non-lucid

19/2/16:
Dream 1: I was at my house with some friends and we were playing around with a mini basketball. We had a little hoop set up on the wall and we were playing around lightheartedly 2v2. I got the ball and managed to jump up and dunk, brushing the roof as I did so. They all seemed pretty impressed with that. The game stopped as someone went off to get pizza so I went on a computer. A few ads for Samsung and stuff popped up and it looked suspiciously like a virus, so I went to my mum and asked her if she had downloaded anything recently. She seemed to be in denial but I thought she had.

Dream 2: The dream started with a film like showing of a ship travelling around to a small island evading destruction by an enemy ship. When they landed however the crew was only around a dozen and the inhabitants of the island killed them. It then zoomed forward to the present where my brother and I were going to be part of the replacement crew. We were waiting at the dockyards with a hundred or so other guys when the ship pulled up and all of these escorts came tumbling out. One of them wound her way over to my brother and I and started talking with us. She seemed to have a great sense of humour and connected with my brother well. They planned to go off together but I had an inkling, given what happened before, that the escorts would end up killing us all. I told this to my brother but he shrugged it off and explained he was willing to take the risk. They went off and I'm not sure what happened to them.

Fragment: I made some joke online and people from Beijing, which pissed off one of my friends who was from there until she realized it was a joke.

I'm skipping a chunk of the dream to the part that stood out to me the most. I was at a school made for unique people with special abilities. My cousin was present and had mentioned to me in the halls how she was somehow going to persuade a teacher to like her. I decided to leave her alone and walked around until I stumbled upon a lucid dreamer guy who was talking about how his lucid dreaming was way beyond others and how his schedule or something like that helped him.

I walked away from him because he was getting a bit over his head. Suddenly someone who I believed to have a past with walked up to me. I was telling them that they didn't have to cross paths with me again if that wasn't what they wanted. Than I was starting to doubt what I said. I realized it was wrong so I shook my head and told them to go on without me.

Afterwards creatures were released into the school. It became an emergency situation but one where our true abilities would show. Two small shadows were flying around and so I decided to change them. I put my hands in the air and called out "love burst!". Suddenly flowers/frilly stuff flew into the air.

It was working at first but than somehow my powers backfired and we were trapped in colorful taffy. The good creatures told me not to worry about it though.

2.18.16

5am-1pm shift yesterday. Nap most of the afternoon and night. Dream recalled just before 4am.

(This one was few days ago: I'm on some tour in North Korea. We walk around and have some meals. The tour guide is suspucious of me because apparently that is my second consecutive tour and they think I'm a spy)

Today:
DR 1:
I am living on a top floor of a scryscraper. Some residents are talking in a hallway about safety. Somehow we find out that they cut corners while building the structure and someone said they inspected the part that is still under construction and there are parts of walls and support structures missing. The building can crumble at any moment. I feel the urgency and me and my mom start packing.

We make it to the ground. I look up at the cloudy night sky and I can see the unfinished part of the building starts to shake and buckle. I yell "look it's coming down" and parts of it are starting to rain down. I see people holding on to it while falling. Now I am one of the falling ones. We ar really high up and I'm liking it. My stomach starts to feel like on a roller coaster and I'm enjoying the fall. I wonder if I will finally hit the ground, as I never do in any of my lucid falls (this was non-lucid).

There was lot more details in the building and on the ground before and after this, but they are all so vague.

I'm talking to someone, I think it's AURON. Looking at some readouts from my dream stats. There is one line of text in blue, looking like a URL link. I say "oh ok, it's blue, looks like I was lucid then, when I "went" to fall with others, because I love falling."

DR 2:

There is a body of water with some monster keeping hostages on some floating structure. The traffic is closed off nearby so police can take care of this.

I'm sitting in a huge orange/yellow construction truck and I aim it straight down an almost vertical slope heading for the water. Some of my friends does some magic and makes the slope slippery with snow and ice. I gun it and drive the truck in the water. I poke a tiny needle hole into the monster and he slowly deflates.

DR 3:

I'm at the airport carrying people in my cab. With another cabbie we decide to take some passenger and his luggage.

I was in school. It was a lesson with our new teacher - a short, slim blonde in late thirties. She had a bit ugly face. She told to me about some kind of poster with my picture that was popular. I didn't knew what she was talking about.

Later that day I was in home, and saw that teacher in my sister's room. She was browsing the web. I asked her about that poster, and she said that everyone asked who I am and that I looked great on it. I asked if someone posted it on the web, but she said that no.

I went to talk with my younger sister. She was writing something. We take until our mother appeared. I realized that everyone in this room was naked, so I went to take some clothes. I went to toilet, and after a while all the family joined me there for some reason.

1) It feels like Victorian times. I'm stitching up a corpse ready for burial doing a complicated suture up the chest. I'm in an old stone building. At one point a woman is watching me, she's been watching me for a while so I follow her and eventually see her face, I'm satisfied that she is nothing to worry about as she disappears through a door. I'm back to sewing up the corpse - I certified him dead, but then I see his face move and realise I got it wrong and he is actually still alive.
From here the dream becomes a nightmare. The corpse vanishes and I feel an evil presence behind me as if he has come back from the dead and start to feel very afraid. I tell myself it's a nightmare and that I have to face it (I'm not lucid but some sort of memory about facing your fears in a dream) and it's not real. Then I wake up. AT LAST A HINT OF LUCIDITY?!?!

2) I knock a pint of beer onto myself whilst seated at a table. My immediate thought is 'who did that?' then I realise it was myself. Then I have walked to a different location and I find myself talking to a woman about the spilt drink as if her child had spilt it over me and saying it's ok. Looking behind her I see a glass screen and realise that we are at a holiday camp and I tell her that we aren't here this year but have booked to come for a whole week next year.

3) Another dream - I woke up after and remembered it well but didn't write any reminders down! All forgotten now.

4) I'm in a queue with 2 female characters (?family) and we are waiting to have XRays taken. A woman is stood at a desk checking us in, collecting valuables and shoes. Eventually it's my turn. I ask her if I need to hand in my watch and she decides that I should so I give her my watch and shoes. She calls a doctor, we go together to a really bright airy carpeted room. I have a pot plant with me and explain that it's not well and I thought I should get it looked at. I give him the pot plant it's covered in a plastic bag with insects all over it. He puts the pot plant on the floor and gets ready to Xray it.

5) In my old consulting room chatting to a patient. He is telling me about a good new garden centre. I find myself explaining in detail why I won't be going there because I don't work here any more. I remember looking around the room seeing a lot of detail and having a very detailed discussion.

Highway
I'm driving a car in the Netherlands, somewhere at the edge of Amsterdam, going up to a highway. It's starting to rain quite heavily. I swerve a little bit because I wanted to move right towards the run up a bit too early, crossing a line. I move back to my own lane but a few seconds later I already have to move right again to go onto the highway. At first everything is fine, but then there is oncoming traffic. I appear to be headed in the opposite direction, though it doesn't cross my mind that it's my wrong doing. I stay on the left side, as the approaching vehicles are using the right lanes.

Fragment
> I'm with a group of people. We seem to all be sitting on a bunkbed. Someone is standing in front of it and is asking us a question as if this was a lecture. It's about the warning system for extreme weather. No one seems to know the answer. I know I know the answer, but I can't think of the correct word in English for the name of the system, though I know its workings. Matter of fact, I can't even think of the correct name in Dutch.

> There's something with a sort of library where I stayed for a few hours. I walk out of there, laptop in hand, but I gotta pay a type of parking fee. That fee seems to be in the range of 80 - 90 something (not sure which currency). It's a really high amount.

Expensive Chinese
I'm in the Chinese restaurant near work. The waitress comes by, gives me my check, and asks me to take care of it, then moves away. I go to the cash register, but no one is behind the counter. I wonder if by 'take care of it' she means I'm supposed to use the register myself to charge myself before leaving. I look at the receipt and am astounded to see that it's costing nearly $25 dollars for my lunch - I normally end up paying about $10 when I come to this place! I look over the receipt to see why it's so expensive and see that the meal itself cost $14 - surprisingly high - and my request to change the kind of noodle I got raised the price by another $10! That's crazy. I look around for a menu to see the prices, but I don't see one anywhere. I check the counter near the cash register to see if there are any take-out menus, and there are. I grab one and look over it, but I don't see anything about a cost for requesting changes.


Too many lefts
I'm in a parking lot in a commercial area, and I'm standing by my car. I'm thinking about how to get to my next stop and am unhappy that the best way to do it is to make a left out from here, a left at the corner, a left at the next corner, and a left into the next parking lot. I hate left turns, especially in crowded areas like this (downtown somewhere). I realize that there are no roads crossing between where I am now and where I'm going, and it's not that far, so I decide just to walk.


Saving Roland
I'm playing a game. Somehow it feels like a first-person shooter, though my perspective is actually from over head. I get a transmission from Roland asking for my urgent assistance. Sure enough, by the time I get to him, he's already dead. I don't know if that's a scripted event or because I took too long, so I restart the section. This time, I hurry to him and arrive in time to save him, but a sniper ends up killing me. I try again, this time arriving in time to save him and managing not to get shot. I take him with me as we circle a large warehouse-like building, eventually returning to near where I started.


Borrowing tools
I'm doing yard work at my house, and I've walked over to ask my neighbors for a 'chop chop.' Their whole family - both parents and their daughter - is out front, and I end up talking to them for a few minutes. They moved in fairly recently and I haven't spoken to them much, though in the past they did offer that I could borrow tools from them any time I needed to. They have a vaguely foreign look to them, though I can't peg where they're from.


Costco renewal
I'm at Costco getting ready to check out, and I know that my membership will need to be renewed soon. I notice that one of the membership people has put a yellow folder onto the checkout counter and know that it's my account info. Sure enough, the cashier adds the new membership to my bill, which boosts an already-high bill even higher. After paying with my Amex, he immediately tosses the credit card into a burn bin since I'll be getting a replacement card soon. I'm not happy: that's the card I use day-to-day, and 'soon' isn't 'now.' It's one of those trash cans that's only got a slit on top, so there's no way to get the card back out.

Now I'm filling out the paperwork for the renewed membership. There are lots of name fields, and I start off by putting down my name, my wife's name, and my online handle. I realize that last one isn't appropriate for this kind of thing, so I erase it. I wonder if I'm supposed to put all my kids' names on the form, but that doesn't make sense for a shopping card when they're so young. I look at the back of the form and see a different grid. I wonder if I'm only supposed to fill out one of the two sections. The instructions are very unclear.


Fragments
I'm watching a couple sitting at a large event in Brazil. Some fireworks are being set off, and I see a rocket whiz past their heads.

I'm leading my family and the T's kids through a maze of hallways with moving sidewalks. Later we're outside.

18/2/16:
Dream 1: For some reason I decided in the night to try to apply for theatre school. I went on their website and opened up the application form, but there were a whole heap of questions about Shakespeare like which play was this certain helmet used in or whatever so I gave up and went out to the kitchen and got a drink.

Dream 2: I was eating dinner and then I unpacked the dishwasher, for some reason there was a yellowed newspaper rolled up in their. I asked my mum why that was in there and she said she was using the dishwasher to get the plastic off of old newspapers. I didn't understand but didn't care lol.

Dream 3: I was walking near a train station when the boom gates went down, except no train had come after about 20 seconds. Some cars started driving around them, but I was yelling at them not to as a train was coming. There was something about a wild monkey appearing.

Fragment about a fight.

The dream began when i was walking near some pond or lake.. i saw like maybe 6m long and very thin snake.. it was black and it did not look really dangerous. While i was watching her.. she springed herself.. jumped 15m into the water, grabbed something and sprung back.. i was like.. whaatt? Later i was searching for this snake with somebody else, i was trying to show it to this person. But instead we have found another snake.. a big one! it looked like a 25m long anaconda. The snake just opened her eyes and saw us looking at her. We said to ourselves "maybe it is better to leave this place" and not until now we have found out that there were a million snakes around us. From big ones to the smallest. All the place was just covered with snakes.. what we thought it was the grass.. well it wasnt. It was millions of little snakes that were shaped like grass.. we started to run away from this place..
But the big anaconda had her plans as well.. she started to chase us. The terrain was covered with mud it was a swamp.. so it was hard to run. The other guy was faster than me.. he disappeared quickly. And the anaconda was getting closer and closer.. i tried to go faster but i could not. I looked back a few times and it got clear, that she will get me.. soon.. i still tried to run and i was thinking.. "ooh.. if I only had a knife with me" While running i searched my pants pockets and i found one.. it was not the biggest hunting knife i was hoping to find.. it was a swiss pocket knife.. well, better than nothing. I picked the biggest blade it had to offer.. looked back.. and stopped. The snake went for my leg.. her head was huge and she bit my whole leg! But funny thing was, that i was super calm! at the moment she bit my leg.. i just hammered my knife into her head. I broke her skull and she was killed with a single blow.. well it was a really hard hit. I decapitated the snake.. took her head and went home.. to warn the others about this place..

I had a series of short dreams where I became semi Lucid...

I remember trying to get a tattoo as a tribute to my boyfriend. In the dream I had a hard time describing what I wanted, I kept changing details thinking that's what I wanted.

The scenery was winter, cold, snowing and bitter. I remember trying to fly across a frozen pond, thinking that I knew it was a dream and that all I had to do was believe in order to fly properly. I had subconscious doubt which made me falter in my flight but I made it across the pond non the less.

There was also a couple puppies but I don't remember much after that.

D1 - At school, after lessons, there is some festival? on.Everyone is congregated into a smallish space. Lots of bustling,
two school children tell me that S is looking for me, and they want to help raise money for her. I follow them only to find out they are scamming me. I am very cross, and look for them but they're are way to many people and I can't see them anywhere. I decide to spend the afternoon looking through the building for them. Another teacher says he had similar problem.

D2 - I am lying on the ground talking into an old style black phone, with swirly cord. I am allowed to ask questions of someone.
Questions they would never normally ask about themselves. For every question I ask, I take one bullet from a gun. I ask stilted questions as its a bit difficult to focus when you've been shot. Each time I am getting holes torn into me. Soon enough I receive a fatal bullet. I do not care and am happy to sacrifice my life for the answers. I dramatically spray into a grey powder, loads of black dots on closer examination. Leaving powder in the air and black peices that are left of me.

1) I am in the grden of the house I was brought up in. I want to fly as high as possible then free fall back to the ground. I fly up but realise I'm not as high as I thought as I can still touch the ground, so I go higher, I can see the top of a tree next to me. Then I move across and touch the top of the roof of the house and look at the tiles and move around it. Next I'm in an upstairs bedroom with an open window in front of me and I run and jump out of it trying to believe that I can fly and won't just drop to the ground. I look down at the ground and can fly as I expected.

2) Lots of little fragments: Driving through a field and the corn is just starting to grow, a road has been cut through the middle of it. I get somewhere and am sitting in the car, i think it is one of the local villages, not sure why I'm there. The radio is on. Then I talk to a man and demonstrate something to him, he's not very impressed. then a vague memory of playing around with a computer and the video card.

I was in a city. It was a sunny morning. With a girl from my class we took a bus to school, but suddenly it took a totally different way. We got out of it and saw the correct bus driving and stop nearby. In order to get to it, we had to cross the road. The traffic was terrible, and as I crossed the street I felt weaker. I almost fallen on the road, the bus got away.

Suddenly I found myself in school, inside a classroom. It was an English lesson with an old, irritating man. When it was over I decided to go outside - out seemed that school is placed inside my house. I met my maths teacher - a black haired woman in later thirties. She told me that she was wrong shouting at me week ago. Then she asked me what's another name for pharmacology specialist. I didn't knew what she was talking about, but I said a pharmacist. She said that I'm right and went away. There was something wrong about her - it wasn't the teacher but her twin. There were two the same women wandering around the school.

I entered the building. It was a twisted maze of corridors and staircases leading to classrooms. I wandered around, trying to find my class. People on the corridor wanted something from me, but I ignored them. Finally I found the right classroom and had a lesson with that irritating man again. I thought "F***!" and sat near the same girl I met in the bus.

Canal jump
I can't recall the beginning of this dream. I'm somewhere in London it seems, trying to get to my (taekwondo?) class. The city has been overgrown somewhat by plants and the infrastructure has crumbled. It's sort of post-apocalyptic, except for the fact that there are still people. At some point I have to cross a canal. I think this is where the dream started. I'm swimming in the canal, going upstream. In my left helft I'm holding a loaf of sliced bread, wrapped in plastic. From somewhere (perhaps a voice over) I hear the information that the Chinese dump their poop in this canal, on the left side from my perspective. I can see the poop floating by on my left, going downstream. There's a clear border until where the poop is floating. My bag with bread is floating away from me a bit, crossing the poopborder. One of the floating poops touches my bread. Fuck, no! Nasty! Am I still gonna take this bread with me? [This part of the dream was so freaking gross]. I continue upstream. I need to be on the left side, but there's no easy way to climb out of the water there, though there are some boats lined up to the side. I exit the canal on the right side. The wall is quite high, but I climb out easily.

A few metres further I'm standing at what used to be a bridge over the river. It's broken. All that's left are a few steps on this side and a few on the other, both sides quite overgrown with vegetation. I consider jumping to the other side, but it's clearly too far. Plus on this side the bridge is basically a set of stairs going down, making it impossible to get a good run up. There are 2 white guys standing with me. I'm not sure if we're talking in English or in Dutch, but I tell at least 1 of them that I need to get to taekwondo class, which started on the hour. I look at the watch the guy has on his left wrist. It's one with a white background. I can see that it's already 15 - 20 past the hour and that I'm late. I think it's slightly raining at this point. I look down at the river. There are massive tubes underneath the water surface, perhaps 1.5 metre orso. They have various colours, amongst others purple. I considered diving into the water from here, but if I do that I might hit the pipes. I also wonder for a moment how I didn't feel the pipes if I was swimming down there just now.

I'm back along the edge of the canal. My new plan is to jump back in the water and cross to the other side. One of the dudes throws my bag of bread in the water. No you idiot! He asks me why it's a problem, since I'm gonna swim anyway. I tell him that it's a problem cause he threw it in close to our edge of the water and I was gonna jump as far as I can so I wouldn't have to swim that far. I think he retrieves it for me. The stone edge with the water is just a step higher than the rest of the street. Perfect for a run up. There's a small box on it which I can use for extra height. I don't have much space to run though, perhaps 2 metres. From a position a bit further to the left I have more space to run. I consider running with a bow, but that's inefficient. Then I realise I can just move the box to the left, where I have slightly more space. I do so. There's a young kid playing around the box. His mom, who I think is on the other side of the canal on a boat, tells him to give me some space. A man with black hair who is turning bald is approaching from the left with 2 young girls. Somehow I'm under the impression that this guy is from an Eastern European country. He's about to get in my way. This isn't the best run up due to the people around me, but I decide to go for it anyways, as else I might have to wait for the guy and his girls to pass. I run with a slight curve to the right to avoid the guy and jump as far as I can. I had estimated that I would land halfway in the canal, but instead I make it all the way to the other side. Then I continue as if I was doing a parkour run. In the mean time I hear a voice. It feels like I myself am narrating something, but it is in an Eastern European language [I don't speak a single Eastern European language]. I have some fun and do a cork.

LEA MICHELE AND I WERE DATING IN MY DREAM LAST NIGHT.

Then she laughingly told me to brush my teeth.

Whatever, I still got to kiss her. AND WE WERE SO HAPPY TOGETHER.
