non-lucid

I watched a cartoon about a whale. I don't remember anything other than that.

I was in a game or playing a game. The setting is a dystopian future. I was alternately watching and being in the game. There were cameras in various places, even in rooms. There was one room where there are two guys talking to the camera. They're acting like they're just some typical guys fooling around but away from the camera, they were plotting something.

Escape. Top-down view. Reminds me of Mario RPG.

Just something about having to rescale more space for MPC, and buy it with JY. Not even gonna bother writing notes here.

Ok, last night was an interesting night, but you'll need some background information to understand it. In real life, I got up at 4:30 am to leave on a trip. I decided to go to sleep in the car so I could count that as a wbtb.
I don't remember much of my dreams from before I left, but after a left, it got pretty interesting.
I had a false awakening of me waking up and sitting up in bed. My sister is just waking up too, but for some reason she says that she is going to take a snooze on the couch. I check my watch and see that the time is 4:11. I am confused, I thought we had already left. I wonder why I am not in the car. Then I say, "That can only mean one thing!" And I do an RC. I stick my finger through my hand, and what do you know? I'm dreaming. At that moment, I feel extremely happy. I pinch my nose and take a long breath. (As RelaxAndDream suggested.) It feels really cool. I guess I forget my LDing plan, because I decide to fly out of my house through the ceiling. I try it, and the ceiling sort of breaks apart, but I can't fly through it. Instead, I decide to fly around in my living room. (It's really tall and has a slanted ceiling.) I start to fly, and I'm really happy because my dad is watching, cheering me on, and I'm not falling. Sometime in the middle of my flight I pinch my nose and breath again. Once I am finish I land on my back on the ground, and greet my dad. He looks like Dumbledore, but is wearing my dad's sweatshirt. I try to transform him completly into Dumbledore, but it doesn't work. (I'm loosing my lucidity at this point.)
I then have a false awakening, this time in the car on our trip. We stop at a gas station to go to the bathroom, but we accidentally go into the dining room. Because of this, dad lets us get breakfast there. I get a waffle and a cup of cherries.

A visual to represent the yetis in my dream

This was an extremely long and detailed dream, I will try to explain it as best as I can.

This dream took place around in a space quite similar to the last college I was at. I cannot remember much of the beginning but I do remember being in a sort of room with tiled flooring and desks (similar some of the rooms from my previous two colleges I've been at). I met a guy who I began talking to. He had a very cheerful personality and such. I also remember him putting on some sort of turtle shell costume part on his back as he proceeded to dry hump me. I do not know why but I figured he might of known about my sexual interests for other species apart from humans so thus the playful act? Hmmm... It then cut to the outside into the campus grounds. The plastic turtle shell was gone by then.

Him and I were sitting on a concrete ledge where he was brushing out my hair for a bit before we walked out around the campus side. While walking I asked him if he was open to anything. The guy looked at me with a confused face and I told him that I usually do sexual things with my friends and if he was ok to be engaged to do such acts. This was more so because of what he did with me earlier.

He didn't respond but ended up calling a girl on the phone (presumably his girlfriend). I cannot recall what they were talking about but he then hung up and smiled at me again and continued to chat with me as if nothing happened.

Anywho~

Somehow I knew that fiendish-like creatures were also students when went to the college and I said out loud to myself and to the guy next to me, "I really wish I could date a non-human. Arn't there non-humans here? I haven't seen any for a long time."

With no response from the guy, or at least, my mind and hearing completely blocked out anything he said, we ended up in a warped like extension of the intersecting street area that is found around up the street where I live in the waking world. There was a large fence and some yeti-like creatures standing and walking around in an enclosed space. One in particular stood beside a tree, I told myself that I was going to ask him about the supposedly disappearance of other species. But then I could see humans, adult in age, wearing yellow kind of suits holding guns and casually shooting and killing anything that wasn't human. Strangely the yeti creatures did not do anything and it was almost like they didn't even know that they were getting killed, one-by-one, from the humans that surrounded them.

I became furious, I began to mumble a bunch of anti-human -- genocide-extinction type of stuff. I wanted to kill the humans for what they were doing and I began to lift myself up into the air feeling my face scrunched up in anger. My male friend tried to stop me saying, "They will kill anything abnormal in sight." -- meaning me flying in the air. I didn't listen to them and continued to reach new heights. The people saw me and pointed their guns at me shooting. Their bullets did little effect and only made me more pissed. I rushed at them with full force and began to annihilate. Tanks were sent to me but I destroyed them too. More people in yellow suits were coming, and while I was fighting, it cut to the perspective of my male friend and a group of individuals who I did not know plus Saitama from One Punch Man was there, all willing to help me in my battle. I then woke up.

Notes: No doubt in my mind as to why I had this dream. I will say that due to my stress from last night and the conversations I had with my friends about it is what fueled this concoction. With exploring a bit more in my sexuality and lifestyle, place on earth, and my misanthrope nature: a dream like this was bound to happen.

Sorry I'm so late! I'm currently in a hotel right now, so this is going to be a quick entry.

Me and my friend are in gym class, only it is outside, in front of my school. We are doing handstands.
I am in the basement at my church, and I see a little girl names Alysa who says that she wants to make mattresses. (She is really talking about mittens.)
A am on vacation with my family, and we are organizing the luggage in our car. Our dad then tells us that we are going to GA, which is Great America. We are all very excited about this.
I'm in the car with my brother, sister and dad. My dad has three dogs with him that he just bought, and I ask him if I can hold one. He says that I can't, that the dogs are for him, my sister, and brother. I'm very angry at this.

Dream 1 - Shopping
I remember being outside of the mall chilling out on a seat, I believe I had a bag of stuff I had bought. I noticed my ex girlfriend shopping in a Pagani shop for clothes. There's also a group of random girls (maybe late high school) that she gets annoyed about because she doesn't want to talk to them or something? They're outside and my ex has to wait until they go before it's safe to leave. Mean while she continues to change clothes while I just chill, every time I look back at her I see that she's wearing something new. Short shorts (hot damn), jeans, etc. The group of girls walks into the Pagani shop too now, my ex looks through the window and sees them entering and looks at me showing how frustrated she is with the girls. I decide I'll go walk in and say hi properly.

Dream 2 - Shannara
I remember that I'm in the world where the Shannara chronicles take place. I watched the first episode of the tv series yesterday and it seemed to effect my dreams . In the post-apocalyptic scenario I was traveling with Allanon, the princess, the rover and maybe the half-elf Will. Something happens between the characters, there's another group where I think Allanon had travelled with the leader for a time. One of the leaders underlings got upset when someone passed away and blamed it on Allanon. The place we were in at the time was this huge abandoned underground base that was built to protect people from nuclear attacks. One of the characters showed the blue elfstones to another character, who acted stunned and said 'I need some fresh air'. Only, that person then secretly took the elfstones and left.. The underling who blamed Allanon at this point had a hissy fit and set a nuke to rain down on us. Alarms start ringing and the doors to the base close up. There's a certain "Oh no! That person is still outside!" (the person with the elfstones). Allanon looks up at the closing doors, he's flabbergasted.. The idea that so much life will be destroyed saddens him. I also remember a 'space-view' of the weapon launching the nuke, it had these huge hangar doors much like the ones we were being protected by in the base. We're all wondering what to do now that we've noticed the person stole the elfstones. Apparently the rover girl switched them by covering the real stones in black soot and handing the girl 3 other stones. This part confuses me as I was pretty sure it'd be hard to make any pebble resemble an elfstone :/. I don't catch on that it's a dream though.

> I saw my paternal grandma (Note she died in 2014) and there were parts before this next part, but this is what I remember most: She was in my living room listening to a cover of "All I Want" by The Offspring. The cover was a lot slower in the beginning until the chorus and I think had altered lyrics, some about a kitchen.

> I was having a jog with a dog in a flea market. (No, not with bugs.) I then saw a bunch of video games for sale and, semi-lucid, wondered if I should try buying them. (I used to go lucid if I saw video games for sale because I realized after getting excited in dreams and waking up, that I was dreaming.)

> I saw a three-wheeled car (Like a Reliant) with several people in it (at least four or five) with a woman driving it, hopping buildings in a city like you might expect New York City to be. They eventually ended up on top of an elevator in a building and I thought the idea was to then get the car through the roof of the elevator and... Out the door of it, I guess. The elevator was a lot bigger than the car.

I was in school. The building was somehow incomplete and it was possible to fall out of it in some places. I was wandering the corridors of school searching for classroom. Everyone was staring at me for some reason. After a while I realised that I must climb up to another floor. I almost fallen down when climbing, but I managed to do this. My english language teacher was just looking at us, and gave us grades for climbing styles.

I think I went to bed somewhere around 00:00. Woke up around 08:00 and stayed in bed until 09:10.

Jacket
I've got a white jacket that looks a bit like the Michelin mascot. It's a jacket from a broadcasting company I used to work for. It has the acronym embroidered onto it on the front in black, as opposed to the red 'stickers' in reality. I might've peeled the red ones off already. I'm not sure how to remove the embroidered part though. I'm thinking to myself that this would make an ideal jacket for wintersports if I can manage to remove all the company logo's.

Grenades
I'm sitting at a rectangular table in a non-descript room. My little brother is sitting opposite of me and I think there's a girl or woman sitting next to him. To my left about 2 metres further is either the pope or John McCain, with a white woman sitting opposite him. I believe McCain/the pope was wearing white. My little brother throws a grenade at him which lands just next to him on the table. Everyone but McCain/Pope makes a run for it. He didn't notice because he's got his earplugs in and it seems like he is Skyping on his laptop. The grenade explodes, but doesn't seem to do any damage. My little brother throws another grenade, and we dash for it again. This time it scares the shit ouf of McCain/Pope. There's at least 1 cameraman nearby, so I know this will be televised. I ask to speak to my private in a different room. This room we call Addis Abeba for some reason. The surroundings once I leave the first room suddenly become a bit more ancient/mystic. I get mad at my little brother and ask him what the hell he was doing. I sit on his chest in such a way that I won't crush him with my weight, but that he can't lift his arms. I start slapping him with a flat right hand on his cheeks to get some answers out of him. He whimpers a bit and gives me an answer, but very softly and I can't understand him. I tell him to speak up, but every time his answer is too soft. I tell him he can't get away with this by refusing to answer. Eventually we do leave the room to go back to the original room. At soom point I start to raise my awareness. I am considering everything I'm doing as if I'm writing a script. Someone with a cello enters the room. There was also something to do with music paper, though I can't recall what. My little brother and I go back to Addis Abeba again. I want answers. Eventually he breaks down and tells me that he got fired from his internship, but I can't get an answer as to why. I'm also surprised by the fact that he had an internship and that he got fired again. He whimpers and tells me that things are going bad with Bea. I ask him who that is and he tells me that it's his girlfriend. He has a girlfriend? I'm not sure if he's lieing to me or not. Suddenly my view changes to Facebook, with my aunt and cousin responding to a photo of him and his girlfriend about how they want to meet her and that they'll have to go to the school cafetaria to do so.

Shop
I had another dream, but it's taking up quite some time to write everything down. Maybe I'll do it later tonight. The gist of it is: I'm in a phoneshop to adjust my contract. I end up having a lengthy conversation with the salesgirl and my mom also adds some points. Eventually the girl and I talk about an academic subject.

I was in the basement of Pulp Fiction (i don't know what that actually means, maybe because the place was a basement and there were some guys that after talking were going to kill that guy) [I haven't seen the movie but since i dreamt with that i saw it. I saw the hateful 8 and maybe that's why i dreamt with something like that.]. There was a card that the messenger had who was destined to Einstein. He was old already and retired. But the messenger said that he didn't know where Einstein house was, he just was sent the coords and he dropped the bag from the airplane on the air at that location. The bag that was there was a black bag which had two black bags. One black bag contained paper, blank paper mostly, like 100 pages but the first two pages were written and they were a letter to the messenger saying that they'll soon have to bury him. The other bag had some tubes.

In my previous dream i was a kind of monster fighting a batallion. The king wanted it so he had his wishes fulfilled, although i would never do such a thing, but i just got transformed anyways. This batallion, of the queen Danerys looked behind and saw an army, some horses, they were embushed.

Before that, in a kind of flashback, i saw Daenerys in a castle room drinking wine with a very powerful man. Daenerys looked scared but anyways she said, the wine tastes like blood and fire, just as i like it. Then she said some more words to this man and left. Outside they were (i was observer probably) outside the tower of the Undying. They were left of it and they have to head to the front. They were surrounded by walls, and in the front there were some gardens. So they walked all to the left of the tower and then to the front if it turning right. Then there were some walls too, and some steps north there was no wall. So they went through that open space between walls and they headed to the entrance of the castle. There were more walls and the wooden door was to their left, meaning north.

Driving around a city for some important reason. I was involved but I was also watching what was happening like a show and reading about it in a book simultaneously. Something about a staged riot where a blonde couple I knew were pretending to be religious and they thought it was unfair to be presenting a lie of perfection to everyone else. Something involving older men in a gypsy tent with young girls bellydancing, I’m one of the girls. The next day I drive to the grocery store. I’m only visiting this town. It’s busy and I find a close parking spot but have to walk a long way. I go in and see some plastic jewels to put around the eyes. An older man buys them and his friends laugh at him a little, he has zero shame. I want to buy some but am embarrassed with all the men nearby. I can get them at the store in my hometown but I might forget. I see small boxes of cereal and the brands I ate growing up were now labeled, “legal or not?” I thought it was bizarre. I see some people I know. I check out with only a few items because I told someone, “as I was shopping I realized I had most of the items I was looking for.” It takes forever to check out. When I get to the checker he’s gay and pudgy. He directs me to the card machine and I start to sign my name but accidentally cancel my order and have to start over. He does the rest for me.

Sitting in a grassy lawn with a group of girls. We’re curious what’s going on in a small building covered with vines. We know the boys are in there. It’s a group of celibate, religious boys. An overweight, tall, middle aged woman comes up to us and encourages us to go inside because the men are looking for wives. I say, “well I’m married so I’m not sure that would be appropriate.’ But I go in with the other girls anyway. It looks like my aunt’s old house. One of the guys there we’re familiar with. He’s young with shaggy brown hair and it looks like he’s plucked his eyebrows excessively so they’re a little farther apart than they should be. I sit down and talk with him and he talks a lot. He talks about finding a wife. He says "one can’t be picky unless they want to wake up crying and alone every morning." He talks about his celibacy and there’s a picture of him hanging on the wall. I contemplate that perhaps I would have married him if I was single. He’s not bad, but I seem to have higher standards than him. And could he handle my moods? He continues talking about how the men are supposed to “judge" each other by eavesdropping on their arguments. He gets really angry when they close the door and argue in private. Secretly I can’t help but wonder if these celibate men are having gay sex with each other. An older blonde man like Steve Avery pokes his head through the window to the inside and gets one of the older brunette girls to climb out. I guess they had a secret date.
We’re out sitting on the lawn again in front of an old, abandoned mansion. After talking with that boy I’m contemplating my life and how it is now versus if I had taken the Christian route that I had intended as a child. As I imagine life as a devout Christian, all the colors in the dream start to become dull and almost gray. I have a premonition of a creepy orgy involving all the nearby celibate christians taking place in the mansion. All of them have demonized faces and are making eye contact with me. It made me really uncomfortable. The premonition faded and the colors were still dull. Yet I saw a red flower come back to life and regain vibrancy, but the wind blew it away. I desperately chased after it and caught it. I went into the mansion and talked with one of the older men. Once I got inside I knew it was the beginning of my premonition. I decided to leave and he wasn’t letting me out. I screamed for help and finally someone saw us, so the man let me go. Everyone had left the yard and the person who saw us told us we needed to hurry and run. The sky had turned dark gray. I wasn’t sure what was happening but we ran. When we got to the neighboring yard the grass was replaced with dark, brown water. We had to swim and it hurt my ears. Once we got to the house they let us in. The host was a very rich young lady from the 1800s.

Having dinner with my entire family, all sides. I’m eating lamb and made jalapeño butter to go with it. A guy says his meat is too tough. I offer him some of my lamb and he doesn’t want it. In the kitchen the cabinets remind me of my dad’s house. Except some are fucked up and won’t close or have cutouts in weird shapes to be able to close. I test alexia’s allergies afterward and they’re moderate-high. That means she’s allergic to the either the peanut butter or the shrimp.

Someone tells me that my dreams are weird and f*cked up and that must mean I’m f*cked up. I argue about that, suggesting that perhaps it means I’m even less f*cked up.

My recall has been terrible recently, but tonight was actually pretty good.

Hair cutting kit
I'm walking through a grocery store and see a barber giving a demonstration of a hair cutting kit on a guy in the barber chair. The barber is demonstrating different tools and things that the kit can do, which means the volunteer's hair is looking stranger by the minute. He's not happy about it, but there's not much he can do - he doesn't want to stand up with sharp things close to his face.

Now I'm telling my friends that I've already ordered one of these kits and that it came this morning. I'm excited about it because, unlike the demo models, it has all functionality enabled, including the time control. I think how strange it would be to be thirty forever, but one of my friends cautions against it, wondering what the side-effects are. I wonder if you'd lose your memory back to the point you revert to, and that gives me pause.


The mall / the diner
I'm walking with a group of people through a mall. Peter and my wife are both with us. Peter and I are wearing long-sleeved button-down dress shirts and talking about how great they are. We swap notes on where we got our shirts and how much they cost. They're both a light pastel color - a blue or a green.

Now we're walked outside. We're still standing under the mall's giant overhang. Some people have set up tables out here, and Peter talks to the people running them - he clearly knows them well, but it's been a long time since he's been here, and they're glad to see him. I consider going to the car to get something, but I realize I forgot my shoes and it's been raining, and I don't want to get my socks soaked. I realize we'll all be going in a minute anyway and decide I'll have to do my best to walk on my toes to avoid getting the rest of my feet wet.

Now we're running up a grassy incline towards a diner. We used to go here, and this climb always winded me, but I'm doing great today. Now we're near the top, and I'm finally struggling. I'm disappointed - I thought I'd be able to make it all the way without slowing down too much.

Now we're near the top. Someone is fighting off some bees. I step back, not wanting to be stung, but he does OK.

Now we're in the diner. I've got a card game in my back pocket that I carry around because it's simple and fun. I want to show it to Peter, but I can't find a good moment. I fiddle with the rubber bands I brought to keep the deck together.

Now I'm sitting at a table looking at a diagram of a new shopping center someone wants to build. I notice a square right in the middle of other buildings and I ask about it, since no one would be able to get to it. The answer I receive is a non-answer, and I'm not satisfied with it. Someone else says that the most important thing in the new shopping center is a diner: without it, people won't have reason to come. A store is a store, but if there's a diner, people will come to eat and then stay to shop.


In-law suite
I'm "at home" talking to my wife about how to care for her parents when they get old. She's talked before about building out some kind of apartment for them to live with us. I wonder how that would work, where we'd put it (back yard, maybe?), then remember we have an unfinished basement. It wouldn't be cheap to finish it, but I bet John and I could frame it out fairly cheaply; those studs were only a couple of dollars each. We'd still need to have someone do the drywall, but we'd still save a lot of money. I think about what part of the basement to finish and what to leave unfinished - I still need my workshop.


Old planes
I'm driving on multilane road. I look to my right and see a plane driving next to us with a woman in the cockpit. The propeller is huge, and I hope it doesn't clip us. I wonder if she's going to keep "driving" or if she'll finally take off, and how fast she'll need to be to get off the ground. We're already going highway speeds, and her plane is shaking as if she's right at the line between driving and flying.

Now I'm walking with a couple of other guys by some old, retired planes. We start by talking about how much air gets pushed through each engine, that it's a surprisingly small amount, but then we get to talking about the majesty of these planes, which are all very large cargo or bombers. A Korean one in particular looks amazing. We round some of the planes and come across a guy wearing a mascot suite. One of the guys I'm with greets him.

Now we're inside a large building. Mascot guy is out of his suit, and we're all getting ready to work on a weird project, getting some old piece of equipment functioning again. Mascot guy is put in charge as the <something> sergeant.


Mansion RPG
I'm playing a game, a top-down RPG. My character is running north in a mansion corridor being chased by something. I think I'm going to make it, but then I hit a shadowed section that I can't pass and get caught. Turn-based battle starts. I tell all my party to attack, and I'm surprised they're all area attacks. There's only one enemy, so I'd have preferred directed attacks. To my surprise, the enemy is killed before he gets a turn. Now I'm back in the corridor and the dark patch is gone. I understand now: each patch is created by an enemy, and the enemy has to be killed to remove the patch.

Now I'm in another hallway. I see something on a counter but end up in a battle. This time, I grab the desert before the enemies can, crack it open, and scoop out the passion fruit. There are three enemies, and I hope to pacify them all b y giving them some. I give some to the first two enemies, and they're happy; but then I can't find any for the third one. I'm hunting through the ruined desert, trying to find even one seed, and he's getting impatient. I stall him while trying to figure out what to do.

"Rocks ruined my life"

I saw a great ancient settlement. It was a mix of Babylonian, Aztec and Mayan civilisations. Hieroglyphs on a wall made of gold depicted many scenes from it's history, but I couldn't understand anything. I saw a king - a black, bald man wearing golden pants. He sang a catchy song about poison while I've seen an enormous steel syringe apply a poison to a body of another man. The song ended abruptly and I saw a man wandering the desert in search of civilisation and rescue. Every object lying on the ground formed word "Rocks". The man walked up a hill, and saw a huge valley with "Rocks" written all around it by sand or stones. He said "Rocks ruined my life!"

D1 - I find out why I have been falling in love with the same red haired person through time.
I meet Matt Smith and Karen Gillan , and here is the synch


Anyway best thing is, is the time machine is a train. We travel and tracks through space and time, on outside of train for some reason.
Meeting past life red head, earlier red head this life time and later red head this life time. Which are all supposed to be same soul
Anyhow was cool.

D2 - Brother and ex-wife are in some kind of limbo, with 2 years not knowing what to do or where to live. They visit a warehouse with lots of boxes with special coding on them. I figure out how it works but can see no point for such a system as they have next to no stock.

D3 - Horse riding competiton. Our side is very confident but are tricked due to this. Our last hope is a good rider, he jumps and swings himself onto the horses back much as a gymnast onto the parallel bars. But we are still tricked it seems.
