non-lucid

Wow, this is late. Curse school and my laziness. Why do you have to take up all my time with homework that has few benefits and leave me unmotivated right afterwards? Anyways, late is better than never.

-------------------------

I first "woke up" on a beach of an island with white sand next to a clear, aqua blue ocean which dipped off into a deep, navy blue around fifty feet off the shore. The sky was a bright, sky blue with a few clouds scattered here and there. Behind me was a tall, tropical forest with many trees. I stood up and instantly noticed I was standing on all fours and surprisingly, it felt natural. I rushed over to the water only to find out my reflection was that of a black dragon. I stood there in shock for a little while and after examining my reflection closer, I noticed I lacked wings. Despite this, I tried to fly anyways... only to fall on face. I then focused on my tail to see if I could move it and surprisingly I was able to wag it. I looked back to where I first "gained consciousness" and saw a polka-dotted, blue bindle bag next to where I was. I walked over and untied the bag and saw there was a plastic bag with many styrofoam to-go boxes inside with Chinese food. I retied the cloth into a bag and slung it around my neck and on my back. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to head into the forest.

While walking through the forest, the forest slowly changed from a tropical one to a more temperate one. I then came across a forest clearing which contained a village full of humans. The village consisted of many small stick huts and large farming fields. By this time, it had become nighttime and the full moon was up and countless stars dotted the black sky. I quickly bound towards the village hoping they would provide me with shelter and food, but before I could enter, the villagers noticed me and screamed. The villagers then picked up pitchforks, torches, shovels, hoes, and many other tools they had lying around and attacked me full of wrath. Out of fear, I ran away, tripping a few times due to not being completely used to running on four legs and soon enough, I was back where I started.

It was still nighttime and with no place to go, I decided to rest where I was on the beach when I saw two green, bipedal, lizard men coming from the left. They both had three digits for their hands and feet, two horns coming from the back of their head, and the section from their lower jaws to the bottom of their abdomen was a lighter shade of green from the rest of their body. They each were holding two zigzagged blades in both hands and were wearing a brown, leather bag on a strap which hung from there shoulder to the opposite hip. They also wore a brown leather tool belt around their waist with many small bags. I got up and faced them. They seemed to be slightly startled when they saw me and for a few moments, we just stared at each other. The lizard people then turned their heads towards each other and nodded. They then beckoned me to follow them. And so I did.

We walked along the shore of th beach until we came across a cave in a smooth, gray cliff-side. Running out of the cave, was a stream whose water had a golden tint and glow to it. We walked into the cave whose inside was lit up by light-sources I couldn't see. Soon, the cave split into three different paths. One of the lizard men nodded at me and then headed down the left the path while the other headed down the right path. I went down the middle path which lead to a somewhat small room with a stone chair in the center. Over the back wall was a hole in which I could see the ocean and night sky outside. Since I was quadruped now, I couldn't use the chair and had to "sleep" on the floor in the back of the room, but before I did, I set the bag I had around my neck on the back wall.

I spent the next few "days" with the two lizard people who showed me many island landmarks such as some ruins in a cliff-side, a coral reef, a large rock in the middle of the forest, a fruit orchard, etc. or swimming around the island, doggy-style while they were hunting. Whenever it was dinner or lunch I would untie my bindle bag and eat a little of the Chinese food I had when I first gained consciousness on the island due to the fact I couldn't bear the idea of going out and killing things for my food. I would also drink the golden stream water as a drink as it turned out to be fresh. One "day", while walking on the beach alone, I came across a human girl who was all alone. She seemed to be in her early twenties, had light skin and straight, black hair, and wore a tattered dress. Due to the hospitality of the two lizard people, I decided I wanted to show that hospitality with the girl. I approached her and surprisingly, she wasn't scared. I beckoned towards her and she followed me to the back of the back wall of my room in the cave which I discovered while swimming around the island one "day". The cliff-side still made a roof over behind the wall, so she still could get shelter. I then went into my room only to see her knock down my blue, polka-dotted bag therefore losing all the food I had in the to-go boxes. She followed up by knocking down and breaking the water filter which provided the golden, fresh water in the cave. I was shocked. Then, in a fit of rage, I roared at her causing her to run off. After calming down a bit, I was filled with shame. I ruined the water source of the very people who helped me when nobody would. With no food, I decided it would be best if I left the island.

So, I swam away from the island in search of food and other islands. I traversed many tropical islands, which were all pretty similar to the island I "awoke" upon, caught some fish with my jaws of which I felt very guilty afterwards, and even saw a whale one time before finally waking up from what seemed to be a nearly endless dream.

Terrible night's sleep x_x

Shower
I'm in the shower at my student home. It should be on the right side of the hallway, but it is on the left. For some reason the lights aren't working and the drain is clogged. The water is nearly pouring everywhere and there's also foam everywhere. The door is also open. I guess this means we're gonna have to call the landlord. Tough luck for my housemate who is afraid of the landlord. I'm wearing a white bathrobe and I'm pretty much wading in water.

A muscled blonde guy comes through the hallway and goes into the room on the other side. Is that Allard? It's not, cause he has the wrong hair colour and his room isn't the room which he is entering, but I don't realise that. He walks by again, this time without a shirt and I think a towel on top of his head. Abs, damn! I bet he works out every morning. A lawyer or something along those lines is waiting for him. The lawyer got in by telling his brother or friend that he was also a friend of the guy, while actually he's not.

I am in my literacy class. In that class we all have nicknames made up by the teacher. My nickname is Poly sci. The teacher is talking to me about "poly sci" and "mono sci" and how poly means many and mono means one.
It is the same dream. A few of my classmates are opening late Christmas presents in large boxes. I don't feel jealous that much. We go to the school library, but it's the library that was in my Elementary school. One of my friends is there with a box full of cookies. I ask her if they taste good and she says that they do. I take one and eat it. It is blueberry flavored. My other friends take cookies too, and I wonder why they have chocolate cookies and I have blueberries.
We are back in the classroom again, sitting at tables with atlases. My dad then walks up to me, and I start yelling at him. I am extremely mad at him for some reason. Once I am finished yelling at him, I see my mom in the distance shaking her head, and my friend seated next to me, a surprised look on her face.
I am at my house, a different dream. The plot is that there's something going on with people getting fed a poisoned drink. I am in the basement, and a man is trying to talk to me. I start walking towards the stairs when he collapses, dead, against me. I ask my brother who the culprit is, and he tells me something about the maid from the book/movie "The Help". I walk upstairs and hear the doorbell ring. Seconds later I can hear the man outside the door talking, telling me that he is going to break into out house. I wonder if I should hide and tell dad. At the last second I race around into the garage and tell dad. (Although I wonder if I should talk to him because of how mad I was at him before.) Dad slowly walks to the front door where he tells me that he recognizes the man at the door as one of his friends.
My mom is telling me that my cousin is sick again. She seems angry at him because she is talking in an irritated voice. She tells me that my cousin is worried about his later careers (he's only eleven!) Apparently he is lactose intolerant and people don't hire lactose intolerant people. Then my Aunt buts in and says that he was worried about his careers because of "The Rummage." I know she is talking about the rummage we had last summer. She says that the rummage was "the king".
I thought it was kind of cool that I remembered my anger at my dad from a completely different dream. Hopefully it's a sign of being more observant

In the first dream, I was walking down the street at night when I found a girl, who I offered to help escort home since it seemed like some guy was chasing her. She led me to a trailer where she lived and showed me inside, and I remember being introducted to her parents, and the whole trailer suddenly shaking. She explained that there was a curse upon her family that was summoning two different ghosts, one was the "Tricker" and one was the "Killer." She explained that when she let new people into her trailer, it summoned one of them at random. The ghost who identified himself as the "tricker" appeared and explained that he was harmless, but if I hung out with this girl for too long it would summon the "Killer" ghost. I remember feeling like this dream was some sort of movie, because it seemed to feel like it was following a plotline and I knew that it would probably have a conclusion.

I remember trying to get more information about why she was cursed from her, but then suddenly the killer ghost, who took the appearance of an older woman appeared and I felt myself explaining to the girl that I understood that this ghost didn't want to hurt us, and was cursed and forced to kill people. We managed to escape from her, but suddenly ran into the "tricker" ghost who also was suddently coming after us. As we opened a door to escape, the "killer" ghost was right there, and the tricker ghost explained that the killer ghost was too old and frail to catch us, and she needed his help to capture us. That's when I woke up.

The next dream I was near a street I usually hang out at in real life, but it was now being turned into a mall and all the shops were being re- arranged. I went to a comic book store, and all the people I know from there were there and five random new people and we were about to start a session of Dungeons and Dragons, but that's when I woke up.

In the last dream I was reading Simpson's comics and that's all I did for like 5 minutes. I remember them not really having a plot, but just being Bart Simpson doing things like riding a balloon that looked like a cat and spray painting on the chalk board.

3/2/16:
Dream 1: I was with family going to all these streets full of big houses which contain heavy metal band based houses and rides and stuff. We walked into one where a tour was happening with guitar playing in the background. There was some sort of ride in there and then we walked back out of the house. My brother got the nickname jerefin, there's more to it but I've forgotten.

Dream 2: I was trying to get my younger brother to go to school. He had disappeared so I walked outside the house trying to find him. I walked down a hill to where the train station was and I saw him at a petrol station just before that. I ran down to get him but a car pulled up with my uncle and cousin in it. The car was full up to the knees with scrambled eggs and my brother jumped straight in.

Dream 3: I was competing in some giant competition invokving running a gauntlet of arcade style games. It started off in an office where we had to run a sort of maze. I can't remember too well the specifics of the gauntlet, but I know the second last stage was in a room filled with pool tables where you had to get a ball in. The last stage after that was an arcade shooting game like time crisis. I had practiced it before so I was decent at the game, but there was this super hot girl who was a pro at it. She sidled up next to me as I was playing and seemed impressed by my ability. I got pretty nervous, but persevered.

Dream 4: Rechecking emails from coach mac over and over, trying to find out his secret for jumping higher, instead I kept on getting diet plans :/.

Suits
Mike from Suits is talking to Paul Solof [or however you spell it]. Solof asks him why he has turned down the junior partnership. Mike makes up an excuse that he is slacking through this job. It comes easy to him and he doesn't care much about it. He takes a lot of drugs and the mandatory drug testing for junior partners would end it, so he'd rather stay in his current position.

» Something to do with mayor Adam West from Family Guy
» According to a newspaper, in a small town of some 60 people, a lot of people casted their votes twice. There needs to be a recount. It's about the American elections.

Back for another try at Lucid Dreaming, so time to do some dream journaling again...

It's taken me a few nights to be able to remember anything at all, at last I can recall some details of last nights dreams.

I'm with someone else, doing some sort of pre-hospital medical care, but my medical bag is old and there's not much in it. I'm at my second casualty and he needs an IV drip. I get a line in but all the fluids and connectors have been used before but I have to use something so I find a bag half full of fluids - it's saline so I connect it and flush it through, there's a lot of air in the system because nothing fits, then I realise it's an odd hypotonic saline solution and stop it flowing. It's a mess.

It's the weekend and I'm at work, I can't remember too much I'm sat at a desk and a paramedic walks in and apologises for not doing too much work he was busy with something personal, I say it's ok it's not very busy anyway, I'm writing something, and we decide it's time for a break. There are several other doctor's also having a break, we talk about what are the best consulting rooms to work in.

I'm seeing patients and I decide one man needs a hole cutting into his chest, so we draw a template together. The hole is quite big, next thing we are out somewhere checking if the hole on the template is big enough, and there are several soft toys we have to make sure it's big enough for them to fit through. Then I'm getting ready to make the hole and I realise that it's way too big and it's right over the heart, and I start questioning why I'm making a big hole in someone's chest.

Now this dream had a seriously weird start. I think there was something happening before I got lucid but I don't remember it.

I was in some kinda camp close to a small creek. There were tents and some structures which I guess were placed to dry clothes or so. I had some self made "arsenic meat" with me, it was in an aluminum pot and was essentially raw meat in a clear liquid that consisted mostly or to some degree of arsenic. It smelled abhorrently chemical and I know that I accessed a Wikipedia page on arsenic via some kind of direct neural interface, no intermediate electronic device needed. On the page it talked about its psychoactive properties (not existent in real life as far as I can tell). Either I ate a piece of that or the smell alone was enough to induce said effects and I experienced visual distortions and some degree of control over these. That promptly made me lucid.

Spoiler for TL;DR: I had sex with my wife:

Though I became lucid I didn't really remember my goals or anything, instead I instinctively summoned my wife and had some forceful but pleasant sex with her, it was way shorter than in real life only a few minutes. And we were in an impossible position too. The sensation caused me to have a wet dream as well...

After that I had a FA but I did not wake up. I was in my home, and for once it was spectacularly close to my actual home, only minor details like color were off which is super rare. I was standing in the bathtub and was fiddling with a tarp that had seemingly become dirty when my wife and me had fun. I had also worried about my wife getting pregnant since we didn't use any contraception. And the tarp was mostly in the toilet... the weirdness of it all snaps me back into lucidity, I do the nose pinch RC. I go onto the bed in my bedroom, and my wife was also there, talking about something. I know I half consciously listened but since I knew it was DC I didn't pay it too much attention. I thought about trying shared dreaming but ultimately didn't try.

I jumped outside, I'm pretty sure from my balcony. I look at the sky and... it's obviously bright day from all my surroundings yet it's actually night in the sky, it's black and I see the stars.
(I only saw it in the dream but found it weird after I woke up and thought about it, this mix between night and day at the same time is new to me.)
I thought about flying up but didn't want to spent too much time in a black void, so I improvised and filled the space partially with a beautiful green nebula, it worked quite spectacularly. I fly up into the sky, aiming at the border of the nebula. I was rather disappointed to see that the night sky was only a texture several kilometers above the planet. Instead of fixing it I turn back towards earth and spin it around to take a trip to Japan. It takes me a moment to find it, and it's not a normal earth globe either but I managed. The globe was... it was still a perfect sphere and the countries had roughly the right shape but it was vastly scaled down, so that each country was only barely a large city. I entered Japan on the east in some kind of harbor and went westwards into an industrial area. I remember seeing some soldiers and then I used a weird high precision zoom interface to inspect my surroundings. I see some products and wares and eventually find and pick up a lead-pouring game, you know that Sylvester tradition thingy. Right then I'm violently yanked out of the dream and wake up.

And incidentally I realize I had this dream right on time to finish my first TotM (I had this dream only hours into February), and I didn't know the task by then either.

I am super sorry for all the late entries. They will probably always be a few days late on the weekends, or when I am on trips.
I was coming back from a short day trip yesterday, and fell asleep in their at about 10:00. I woke up at maybe 10:30 to have a soda and muddy buddy break. I went back to sleep at probably 10:30, and got back home at 1:00 after being disrupted multiple times. I tried to use that as a wbtb, but I didn't try very hard. My hectic night resulted in the worst dream recall ever. All I remember is being in Iowa and seeing different political candidates.

I am looking pictures of bettas online. I find a picture that looks like mine but then realize that it doesn't look like my at all.
I am knocking on peoples doors and find myself in somebody's house. Dear basement is Rusty, concrete, and full of water. I walked into it to grab my Eos and ice breakers.
I go into a hot tub with a man in it. Another man(husband?) comes up behind me and gets angry at me.
I am in orchestra class. My orchestra teacher s giving out thank you notes to people who gave him Christmas presents. He doesn't give one to me which makes me mad. Then I start making jokes, and a girl I absolutely DETEST starts giving credit to another girl for them. That makes me even madder.

I am walking on my neighbor's lawn. I see a guy from a commercial and wonder if I should get his autograph. I walk into my neighbors house and see my brother. He is supposed to watch their dogs, but he doesn't want to. I tell him that I can but I really don't want to. (I don't tell him that I do n't want to.) Their two dogs are eating popcorn from a bowl and I want some.
I am walking in the school hallways but they are wider and empty. I walk into the literacy room with my parents for parent teacher conferences.
A teacher is questioning a sort of stupid boy why he got nothing wring on the past few tests. He says that he didn't cheat, and the teachers believe him. The teachers tell him that when he gets married, his babies will be very smart.

My family and I have moved to a new house. My sister and is still share a bunk bed, batt for some reason the too bunk isn't even high off the ground. I open the shades in the room to make it lighter, and turn on a lamp. The lamp then breaks.
I am in Spanish class and we are making models of different places and events such as the colloseum and men in the revolutionary war. The bell rings when we are still working on the models and I am annoyed at the teacher for not giving us time to clean up.
Me and my dad are walking down a street. My dad walks up to a person and tells him that we are going to save a baby today. The man is let down by this.
I am looking at my betta in her tank, noticing how there are no sides to he tank, and wondering how the water stays in. I pour some water into the tank, and it stays in.
I leave my house to catch a plane two minute before it takes off.
I am in my school gym and I see someone that looks like Annie from Bratayley. I tell my friend about the girl, and follow the girl around a bit mor. I notice that her hair is too light to be Annie.

From what I remember, it was me and about 15 people running around with desktop computers at dusk at my old neighborhood and we were attaching antennas to them and hooking into transformer boxes. Then we used an old jeep as a generator and started hacking the power grid until we knocked out power to the whole country. Me and my little army of trouble makers built a fort in the woods and started planning an underground network of sewer bases? TMNT style maybe? Anyway, some hostiles started approaching our wooded base and we all took cover. There was a virus around and everyone was afraid. We found an old black and white television that was playing racist propaganda and I told everyone not to believe it, it was a tool being used to make us all fight each other. A Marine I used to work with told me he was narrating a movie and I said awesome, lets watch it... it turned out to be a cheesy kids cartoon with flying dragons and dinosaurs telling each other fighting formations. I need to lay off the melatonin, it's bringing me nothing but nonsense and zero lucidity.

2/02/16:
Dream 1: Aidan playing age of empires two, me seeing little villagers inside his houses working, being born, dying etc.

Dream 2: I was at a big market place with my brother. I'm not too sure what we were doing there, but we noticed this old Chinese guy following us. Eventually we turned around and asked him what was going on, and he gave us some rice and meat. We ate it and it tasted delicious! We wanted to know why he did this or what this food was, but he walked off and went back to his kitchen. We wondered around a bit and found our friend Gary and asked him what was going on. He said something about a tradition and then he told us the next step was eating jasmine rice, so he gave us a handful to make ourselves. We went off and found a small open fire and then cooked the rice in a little pot over it until it turned a sort of yellowy colour. Gary then came back and gave us some rice he had made earlier, which was much more white. We mixed the two in the same bowl and then I ate some. It tasted amazing and smelt super aromatic! My brother and I finished it off and then we wandered around the market for a bit.

We saw a large Taoist temple with some dancers and monks out the front, and my brother told me something about a legend where children used to be between 7 feet and 9 feet tall. I discounted that as silly until I saw some kids off into the distance who in that height range. I think we then went off trying to find the original guy again but the dream faded.

"Tonight I will remember my dreams. Tonight I will know that I'm dreaming."

Hot wall
I'm in my kitchen microwaving something. Now I'm in the pantry. I notice a strip of oddly-colored wall near the breaker box and take a closer look. I'm concerned that it may be discolored because of heat and put my hand against it to check. Sure enough, it's warm, though it's not hot enough to hurt. Now I notice that there's more color on the wall, and there seems to be a second breaker box. What's that? It turns out to be a copy of the breaker box that someone printed out and stuck to the wall, but now it's curling because of the heat. I'm starting to get really worried here, and I feel around more to see how far the heat goes. Nothing I touch is hot enough to hurt, but I still touch quickly and carefully in case a spot is actually really hot. Everything is merely warm, and it actually seems to be cooling down. I try to think if there's a way I can open up the wall to let it cool, but I can't think how.

Now the wall is half-height, and I've already removed the top. It turns out there was already a fan blowing into the space inside the wall, and without the top on a bunch of saw dust comes blowing out. My kids and the T family's kids are playing nearby, so I turn off the fan so they're not all breathing in sawdust. I'm surprised to see that it's actually our little space heater set to fan mode. Why did I use this? Weird.

Now the wall is down to just studs, and I'm looking through it to some unfinished construction behind. I'd forgotten that that room was back there. I'll have to finish that one of these days.

Now Frank is at the house, washing something off in the sink. Something strange happens, and I'm annoyed with him.


Game show
I'm watching a game show. From my perspective, I can see a huge audience. The room is dimly lit, but there are spotlights shining from all over towards a circular stage in the middle. In this show, the contestant tries to make an offer to the hosts to see if they'll take it. Donald Trump is one of the hosts. He's sitting in a chair in an observation room behind the wall of the arena looking down at the stage. Trump and another of the hosts completely turn down the competitor who's currently up. A third host works with him a bit. I see Trump press a button which causes his chair to start to descend through what looks like a (very slow) pneumatic tube. Somehow I know that his plan is to make the guy sweat, think that he's out, then pop back up and make a last-minute offer. As he's walking along a tunnel beneath the stage, he somehow gets accosted. Now I see another of the hosts get locked into a room somewhere. Someone very strange is in the room. When the announcer tries to reach them for any last-minute bids, he can't.

Fragment: Some kind of huge helicopter (it's much wider than it is tall) is going on some kind of rescue mission.
