non-lucid

I used the Keyboard Technique w/ my fingers & had a dream that I was aware of being in a dream & could change things but I did not have the higher state of consciousness hence, I did not open my eyes when that ah-ha moment occurred which makes the LD not genuine. True lucidity has to have this. For some reason, a lot of ppl don't seem to get this concept. My dream was about my son who's home from college & we were in a house arguing & he hit me.... I have a good relationship w/ my son & this would never occur but do to bickering over my new cat who is being territorial & relieving herself on his bed, this has made for some tension lately but totally normal & understandable.

28/3/16: (Cracked the 100 dreams recalled this month yay!)
Dream 1: I was at a house, presumably my own, where the old neighbours had moved out and the new ones were just moving in. I went outside to greet them and saw them all siting around a table in the driveway having a picnic. I saw they were half chinese and half something else, for some reason I didn't go up to say hello but stood back and just watched them for a bit.

Dream 2: I was on a plane flight and I was supposedly the wealthiest individual in the world. I was probably in first class when the plane started juddering and shaking about. I asked a flight attendant what was going on and she said she didn't know. People around me were acting like we might be crashing and I tarted getting worried, so I cornered the flight attendant in a secluded spot and told her of my wealth, 10.7 trillion dollars, and that I could give her a substantial reward if she told me what was really going on. She told me that it was all a simulation, but to not tell the other passengers. I went back to my seat and the flight continued on as per normal. A little while later though the juddering started again, and then it appeared like the side of the plane got ripped off and a little kid got sucked out of the plane. Everybody screamed and panicked until the hole fixed itself and people realised it was just a simulation. Everyone began laughing nervously as we began to descend. We landed and as I got out I saw we were at Disneyland. I got off with my family and we started walking away. My brothers got a bit lost however but we managed to get reunited. We passed a small carousel which was shut down and being turned into an iron man ride.

Dream 3: I was travelling across China in a train and was looking out the window as we arrived and then departed from Nanjing.

I had a false awakening fragment where I thought I had remembered a few dreams and then went back to sleep.

I had another uneventful night due to my son being home from college & a dispute between him & my newly acquired cat over territory. But I am gonna take a nap & use the Piano Key Method. I fed my cat so she would nap & hopefully my son will stay in his own space since he stayed up all night.

I was walking in the woods. Everything seems great, like usual. But then I saw some houses, small buildings. I must have reached a village. There was someone there. I asked why is everyone inside. She replied that the sun was changing today, and I must hide somewhere to not be burned. I hid inside a small building. Through the windows, I see the sun moving really fast in the sky. The sky was yellow-ish and the sun was really really bright, reality-like bright. Then, it started to burst intense blue light, making it even brighter. I shut the window's blinds because I didn't want us to burn. Even with the blinds closed, a flash of white light came occurred. Then, everything was calm again. We opened the door to see what happened. The sky was red-ish and yellow, there was a new sun in the sky, replacing the old one! It was bigger and red. At was actually less bright, as I could watch it without burning my eyes. I decided to explore the rest of the woods. I was with the girl who told me to hide. The forest was going up, just like a hill. I saw one of my friend and I decided to go back.

I was in school, at usage of wood resource classes. I felt ill and almost slept on a table. The teacher mentioned incoming vocation exam. I took a pillow and a blanket from my backpack and tried to fall asleep while teacher said that me and two other people should stay in classroom, while others must go away. He was mad for some reason. I looked around the classroom. One dude have lost his hand and was changing bandages, while his pal was jus lightly injured. Other guy made his pal a prank, which enraged the teacher. He yelled at everyone, then took me for an exam that I still had to pass. I was highly unprepared, so I said that I'll finish it another time.

Later on during another lesson I was called to help some teacher, and when I wanted to get back to my current lesson, one of the teachers closed the doors. Luckily she opened them and I went to the classroom - it was somehow empty, with only few people inside. I took a seat and then teacher showed us movies with random creatures and their lairs, and we had to draw them in our notebooks.

Slept for almost 12 hours. Didn't write anything down when I woke expecting to remember the dreams but of course didn't so only remembered one.

1) Something about one of my children's teachers. She was living in a small one bed flat. I used it to sleep in, then a very old friend of mine turned up and wanted to sleep there. Then the teacher was there, I needed to sleep and she said I could, but her friend was also there and there were only two beds, but she would work something out. All a bit muddled.

Last night was crazy.. I passed out on my bed from extreme fatigue at 7:45ish, fully clothed with the lights all on and my cat in the room. I woke up between 12 and 1, slugglish and bleary-eyed. I chucked the cat out, went toilet, un-clothed myself and went back to bed. I think at this point I decided to write out the 'bomb' dream I had. I had a lot more dreams during the night though, A LOT. I got up in the morning at 8:15ish so I had roughly 12 hours of sleep. My head was swimming with a lot of dreams and I didn't really want to recall them all since I still felt tired.

Dream
I was at a house that was supposed to be where my friend is staying, Daniel. The place doesn't actually resemble it, it kind of reminds of his room when we were kids. I was going to stay the night so I set up on the couch in his room. I think the dream transitioned and we were driving somewhere, it was still night time. On the way I have an understanding that we've crossed a bridge heading away from the city centre and we're avoiding the area that has explosive mines. We arrived at a park, and I assume it was a some kind of party thing as there were other people arriving in the background. Another transition happened and I'm about to crash at Daniels place again (though it's a different place this time, probably more similar to my old room before moving to uni). I'm friggin tired (reminiscent of how tired I was before falling asleep to have this dream) and I collapse on his bed, I think he's lying down too. I get up and start setting up the couch so I can go to sleep. I pull a white sheet over the couch pillows and place a blanket and headpillows down too. I lie down and I'm on my laptop, and my friend Daniel is now a guy called Jamie, also on his laptop. For some reason we're both looking at porn on our browser, he comes over and tells me he can't watch porn anymore because his dad is calling him to have a game of Warlords Battlecry 3. He says that he assumed I wouldn't want to join because they're really good and that they'd thrash me, "Nah it'll be fine, I'll just stay in my base building an army or something" I say. I set up to play with them, but the dream setting changes to what part of the battlemap would look like. There's a huge sandy waste that descend into a pit, and we're kind of not really in Jamies room anymore. I think eventually it's obvious that we're outside at night too. Jamie is on the same side of the pit as me, and his dad is on the other side. It's sort of day time now too. Suddenly there's a huge BOOM. I immediately think that it's the mine field, but the sound was way too loud.. It must have been some kind of bomb? Looking towards the city centre there's a huge plume of smoke pluming into the sky, it wavers around a lot (it wasn't very realistic, but I didn't catch on). I spot a bit of black smoke a little closer to us, it's hard to make out though. I then realize that it's a shockwave of black smoke from the bomb that's radiating outwards from the bomb. Oh shit! I grab Jamie by the wrist and drag him with me as I run away. There's a modern block building that looks like it belongs to some company, I head towards it past the pit. I can't see where the dad is but I assume he's ok. The smoke wave is close now, it's gonna get us! I reach the building and yank open the doors as fast as I can just as the wave hits us. I remember thinking as well that just because I grabbed Jamie by the wrist he might think I'm gay, and that I'm not and I felt bad for misleading him or something.

D₁-Theres a shadow in the corner of my room on my ceiling and at first it was this furry thing that kept growling at me and then it turned into a cute black furry puppy that just wagged its tail at me.

Dream skip

D₂-Chase sent me a message on fb that was one of those memes about relationships and it said," pull her hair and slap her ass." Weird becuase our aquaintanship is nothing like that. Anyways back to the dream, he also put it as his status and a bunch of people liked it.

3.27.16

This is a small part of a loner dream.

We are walking on a dirt road. There is a ditch to the left which is filled with fast flowing flood water. The tiny baby goat or lamb jumps in it and I watch it in disbelief how it's being carried down the stream.

I look around but nobody is taking action. I don't really wanna do it but I just have to. I jump in the water and start paddling fast expecting to be getting close to the lamb. But I realize right away with a surprise, that this 5 feet wide ditch is filled with grass that grows in bunches like this.


The water is kinda cold and yellow murky from the mud it's carrying.
There is very little space between those bunches and I'm practically standing on top of them with very little room to swim.

I can't swim here at all, but thank god I see how the lamb had enough of it and it pulls itself out on the shore.
I get out too and I cuddle him in my arms as we keep walking.

Not really sure about feeling from this dream. Maybe being inadequate.

27/3/16:
Dream 1: I woke up remembering one word. Zombies. I think there was a magazine story about it and my relatives were coming over.

Dream 2: I was at my old house preparing the house for when my relative were coming over. My mum cooked dinner which we ate, then I went back to cleaning but as I pulled back a chair a whole bunch of spiders came pouring out. I tried stamping on them but it wasn't working too well. I ran off and got a poison sprayer and fired it at them. It killed them, but it got stuck on and I started feeling suffocated. I ran outside and threw the poison away and walked around the side of the house. It was raining, and I found my mum walking around there barefoot and looking dazed. I asked her what she was doing and she seemed too shellshocked to reply so I brought her back inside.

Dream 3: I can't remember the beginnings of this one, but I gave a short, sharp pump up speech and then grabbed a light bulb hanging down on a chin in front of me and ripped it off. This violent action woke me up lol.

My son is home college for a week & my husband is my priority on the wknd's. Therefore I was jump started awake by family & had no way to remember my dream because others hindered me... so frustrating.

No recall, zero, for the last 2 nights.
Had a strange one last night not sure how to classify it!

1) I was talking to my wife in bed, she said something about throwing a pillow (or cushion?) off to the side and it would be strange if it moved on its own. I thought, no, that would be fun because it would be supernatural. Then I was WILDing (in the dream) and it was working I heard really loud noises, quite deafening, and I felt myself vibrating all over. I thought at last! it's working, it's frightnening but it's working, I remembered everything I have been told and tried to think of a dream scene, that didn't work. I went with it for a while and tried to move my dream body to get an OBE, but that didn't work. Then I tried force my eyes open remembering that I should enter a dream that way. I couldn't so I started to panic. I tried to move but realised I was paralysed and the noises and vibrations were getting more intense. I could sense my wife next to me and I could here her talking, and someone else talking the other side of me, I thought my wife must be dreaming as well. Then I force my eyes open and I could see my wife but I still couldn't move and I still had really loud noises happening and I thought this isn't right I'm stuck in some sort of weird state and might never get out of it - it was either a nightmare false awakening or a sleep paralysis that seemed to go on forever. Then I think I woke up properly, it was midnight, and was able to move, it all went silent at last.

2) Finding a seat in a canteen, I moved to another room in the canteen and sat next to an old lady she looked all alone and she was quite angry. Next I was sta at a table for some reason I was handed a sample in a sealed glass jar, I put it down and it smashed. A nurse told me to fix the bottle with sticky tape and it would be fine, so I did.

3) I was moving towards a big gate in a Star Wars type scene. There were storm troopers moving toward me and I was shooting them and I hit a few and they fell.

4) Racing a car around a dirt track

5) In a bank, someone else arrived and was annoyed becasue they wanted to rob the bank and I already had, so they went away.

6) An old childrens playhouse that I was trying to burn. It had a load of other old wood on top of it. It wasn't burning well, so I was trying to put dry tinder under the roof to get it going better. There was someone inside and I just managed to get them out as the fire took. I looked back and the firewood on top still wasn't burning very well. The detail in this dream was very good.

7) In a football stadium, can't remember too much, but I was more concerend about what was happening in the terrace and never looked down becasue I'm not interested in football. In the same dream I was thinking about which girl I fancied as if I was about 18 again, and I was writing down on 2 pages in a book something about myslef, and something about the girl I fancied to compare us, for her I wrote a phrase 'Don't be such a dipstick Charlie Brown', not sure why.

26/3/16:
Dream 1: I was learning a new language using a new and experimental technique for it. I was waiting around in public trying to find someone to talk to and practice my language skills but no one was stopping for me.

Dream 2: I was creating a new cartoon to help kids learn French. The show was similar in style to Archer but obviously for educational purposes. Following it they would learn a new word every day.

I'm at what's supposed to be the airport in Jakarta. I've just arrived here, standing somewhere outside. Since I'll be moving next month, this is a great opportunity to scout ahead a bit. Which bus to take, stuff like that. I've got two fairly sized bags with me. After a few seconds I notice they both have wheels. Sweet, that's gonna save me a lot of trouble. I see my regular size backpack on the ground. I can just put that one on my back then. Somewhere in this dream I think of what a waste of money this actually is. I'm here right now to do what exactly? Then I'll fly back to the Netherlands, only to return again a month later. I guess I can at least leave some stuff here, make it easy on myself.

I walk around a bit. At one end there seems to be some type of fair. I have a very short conversation with someone about what lies further on. Apparently just old junk, old airplanes and potentially old bombs. Guess I won't be checking out old airplanes then. At some point this turns into the funeral for I think the father of a guy I know, Erwin. There are quite some people. People raise their hand and suddenly there's fireworks. One of the arrows doesn't make it and falls back to the ground, setting the grass ablaze. People start scrambling around. I run towards one of the many large grey (trash) bins made out of steel, with a fair amount of sand in it. I grab it and then run towards one of the many fire patches on the grass. My classmate is here, telling me that the sand won't be enough to extinguish the fire. I put the bin on top of the fire anyway, up side down. I tell her the lack of oxygen will extinguish the fire. It works. Then on to the next one.

Sometime after this event my classmate accuses me of having scrambled for my own life, instead of doing something. Are you kidding me? I went to grab a bin to extinguish fires. I ask my other classmate to please back me up on this.

Had some more dreams with classmates and also a lecturer, but that's quite a bit to write down.

I've been reading a lot about mnemonic memory techniques & came to the conclusion that for me I don't want a scripted list. Instead all throughout my day I look at things, especially ones with motion & say what color they are, what material it is made of & what motion it creates. Exp: Black fan, spins, has metal on it & then I visual the motion & possible other motions it stimulates in my brain.... WBTS method this morning & did not have a LD but I was thinking about my dream house & instead of dreaming about that I did dream of another house with many stairs & all of the ppl including myself had abilities & the colors & details of my dream were much sharper due to using my own technique.
