here also. Me and Poppy decide to go and enjoy the last days of our holiday at the beach, away from all the hussel and bussel. I see it in my minds eye as fairly deserted and sandy.
We are walking through a town when we are stopped by newspaper stall guy, with a thick moustache and greasy black hair. He and his colleage try and sell us some smokes.
They are selling slithers of chocolate in a silver wrapping, apparently you can smoke it
I realise I really need to pee and so does Poppy, so we go look for somewhere.
There is a cubicle and I go in after Poppy, but when I go in the door falls open. Outside the door are a load of school girls, I recognise one of them as someone I know, but she is a teenage girl (How sweet, such big eyes, hahahaaa) she says really loudly looking first at me then her friends, "Oh there is the super cute boy!!!". I feel super happy.
The cubicle is then completely falling apart at other side now, I have a pee quickly and get out lol.

D2 - At my mum's apartment (she doesn't have one in real life, that I know of lol)
She is not there. I am looking for something while i'm staying away from home. I need to be really stealthy as there are secuirty red laser thingys.
There is a large wooden coffee table and things are everywhere on the table and floor, like someone has already been searching for something. But I think nothing of it.
I search through everything, and decide to find her tarot cards as I feel I need them.
There are two sets, one is really vivid and multicoloured. I find one card it is a picture of a giant wave, it is abstract so a bit hard to tell but i really like it. It has a lovely bright acrylic blue but also white and red.
It is beautful and evocative filling me with vibrant emotions

Elainey keeps saying I have a lot of water in my dreams, so I named it water as both dreams have some in,
Sync This morning Siren sent me this link:

Preface:
I did some different type of awareness exercises yesterday. No mantras, just awareness. Being, and breathing. Interesting...as I was able to recall one really long dream, instead of a bunch of different ones like usual. I think I like this.

DR 1

So I am in a HUGE, really nice house. I am supposed to be house sitting in my friends' absence. Some not so good friends of mine have convinced me that I should have a house party. Not just any party- but a huge party- (In my mind, its a huge party, like the one form the movie "Project X"). I am weary, but my girl entourage goes about making plans in the background. The place slowly starts filling up but I am not into it. I'm looking a t a bookshelf of encyclopedias, which I haven't seen in ages. I'm kind of taken by them. One of my guy friends is carrying on a conversation with me but I'm only half listening. He's holding a collection of about 8 bandannas, all different colors. I halfway wonder what he's going to do with those, but he keeps talking about some girl he is interested in. I'm not really listening because I am too busy looking for the encyclopedia that would have Belly dance in it. Its missing. So I skip that and look for Dance. As I'm looking for it, the guy kind of tells me that he's not going to pursue the girl anymore..and out of a kind of disappointment, gives me a pink bandanna. I'm like, ok - did i miss something? He is my friend, but I feel that I know he goes through that kind of stuff all the time so I am not concerned with how he feels about some random girl.

Meanwhile, people are partying all over the place- drinking alcohol, dancing and getting wild. I'm totally not feeling it, but I'm also not caring. Just letting people do whatever, and... walking around like I have all the money in the world, so I care less what is being destroyed. Then I come to one of the master bedrooms, and its COMPLETELY trashed. The level of trash finally upsets me and I start telling my entourage that people need to start getting the f*ck out of here. Its all done so politely and is hilarious to me in my mind. When most of the people are gone and the bedroom is empty, there are shoes- loads of shoes everywhere. The bed mattresses have been derailed and they are on the floor. I remember telling the girls that they will have to clean those and then replace them because I need a place to sleep tonight.

There is so much trash everywhere that I can hardly walk. Loads of trash and shoes, all kinds of sizes everywhere. I find a trash bag and I start to try to collect all of the shoes when I see these two guys and a girl taking pictures. That's when I get rude and tell them they have to leave now. I'm really pissed because I am so angry at the amount of shoes people just left here. I am walking behind them and showing them out. The go outside and I notice a painting on one of the walls beside the kitchen back door. Its periwinkle blue with a dainty flower. Someone has spilled some kind of concoction on it so I think I should fix it. I magically get a paintbrush and paint, and start to paint. I fix the periwinkle color so perfectly- it goes on well and I don't need to retouch the flower. I am happy with it- the content feeling I got from last night's dream is back.


Side Note:

For the past two nights I have been content doing things...crafty projects and such in my dreams. Yesterday it was the Christmas tree decorating and today its painting. I am getting this content feeling, like I have a flow of energy while doing something. This seems really nice. I also get this feeling when doing these kinds of things in real life.

Okay I blame exams week and the release of KSP 1.1 for all this.

Night 9:

-Fragment. I FA'd and I had pooped in the bed.

-Something to do with going to the library. I remember they had this big rack of these little tiny books about the size of 3x5 cards and only a few pages long. Each one of them had a blue cover and yellow text that read "stories of lucid dreaming". I opened up a few of them. I don't remember what they were about.

I ended up checking out one of these 'stories of lucid dreaming books'. I took it home. The story was written by a little kid and when I read it it talked about how he dreamed that lego star wars battle droids were attacking him. I got bored with the story pretty quickly, and decided to make tea and play KSP, but when I opened the cupboard, millions of lego star wars battle droids poured out.

The dream ended with me trying to get all of them out of a coffee mug so I could make my tea.

I was walking through the liquor store with my boyfriend when two guys from my Hinduism class I took the last semester I was in college walked by. They started talking to my boyfriend. I didn't know they knew each other. That was unexpected. While they talked I walked through looking at the liquor. I didn't see any that I wanted so I quickly walked out. My boyfriend and the guys thought I had heard them say something offensive so they sent me an email e-card with caricatures of the three of them talking as consolation.

I am with my wife and we drive to a house I do not know. When we are in that house began to prepare for a boat trip, we have to do many things and prepare lots of luggage. It is also in the house my cousin (who died long ago), and he is dedicated to sabotage all the preparations. It is assumed that we were going to take the car on the boat and there were more cars, but my cousin does something that prevents cars can get into the boat. In the end, because of my cousin, we can not make the trip and we have to stay at home. Then we start to do a job for someone in that house and when we finished, we sat at a table with my cousin and more people to chat. I realize that my cousin runs nasty looks at my wife (his eyes strikes me) and I get angry, I discuss with my cousin and scolding him for doing that. At the end I get it apart and we leave them alone.

Fragment:

I have done a great snack that has a very appetizing appearance. People who are me want to eat it, but I try to prevent this from happening.

This morning I remembered two fragments:

1. We have to read a book in English class, it is one of the great "classics" that everyone has to read, but I don't remember the title. The teacher and all the other students are sitting at one big square table. I'm the only one that's free to walk around. I sit down on the floor in a corner and try to figure out on which page they are. The teacher is reading out loud. When I go through the pages of the book I see that the first part of it is normal text, the second part is in cartoon form. I think "That's a nice way to make this boring stuff more enjoyable for young people".

2. There's an assignment that we have to work on. I wonder if I really have to, and what would happen if I didn't. The teacher tells me that it's not an obligation but it would be good if I did show my willingness to work.
