non-lucid

Middle of Nowhere Waiting for a Bus
I'm in a small town at night, by a small road that winds past a residential area with little houses. I wait for a bus to get me back to the city, I see a bus come up. A person runs to it, a red-haired friend of mine. He doesn't recognize me though, and as I look at him his features become unfamiliar and strange.

In the bus, there are other people. The scene has changed, it is now daytime, morning, and a grey sky stretches over the field we pass to my right, a deep forest to the left. I look suspiciously at the people around me. I see a young guy with a buzzcut a little ahead of me. He's a troublemaker, been in a juvenile facility for a while I hear. There is some confusion, was he put in there as an innocent kid and the place has now turned him into a thug?

Playing Cards
I'm in an old apartment of a female friend of mine, she lived in a place similar to the one I was waiting for the bus in. The sky is grey, I can see the ambient grey light coming from the windows on my left. She has a bunch of Magic:The Gathering cards that she takes pictures of and puts on Imgur. She gets a lot of likes and makes it to the front page. I find it weird that she now collects these cards, but I rationalize it by thinking she likes the artwork. She shows a card she really likes, a black card called "Tombic Totem" (a nod to Hearthstone I believe) and says she actually understands the English name of it. I look at the card and it has a little picture of a pedestal with a skull and a candle where the text should be. It has a game mechanic called "candle" where if the candle goes out it silences (another Hearthstone mechanic) all other cards and relights. Whenever the candle is "blown out" it silences a card.

I'm out back in the backyard of a house at night. There is a fence around the grass,there is a small tent by the house. A bunch of rowdy working class people smoke cigarettes and drink tall cans of beer. I sit by a table under the roof of the tent. A friend of mine is playing Magic. I join and play. We get into a tie and have to draw instant cards and the one with the highest cost wins. We draw twice before the third breaks the tie in his favor. To my left I see an old friend who has come back from Germany. He as a lot of shiny foil special lands on the table. They look really nice, I point out one that looks like it has a hologram picture on it. I ask about it, I think I see C'thulhu on it? The cards are so precious I don't even want to touch them, my friend turns it around for me to look at it upright. The sunken city of R'lyeh?

An elderly woman is forcing me and some other people to stand on a lake known to be dangerous. She appeared to despise anyone who attempted to ask her for help. She seem to be able to signal the dangerous monster beneath the lake with hand gestures. However instead of the monster below attacking us it quickly drag her from the wooden chair she was sitting in to the bottom of the lake. My mother who is also here, ask me if I wanted anything from her. I said no as it would be no use. We could all hear her screams from the ocean depths. I didn't get to see what the creature look like nor did I understood why everything can float without sinking in this lake. The dream transition to a different scene. I find myself in father room. As I get up and walk in to the livng room, I realize I am dreaming. I see the living room bathroom door is open with no one inside. My eyes look up upstairs to see the light on and the sound of someone closing a door. I went in to father room again and continue to think about Lding.

I woke up to my first alarm at 5am and was really tired after sleeping late so fell back asleep between my alarms, knowing that I had to get up soon. I think because I knew this I fell in a really light sleep which on the one hand, perhaps, made it far more likely for me to be able to do a RC, but on the other hand resulted in me not taking my RC seriously (as my brain thought I was actually awake since such a short time before I had awoken and part of me was listening out for the next alarm). Anyway this is what happened:

I wake up in the dream and it is early morning, light but still a bit dark (corresponding with real time). I go to the bathroom to get ready - I flick the light switch and enter the room...the room is still dark. I go back and flick the light switch again and re-enter...still dark. I do it again. Still dark. I do this like 5-6x. Then D comes into the room and I say "i'm having trouble getting the light on" we look at each other and then have the same thought I should be checking my hands I bring my hands up to my face and the same time he grabs them and brings them up to my face for me. I examine my fingers but they look normal (usually I see more fingers straight away) I count them anyway but I come up with a funny number 6 or something. I concentrate and count again and keep coming up with numbers like 7 or 9 on one hand. I am really confused trying to figure how how my hand looks normal but when I count them I keep coming up with more. It's like my eyes are playing tricks on me. I either give up and keep getting ready or I actually wake up then realising it's now 5:20 am (and I know/can sense what the time is before even looking at the clock)

4/1/16
Almost forgot to write this one down haha was out all day.
Dream 1: I was at school on the last day, having to cleanout my locker. It was full of all sorts of unimaginable junk, including card games and bathroom supplies, I have no idea how that sort of stuff got in there. I had spent about an hour doing this and the end still wasn't in sight, so I went to the library. In there was a small party celebrating the end of the year with around 10 people. My brother and mum were in there, and I joined up with them. I told them I needed help to clean out my locker, so we started making our way outside. On the way we said goodbye to a few teachers and staff. Once at my locker we ended up fitting everything I had into several bags, just, so we avoided having to come back the following day. I think there was some embarrassing stuff in my locker, like a book full of nude pictures that my uncle had given me or something, but overall the process was relatively benign.

a fragment about being on a plane going to Korea and a hole opens up and there is swirling and I think it is a wormhole that will get me there faster but I am not sure

I go back to the apartment. Someone has been in the apartment and has put my diploma in a frame on the bookshelf along with a graduation suit and hat and picures in frames of me on campus in my graduation suit but that is weird because I didn't even sign up for the graduation or buy a graduation suit so the pictures must have been photoshopped. I get an email from college with a directory of restaurants, libraries, and banks that I can use off-campus like I don't already know where these places are. I have a lot of mail in the mailbox. How did this huge letter even fit in the mailbox? It is some kind of xbox thing like I get points for playing xbox or something.

I dream a comment I made on Reddit get close to 10,000 upvotes. How is that possible?!?!?

Going Back in Time
I'm in a hotel room, like a motel in the US. I look down at my cellphone. In some weird twist, I go back in time. Now it is a day before. My friend enters the room, stands by the door and tells me to get my stuff together. I look down back at my phone, confused. It is now an old version of a cellphone, like from the 90's and the screen is so small it's hard to read messages. I try to fight my lethargy and get going.

Back in the military, Inception crew?!?!?
I'm in my childhood neighborhood. The sun is up, feels like an autumn morning. I am walking around, looks nice. I'm back in the military? I have to match. At some point I have to run, it's like a orienteering exercise. I really don't want to run, haven't ran in some time. To my surprise it is very easy and I actually enjoy it.

I make it to a bridge going over a highway, there are trees on either side. Were am I supposed to go?

I'm in a tight alley in the city, the walls on either side are tall and obscure the sky. I'm driving a car haphazardly, my mom is in it as well. It suddenly turns into something like a bike, the pedals are confusing. My old friend from childhood and his wife (who I by pure coincidence bumped into today) pass on their own motorized bike.

I make it to the center of the city by the sea. I meet the crew from Inception (!?!). They have stolen a nuclear reactor and have hidden it under some paving rocks by the sidewalk, through the cracks I can see it glow with white light.

The Yale Admission Tent
I enter a large white tent like something you'd find in a wedding. There is a a massive amount of people in the benches behind me as I face two tables. They are the Yale admission board (?!?!) and this is the interview portion of the admissions process. It has the feel of a game show or a talent show, the audience behind me. I'm pretty sure I have no chance of getting in but since I've been thrust in this position, I'll just do my best as least not to embarrass myself. I put on my best outgoing persona and get ready for anything.

On the table to the left there is a bunch of people who look like administrators. They shuffle my papers and prepare to ask questions. A person walks up from the table next to it, on my right. It is reserved for students in the student union who also are a part of the admission interview. A fairly plump and young student walks up to me and asks what books I've read recently. A sting of panic hits me, I haven't really read anything notable in the last few months, at least no fiction. I try to stir up anything I've read. I mention a friend of mine gave me the Lord of the Rings book that I've been re-reading as an emergency lie. I also mention reading the Song of Ice and Fire books, waiting for The Winds Of Winter as a namedrop. This is not going well.

I approach the student union table. I see my report card from school on it, it looks dirty and tattered, as if it's been stepped on with muddy boots.Behind it there is a circle of young students sitting on the grassy ground. They begin asking me weird, pretentious riddles (like something I saw in a Gilmore girls episode) and I do my best to answer but think it's BS.





Back in my childhood home, I'm hungry for tortilla chips. I eat tortilla chips.

In my first dream i was in the capital of my province, Cordoba. I was looking at a guy in the street (huge streets), he had long and white or yellowish hair, with a box selling watches and other things. I got excited because i could do this and live there. I just had to try for a month or two to see if its rentable, before the classes begin. I went outside the house (it was a messy scenario. It was like a huge saloon which was the street, but i was also a house, like the house i was living in Cordoba) and i saw people going out the house to the streets, to breathe some air, like going out of a party before dawn. Also there were a lot of pigs in the street. There were like 20 hairy pigs outside. They werent fat, like 20kgs, so they were running around joyful. I scratched one of them and he seemed happy. I went to talk with a cousin and he asked me if i could take a bag he had with leek inside, and i said sure and i took it. Then i talked with other people and forgot about the bag. But when those people handed me a bag with scallion, so i recalled the bag of leek. And i went to talk with my cousin again to ask for the bag of leek again. It was something weird but i didn't question myself about that. So he handed me the bag again, he laughed falsely and he slapped me in the cheek. I was like WTF!, hit me again and you will regret it. He didn't, lucky for him. I went inside the house (it was the house of my grandfather in street O Higgins) and there was a family taking a picture. So i moved quickly to the kitchen, to my right, and left the bags there. That family was of a friend, which went with me in the University in Cordoba in 2012. She said that it was her birthday. I soon grabbed a video recorder and started playing a song of the Doors as if it were the guitar, out of nothing, and at the same time i was dancing and maybe singing, without caring what people would say. I thought about what day was it. I knew that it was the birthday of my grandmother, Nonina, the 2nd of November but i wasnt sure what day her birthday was if the 2 or the 3rd. We were like four minutes away from the 3rd (even though that outside it was almost dawn). So i asked her, is today your birthday? Everyone heard me. She replied something like "i don't want with you or that you live here" (at that time i was in Rio IV, but before that i was considering selling watches on the street to see if i could live in Cordoba). And i ask "But is it the second or the third?" And a guy that was by her side "Listen, she told you she doesn't want you to live here" (i was like angry with this guy, he speaking for her, who the f#@# was him, if he told me something else i would have punch him). The answers were irrational but anyways i said "Ahhh" "Now i get it" (I don't like to express myself like that, so i said something logic after that) "You are envious". Of course it was the only thing that justified her behaviour. She wasn't jealous, and she was angry, so she had envy. I don't know to what but i could know for sure that that was the mental state she had. I let her be. I play the guitar again another song of the doors and i do some short filmings. Then i tell my uncle that he would have to erase some recordings after i talked with Vicky, because the videorecorder was his and of his wife.

I was looking at the street, going somewhere, just getting out of that place i think, when i suddenly see a young girl and a boy naked. It was early in the dream, the sun had not risen up so they were coming from a party or something like that. Some guys were transiting the streets, one in bicicle and the other in quad and they both went slower to look, while the one in quad stopped to say something and then went on. These naked people went inside a passageway and they had clothes in there with which they got dressed. They dressed up and i could notice they were in an act before, about something colonial. They lived in that place so they went inside the passageway and got inside the house. There was their family waiting. I just followed from behind and stood low to avoid getting caught, but i was just interested and i was like in a adventurers mission, it was funny. There was a gate like 10 to 20 meters beyond the beginning of the passage, a dry yard after that and then the house with its open doors. The family already had dinner and now it was time for dessert. This couple has brought a cake, like a birthday cake. But the old man of the family questioned something about not being cooked. So he told this guy to go and cook it. The stove was outside, so i had to get out of there, i had already passed the gate!, i would have to pass it again to get away. They were talking about something relative about fire: if he cooked quicker than his brother the fire should be more intense, if he cooked slower the fire should be diminished. He was still learning that, but that logic seemed to be hard to think of in the dream and i couldn't think about that since i had to scape, and if they saw me run a lot. I passed the gate and he didnt see me, then i saw he passed too because he was on the other side. I went out the street and i went in the middle of the street. I think they, the family, called for backup. There were four forces: two earth forces one with more weapons, the other with more technology, a water force and an air force. There came the earth force of technology to help, because there was some intruder (me). A lot of soldiers, but they didn't have any weapon. So i thought, ok they don't have any weapon, nor the other earth force, so i think it will be a battle of water force against air force. And it was indeed. Below, in the floor, it was repleted of navy weapons. In the air, paralel to the weapons of the navy there were weapons of the air force. A lot of bombs and things like that. They looked that they have been fabricated recently but there were enough to know that they have been stocked up. Suddenly the battle begins. I was directing the navy and we wanted to destroy the others weapons. I began to shoot the most powerful weapons just to destroy the other weapons. They became dust in the wind, but we continued. At one time it was evident that an explosion would take place, because of me. Was going to blast everything, mine and theirs, but i would definitely win. So i began to charge, one, two, three bomb like shoters ready, four and five. I throw the fifth to a general of the air force, not caring about the precept of not to kill apparently, and he throw it back, right in time i thought. Before he had told me something like "you don't care about this buildings and else, bla bla bla" well they were fighting as well so he was an hypocrit, he had to stop to save everything, not ask others to stop. And i was fighting for freedom, i was on the street (i found myself later on a garage) and i was to be caught but i decided to fight. The clock of the bomb was ticking so i began to run faster than ever. That moment appeared as slow motion. I just went out of the garage to my left there was this general and i ran to my right. Three houses off the first explosion began. I kept running because the other explosions would have a bigger radio. The second explosion happened and i was worried about the people in the house. The third explosion and i was already thinking about a nuclear explosion and how could i escape that. I continued running until the end of the street block. I was optimistic about the people in the house, although just a wall separated the house from the garage, i thought it could resist... I think it ended at the blast of the third explosion. It defeated the enemies so i was victorious.

I dream something about being in a barn, very large or maybe it was a hangar. There were a lot of people, men and women, in a room secured with a metal door, naked. I go outside and still i was inside the hangar. I look through a broken window and there were like soldiers outside.

In a nap i dreamt about being with a old woman talking about dreams. It was like 5 or 4 years i last met her (it was actually a random DC which appeared to be like my great grandmother and like a old neighbor of Cordoba called Marta). She was talking in a field about her dreams. She was about to go, but i wanted to talk about mine! So i began talking about the dream inside the house, and how i concluded that my friend was envious. And she tells me, "im thinking about the envy, and you are right!" I felt like good after talking to someone about my dream.

I was in the car with my dad and sister in the Rockies. We had just driven a long ways, and I remember my dad remarking on how he hates driving long distances. We were just about to turn around on a long road when several boys who were fooling around dashed out in front of us. Dad stopped, and we watched the boys. It looked like they were trying to push each other off the mountain.
"I can't look!" I told my dad and sister, covering my eyes and turning away. I took a peek a few seconds later, and they were getting closer to the edge!
"They're trying to cut each other with shears!" my dad exclaimed, and I peeked again. Sure enough, one of the boys was trying to cut the others with a pair of gardening shears. That is all I remember of that dream.
I was going to Spanish class, but only brought my assignment notebook and pencils. I decided to go back to my locker, but all of a sudden I was on a my school bus. Not noticing the change, I saw that the driver was my Spanish teacher. I realized that we were driving in the wrong direction, but I didn't say or do anything about it. We were driving down a side road, stopping at Cousins subs. (I remember seeing that the bus driver was the usual one again.) We had been listening to the radio, and apparently driven to Cousins because the hosts were there. My brother and I saw my dad eating inside, and got really mad at him. (No idea why)

D1 - It is very dark I am on an icy lake, I can just make out the shoreline, it is very eerie. A large lion's head appears, just the head no body. It is spirit like leaving a vapour trail behind it. Its coming for me and very big, I leg it, skidding on the ice. I just manage to get away.

D2 - I am a knight with red armour, weird kind of red, rusted red? My sword is normal silver steel. I am in a encampment after a battle. A baron is on trial. I vote against them, then standing in the dark tent, notice everyone is gone, except him looking non to pleased, again I leg it.

D3 - I am in a new house, it had a whole lot of glass inside. One part is hexgonal with sliding parts. i see some people coming to visit. So I go to hide but, I have over looked the fact that their is no where to hide due to all the glass.

[thoughts]
D1 - Afraid of becoming a leo persona, don't like being in the centre of attention
D2 - Being fiery red Aires won't magic away my fears
D3 - glass, I can't hide from myself

Before going to sleep I've read Naiya's MILD guide, and relaxed a bit. I didn't really recall this first dream until I got up in the next morning, although it was the first one:

Starts with a FA

I wake up and I stand up, go to my wardrobe's mirror and look at how well trimmed my beard is.
I don't remember trimming my beard
I look around a bit and I realize another thing:
We took off the mirror years ago, I must be dreaming!
I go out of my room and I decide, for the sake of curiosity go into my grandma's room, she wakes up (it's nighttime in my dream) and she stares. She asks:
-How much is 110 x 4?-
I got really scared here, because I thought that doing math in my dream could destabilize my dream, but I test it.
I think about the answer, which I thought it would be more difficult in the dreams and I reply:
-440
-Ok - She answers, turns around and goes to sleep
Suddenly, my alarm sounds and I wake up

I stand up, turn on my laptop, and start skype to chat with SammyTheSnake, we talked about that maybe I shouldn't drop SSILD only after 22 days, so I thought, alright tonight I'll try SSILDing again. We hang up, or my internet hang up, and I went to the toilet saying this mantra "I wake up, I do a RC". Went to sleep and SSILD'd:

I hear my dad shouting:
- NOT AGAIN!
My dog has been sick for these days and had a lot of diarrhea, so my dad was a little nervous about that
I hear him going upstairs and he opens my door, the light is really bright, like a blinding one
Yes, I'm dreaming, no need to RC!
He closes the door, but I can't stand up, I force myself but I wakeup
I stay still, and do a DEILD
Again, I hear noises, the door opens and a shadow goes inside my room, and instead of getting scared I kiss the shadow. There's the same problem, I can't stand up. But I roll out of my bed. I stand up.
- Whew, I'm lucid, this feels great.
As soon as I think about stabilization I wake up.
I DEILD again.
I'm standing in front of my toilet opening the door, but that doesn't make sense. As soon as I let go of the door handle I wake up.
There is a lot of noise now in the street due to the cleaning machines, so I cannot DEILD again, I try to SSILD again.
Im standing in front of the Las Palmas' St. Ann cathedral, the dream is really vivid, I think about going to explore but something better happens:
- Hey, follow me! We got to take our powers - Says my dad as he passes running beside me
This seems a good idea, so I follow him running.
We arrive at the entrance of the cathedral, there are 4 little statues: One yellow with a flame in the hand, one white with a blue flame in the hand, the other one green with a lime flame in the hand and the other one is black, with a purple flame in the hand.
My dad takes the flame from the yellow one and a yellow aura starts surrounding him.
- Look! This is awesome! - He says while shooting fire balls into the air
I was about to take the flame from the white one, but then I changed my mind and took the one from the black statue.

Some purple aura started to surround me and I was a bit shocked actually.
- Try your new powers! - Says my dad

I make a little purple flame in my palm, but instead of shooting it, I grab it and I absorb it, and I turn invisible.
- Wow, thats cool! - Says my dad

Now I get out of invisibility and I shoot a purple flame to the floor, but nothing happens.
Suddenly the dream starts to fade out, to disappear, and I really want to grab something so I can stabilize, but Im in the middle of a square so I just try to "hug" the floor. I wake up.

I DEILD again.
I'm in my bed, and I'm about to write down my dream
Oh no, I just DEILD'd, I cannot be awake. Crap! I didn't write the "superpowers dream" down! I can forget it. I gotta wake up! I wake up
I write the superpowers dream and this one, then I fell asleep, and I don't remember anything more :^)

I was walking towards a place, via roads. Some were unfamiliar. I was going to Rob's place. I was walking all over the place at first, passing by what seemed like the roads surrounding QC Memorial Circle. Then I arrived at a place that looks familiar: the walls of my elementary school. I walked up the road. I went "inside" somehow. I was looking at a lake or seaside area. It was an illusion created by technology. There were a few people there. I was looking for a shade under the tree. I sat beside them without any of us minding it. Rob texted where I was. I told him near/in front of his house. I then wondered whether I should have texted first that I was heading here since they might be elsewhere.

Jan 3 (afternoon?)

I was doing parkour. I was in some place with an unfinished building. There are a lot of sand. There was a fight. People were running away. I got frustrated and tried to attack the one shooter in camouflage clothing, which happened to be female.

It was time to sleep. I have to wake up early tomorrow but I stayed up late. I was in our hometown.

Dad was alive. I was happy he wasn't dead. We talked of going to Bambang via the PNR train. We're looking for a plumber.

Jan 3

Christian contemporary singing. Trio. Visiting colleges.

It was summer. I was in BGC training in parkour.

There are pink eggs.

I was able to do a two-step wall run. It didn't feel revolutionary but I was happy that I was able to do it.

Jan 2, 2016

I traveled to BGC to a condo unit. I think Rob and/or Lico was there.

Someone needed to take a cab. I wrote down a number for GrabCar or something.

I was lining up in the MRT. There's a sale in a mall nearby. People are also lining up, but they're on tiles (like in Civilization). I moved a bag on one tile out so people can use it. Or I think someone else took out the bag.

There was a game of some sort where everybody wins an apple. Literally one piece of apple. I thought that was ridiculous.

I was on a rooftop of a building. Alex and Bishie were there I think. They're playing around. I can see the height from the edge of the roof of the building. Several stories high.

A videogame. An old man and a monster. "Panga-yao."

I was talking with a person about how Jews are gaining power and oppressing everyone else, including Muslims. There's a hint of anti-Semitism and conspiracy theory. I mentioned to the person how hypocritical that is, defending one religious group (Muslims) while demonizing another (Jews). The person tried to it dismiss it and change the topic.

---

Notes:

- Most of the dream was hazy but the last part where I was arguing with the person was very lucid. Too bad it ended quickly.
- The person is familiar in real life but I forgot his/her name.

Jan 1, 2016

Vague. Hazy. I was in a bathroom. There's a lot of dirt. I think I was trying to take a dump.
