non-lucid

At the store and someone complains. It makes the cashier lady cry. The cashier is really passive but she has to write down the interaction and it shows on a screen I can see. She writes that she basically told the customer that she was the boss and he had to listen. I was going to take a picture and show D because I thought it was funny but I remembered I only had an old fashioned flip phone. Everyone started calling their S.O’s so I called mine even though we were in the same store. We had to be secretive about it. I felt very in love with him. I saw a certain man twice in two roles, I figured he was a filler like in movies.
Hailey called and there was a lot of silence on the phone. She was upset. She told me she talked to a psychic who told her that the toilet is a symbol for how she looks down on other women and it’s true. I told her some people do that to make themselves feel better. I’m walking through a building. I say goodbye in my head and hang up. I forget to say it out loud so she texts me “ok?” I go to text her back but never finish.
D and I stay at a hotel. Our room has only double beds. Every room has stickers of football mascots. I see the back of a dolphin one on someone’s door. We have a partial ocean view, but the weather is wild and we basically have a raging waterfall and river right outside our door. I go to the shower and my mom is there, she starts talking about Alesia while I’m trying to use a homemade product.

Al.W. drew a funny picture.

A male and female are captured and trying to escape. They take a chance because they’ve had enough. They slide down a hill and the guy complains because he gets rug burn from his shirt. The girl thinks he’s whiny. At the bottom the girl sees a detached train car that says “resources” when she goes in it blows up because it was a trap. That was sneaky of the enemy. A little dog runs toward the guy, it’s badly burnt but it survives.

I dreamed of being lucid and playing Mario with team members on DV. Someone posted in response to a criticism : “excuse us while we try to figure out our ass from our head.”

I tried to pee like a man but couldn’t, and it ended up getting everywhere.

In the woods and it’s very crowded. There are tents everywhere and lot of people. I see a big grizzly bear walking around and I’m really stressed out about it. I want to warn people but I’m not sure of the bear’s intentions and I don’t want to aggravate it. Why isn’t it hibernating anyway? I also see a moose and the moose comes toward me, it gets very close and it kinda makes me nervous because i’m not sure if it’s aggravated or not.

Danielle was complaining about a headache

FA/hypnagogic imagery. I was frustrated that I was tired but couldn't fall asleep and then woke up and realized I had been asleep

Lately i've been trying to improve my recall by setting 4 alarms in the night. it seems to be working

I go sleep at 2:30, wake up in 6:45 then try to SSILD as NickSeagull suggested. I couldn't get it to work but i did managed to dream very vividly...

I'm going to my old middle school to take a test about how i improved myself over their teachings in the 11 years i graduated. I see my friends there, and we talk about how we don't like to take the test, and glad we don't have to go to the school anymore and see that geography teacher.(she doesn't exist irl btw)

As we move to the class, SURPRISE! There is the geography teacher with the tests! She hands out the tests and i look at the paper, there are lots of trigonometry and i think some history questions that i don't know the answer for. I try to peek at my friends paper to cheat but he just says that he is finished and leaves. I peek at another classmate's paper, she looks like she is struggling but still its better than mine so i fill the sheet with her answers

The geography teacher comes near me and looks at my paper, and says "good, you still remember something". I smile and give her my paper, and we talk a little bit and i don't know why i was hating her, she seems nice enough I go to the cafeteria and eat some sandwich then go outside.

I wake up by the alarm, write a little about the dream then close my eyes...

I'm still at the same school, it's a little different than irl but it's better imo. There is a basketball court that turned into a concert stand. I go there and ask to the girl who will be playing? She says "YOU!" and i find myself at the middle of the stage. Just when i think "where is my guitar?", she hands me my own guitar. As i'm trying to understand what is happening, a cameraman and an interviewer enters the scene, asking me questions about something. I say to the interviewer that i'll answer her questions later and i strum a chord on my guitar, which shatters the D string. BAH! It's too much! I leave the guitar on the ground and tell them to fix this and as i storm out i find my friends laughing madly. I tell them it'll probably took half an hour for them to fix this mess and we can take my car for a ride. We hop into the car but almost all the roads are closed for maintenance, the ramps are very steep and my friends and i have no sense of direction apparently We end up on a highway, then a car tries to make us crash by bumping rear right of my car but fails miserably and crashes to the left side. Btw i notice one white car is following us a long time so i tell my friends we need to ditch the car. One of my friend tells us we can take a bus nearby, so i listen to him and take a fast turn to the bus stop.

I wake up again. It takes a while for me to sleep, but the dream continues...

We are in the bus now, and just as we think we are safe, two shady looking guys in long coats and a woman enters the bus in the next stop. Guys took a seat front of us and the woman seats in the back. The bus starts to move, and the guys look at us. I get up and go near them and tell them "What do you want" with a bit angry tone. Three of them just pulls their pistols and looks at me without saying anything. At this moment i notice that we're nearing a police station. I yell at the driver to stop at the police station! The woman says "Oh, we're going there anyways" and smiles.

Waking up again! Damn... I close my eyes while hoping to continue the dream...

I'm in the police station but it's not very clear. It's like i'm daydreaming. Dreaming? Yes i was trying to sleep! As i think of that, i feel like my consciousness has been transferred to my dream body, i look around for 5 seconds, feel fuzzy and weird. But at the same time i could feel my real body a little. My vision went darker and darker but i feel like i'm still in the dream. I think my dream eyes were closed maybe? I open them, i wake up :/

Trying to sleep, hard!

I don't know if it's the same dream or not, but the building i'm in definitely looks like a police station, but unfortunately i can't understand it's a dream and miss my chance of being lucid. And it wasn't as vivid or clear as the other dreams i had this night. But here's what i remember;

-I was talking to a girl who flirted me irl 2 days ago, i wasn't really into her then, but i always flirt back in a dream But i didn't stay there long though because i think i had stuff to do. I go back in time to rescue some people from magicians who sacrifices humans for power. I remember some battle scenes from that, especially cutting one warriors arm. But it wasn't too vivid as i said before. Maybe it was a job given to me at the police station, i don't know

I wake up.

I was in my room in the house I used to live in with my parents. I was surfing the web on my laptop and I had the tv from the apartment in my room.

First day of the competition and my recall is kill

WBTB attempt (2 points)

Non-lucid fragment (0.5 points): on a Sunday morning, at the end of this week, about 8:00 AM, sending a Skype message to friends offering gaming

EDIT: Non-lucid fragment (0.5 points): repairing my telescope, the primary mirror is taken out and dirty

I'm in the kitchen at night. My laptop is on the kitchen table, I look outside through the window, I want privacy, is anyone out there? I close the blinds and head off to bed. I feel an odd stirring. Am I sleeping? I feel as if I'm leaving my body. I try to scramble to my bed, if I can get there I can keep this up and enter lucidity. (???)

I hear a crash. I get up from my bed and now I'm in my childhood home. I see my old friend from school has somehow gotten in and he has two younger friends with him. They are all drunk. I ask him what does he think he's doing?!? My mom is going to call the cops immediately if she wakes up to this! He doesn't care, too drunk to really know what's going on. I think he is so drunk he has come here by mistake, he lives a floor lower. (he didn't in real life)

I try to shoo them out but the enter the living room, my friend is in the process of passing out on the bed there. I get angry and frustrated at this whole thing, I try to put my foot down and get them to go. Right when I get my friend and the other young guy out, one of them has made his way to the balcony and is lighting a cigarette. I tell him to really leave now, this is absolutely unbelievable. He stares at me with drunk apathy trying to light his cigarette. He's pretty big and I know I can't force him to go physically. I leave, just muttering "unbelievable" under my breath.

The other guy leaves and finally with all of them out I close the door and make sure it is locked. I pull on the door a few times to make sure. I see a whole crew of people are there sitting in the stairwell. I really don't want them there making noise but at least they are not inside the apartment. There is a window along the left of the door and I can see out of it (there wasn't one in real life) and as I look out I see they are all showing me the finger and laughing. I try to just make my way to bed.

My mom didn't wake up and I suddenly see my sister there. She must have sneaked in. She isn't too drunk or anything. I tell her about Ale and stuff, I say his parents are so rich they rented the place under ours for him and he must have made a mistake. Our old cat is on my sister and she get up. I pet her and watch her walk around the mattress, I try to be gentle with her. I pet her and she walks towards my mom's bed.

I had terrible dream recall last night. Only two dreams remembered, both very short.
One I was at Kohls, looking at a boot sale and seeing none I liked.
I was at a party at my house. My sister and her friends, along with a random boys were playing a board game on the floor in the kitchen. I decided to go upstairs, and I remember having to walk through a lot of people to make it. My friends were upstairs. And that was pretty much all I remembered.

I'm sorry I'm so late guys, I've been on a trip and no time to post.
I am at my friends house and we are anticipating someone to come to inspect her house. I remember seeing the inspectors come out the window. There was one concrete mixer and several cars that came, and parked in a parking lot next to the house. When they came in, it seemed like they were just normal people. They also brought in a lot of dogs and cats. I remember walking with my friend into the kitchen, and seeing one of the "inspector" dogs fall from the ceiling. We laughed when we saw it get up right away, acting as nothing had happened.

Tonight i dreamt about:

I was in a room, in a restaurant or bar probably, watching how a woman did numbers of money laundry during times of war. She risked her life and still she was doing that job. She could die at any time and she was still laundring money. The numbers were like 500,000 to 125,000, she asked for the rest but the old man told her it was spent in the process. Anyways she kept those numbers on a notepad.

Then i see that a guy called Rick (Theon Greyjoy) comes in the room with a lot of armour. People don't care about him. But then a war enemy comes in alone, Ramsey Snow, and everyone wanted to capture him. He had two blades, he had nothing on top, not even a shirt, and he went to sleep in the same bed with Rick, like if each other protected from everyone. So nobody did a thing even though they wanted to.

On another dream i was with my father and his business partner. We were on a restaurant at night, perhaps on a train. This guy told him something about being aware in dreams and i replied that it is called lucid dreaming, thinking that he had his first one the night before. My father was looking at me like wanting to tell him more. I told him that there is no such thing as more layers in a lucid dream, that it is just one dream, it is not like meditation and the levels of awareness. Even though i said that to him i didn't get lucid myself.

A vague memory of a dream where I leave my mom's laptop at a friend's place, how will I get it back?

Mess at Lidl
I go to a Lidl. It looks different than usual, the cashiers are on a different level. As I approach it I see it is almost empty, no customers, and police are everywhere. I peek in and say are the registers open, I have things I want to pay for. They say yes and I go and pay. I have groceries that will cost about 10 bucks, I don't have any more money. She is checking out a lot of stuff and the total is going over 40. Did I take too much? I'm going to have to remove a lot of items. I realize that the cashier has rung up stuff from other people behind me into my tab. They are miserable, middle-aged men there who bought lots of fancy food items and are aggravated at the inconvenience. I try to be very happy and relaxed so the checkout woman doesn't feel too stressed.

The Cat's Voluntary Fast to Kill the Worms
I'm in an apartment I don't recognize, my mom lives there? I see a cat in front of me, there is a bathroom to my left. I'm told the cat is on a voluntary fast it won't eat, to kill some worms it has in its intestines. It's like I can see into the cat with x-ray vision. I see two massive worms in white in its intestines. I'm told they are so large that if they got out they could fight a mouse and win. I smell that the cat has some poop stuck on its butt fur. I should remove it but I'm afraid of getting the poop on my fingers and getting worms too.

Outside getting Taunted
It's night time I'm by my mom's place on a forested walking path by a bench. I'm walking to a female friends place. I see a group of hooded guys, I pull my hood up so they wouldn't bother me. I try to walk by but they taunt me, one kicks me in the ass. I yell out and tell him to watch it and the whole group laughs at me. I turn, getting real angry and I wake up. In the blurriness of waking up I see one of the guys, his back turned to me, as if he's looking at the book shelf. I focus and see nothing.

Gun Religion
I'm inside a central bus station, a little kid asks for cigarettes, he says I look like the type of guy that would have counterfeit Malrboros. (?!?) I have a leather jacket on. I tell him not to even start, it's going to be a thing he'll regret for life. I walk into the bus.

It's morning, sun is rising like the summer, I'm out to the east of the city. I'm walking on the sidewalk by the highway. It's so early there is no one around. I walk and I'm approached by two people, they have darker skin, they look Indian, and have good clothes on, like Mormons. They approach me and I decide to be polite and listen. They tell me to go and watch a movie at their place that will change my life. I'm about to tell them I know enough about Jesus but being too polite I go with them.

I'm in their place, it's like a basement with windows by the edge of the wall and the ceiling. It is well furnished. I watch a movie that starts with a map of the world when all the continents were still together, and shows how people first emerged in the center of the landmass and as the continents were torn apart people were sent around the world. That can't be right, I think, the two things happened in way different times.

The video shows how different cultures emerged in different places, the first cultures. What is the point of this video? Is this even Christianity?!? I look around and see cardboard cutouts and posters of people with guns in weird outfits, are these pro-gun religious people?

In the kitchen a hippie woman has made homemade ginger ale, it isn't too sweet and has lots of fibrous strands in it. I like it and compliment it to her.

Giant Bugs
I'm in my friends old place, the summer morning sun is coming through the windows. The place is mixed with a summer cabin, I see a wooden wall. There are giant mosquitoes flying around. I have to kill them for him. I have a giant ax and I try to kill them. Right as I swing at one I stop, this is going to cause holes in the walls. I look at the ax and the blade is actualyl flat, it's like a hammer with a really small face. I can use it without wrecking the walls.

I see some taxidermy-ed mosquitoes around, proud trophies.

????
Goofy and Pluto are kicked off the spaceship that has the rest of humanity escaping the end of the world. (who are all characters from Donkey Kong Country). It looks like an old-school sci-fi craft. As Goofy pleads to be taken in, they take Pluto in but then kick the dog out so Goofy doesn't have to die alone. They give him four cigarettes as sympathy. The spaceship launches away, Goofy and Pluto with four cigarettes sitting on the sofa of my childhood home.

Vague image of huts in the Pacific during World War II where each hut has a secret marijuana bush that then causes the hut to burst in flames?!?!?

I'm in a city, it's as usual made of long houses interlocked with eachothers and very steep. I need to protect a small group of children from a man. I try to have them to run and get away, but they are too scared of stubborn to listen to me and I have to fight the man head on. I shapeshift into something quatripedal, with fangs and claws, attacking this man to keep him from snatching the kids. They run from me and I chase them into a house big enough to be a manor and scramble up some wooden stairs, shifting back and huddling in a corner between two dark rooms. I can see that one of them is a bedroom, with the single bed close enought to the half open door that I can see under it. I'm trembling all over, feeling both vindicated and hurt by the children's fear. My sister and a yound man find me here, and crouch to be on eye level with me, talking soothing nonsense.
The man take a halfstep to the left and a very strange insect crawls from behind him. It's a light, soft green color, and looks like a centiped the size of a small dog. On its head is a mass of feelers looking like ribbons or feathers, gently moving like algae in water. I'm both repulsed and fascinated by it, and I huddle a little closer to the wall when it advances. It stops before I get too inconfortable, and something grows out of it's back; it's butterfly wings, the same soft green color with a big eye-like spot and a long tail. It looks like a luna butterfly, and it's pretty, in a weird way.

After the cataclysm
I'm looking at a globe. Now, I'm looking at a globe online, after some kind of cataclysm has hit, looking at an area high up in the northern hemisphere. There's a large unlabeled landmass, and around it are fairly small islands, each marked with a country name. I see the US, the UK, France, and many others. I'm glad all the countries survived, though I'm saddened to see how small everything is now.

Now I'm outside, at night, in an impromptu campground filled with people who survived the cataclysm and no longer have a home. We're pretty comfortable here, as we made good preparations before the event, but there are many people with nothing at all. I look past a fence to the ocean and remember that we won't be staying here for much longer, as this area will soon be underwater.

Now I'm walking along a road looking at GPS on a small display on my phone's portable charger. I hadn't realized it, but it seems the charger can act as a second display to the phone. I'm using it now since this display draws less power than the phone's built-in display, and who knows when I'll be able to plug either device again. I get some kind of weird popup asking whether the charger or the phone should be considered the GPS source; I'm confused for a moment, then realize what it means and pick the correct answer.

Now I know that, if I follow this road for a while, I'll hit a certain intersection. I'll need to turn right along <some road> and keep going, and eventually I'll reach where we need to be.

Now it's day. I'm standing outside my car, in a deserted shopping center parking lot. I'm annoyed both at the car and at myself since it broke down half way to where I was going. Now I'm doing something - some kind of maintenance - that's gotten my hands really nasty and greasy. I see my wife drive by and I want to call her, to tell her she passed me, but I don't want to get my phone dirty. I'm working with another guy, and his hands are clean, so I move my arm to shift my jacket so he can see the phone and ask him to grab it, hit home, and tap the icon showing my wife's picture.

Now I'm at a run-down home. There's a screen door that's not working right - something's wrong with the pneumatic cylinder. Now there's a guy with me oiling it using some crazy contraption he built himself that has four cans of oil arranged in a circle tat he can pull the piston through to oil every surface at once. I'm impressed, and he tells me something of the device's origin.

Talking about marriage
I'm on a conference call with Kaleb and Chad (I'm either driving or at a coffee shop, not sure which). Kaleb asks Chad if the "Not a constructor" error has been fixed. Chad says it isn't, and Kaleb asks what it even is, so Kaleb starts a screen share so Chad can guide him to see what's going on. When the share first comes up, Jira is on the screen, and Sara says "Now THAT'S a kanban board!"

Now we're talking about the woman Kaleb wants to marry which is strange, considering he's been married for years. I ask him if he's given her the ring yet, and he hems and haws, explaining he really wanted to do twelve/twelve, ten/ten, eight/eight, etc (something to do with liking even months?), though he likes ten best. I thought he'd been aiming for an April wedding, so I'm pleased that I may yet beat him which is also strange, since I've been married longer than he has.


A tight tunnel
I'm seeing a view through a tight tunnel. It's constructed on both sides and above and has packed dirt below. A pipe is running along the ceiling. I'm very thankful I don't have to crawl through there - it looks really claustrophobic, and there's no way to turn around. Now my view has shifted to a 90 degree corner that looks difficult (but not impossible) to get around. Now my view has shifted to the next corner. This time, there are two pipes - one coming from each direction - and they make the clearance low enough that it won't be possible to get through. I consider that, since the bottom is dirt, it may be possible to dig down a little to have enough clearance, but it'll be tiring and tough, and there may not be enough area to spread out the dirt.

Now I'm beyond the tunnel's exit, hiding behind a beat-up car in some kind of war zone. The combatants haven't yet seen me, and I'm examining the area to decide what to do next.

D1: I was at a train station in the middle of the woods with some people. A murder happened and me and the people I was with were responsible. We somehow compacted the body into a small size and threw it in a small trashcan in the bathroom. We were scared that our DNA was all over the trash can and the body, but lots of other people using the bathroom also used the trash can so their DNA was added to it. The whole dream was spent trying to cover up this murder/not get caught. The dream started to repeat itself. At one point in this dream, we somehow compacted the body into small cubes and I shoved them in my mouth to hide it. I woke up gagging.

D2: I was at my boss's house and he was showing me his dogs, as I was going to pet-sit for him while he was away. He showed me into the basement where he would play with them. There were 3 medium-sized dogs. His neighbor's house was connected so when he saw us he came to say hi. His neighbor was an older man, maybe 60 ish with graying hair. We were in the basement and I was standing next to this neighbor and my hand accidentally grazed his thigh. "Did you do that on purpose," he asked, flirty. "No!" I replied. "Yes you diiiiid" he said, creepily. Then he started touching me inappropriately. A girl next to me saw and started telling him to stop. We went up stairs and I started freaking out because I knew I would have to come to this house several more times to look after the dogs. I started to have a panic attack.

D1 - There was a creature that did not need human comforts, it moved out of the house where it had been as a human. It now lived in a hollowed out tree, surviving on things left on the tree floor. It was very cold and dark but it did not care. It just existed. Children came to the tree and it did not mind or pay them attention.
It went to work and carried out its duties with minimal interaction with others their and was able to dupe them into thinking it was a human.
The creature reminded me of the groak from the moomins.


D2 - At college sitting outside with a group of others, a girl is tuning up her guitar. A string is broken. It is a steel length with barbs on it. I offer to fix it and use my powers to melt and then stretch it back to normal.

D3 - Taking my daughter (when little) to a cinema to see a film. The cinema is on two floors and is very stark, qrey concrete walls. I buy tickets only to find the picture is not on, as the projector is not working. People are occupying themselves by eating in an upstairs resteraunt or drawing on the large screen with is not in use.
Eventually the film is back on but it is not the right film, no one cares as it is a children's film and pretty much the same. But I know my daughter will care and try to get a refund. I cannot however find my receipt or remember if I did infact purchase a ticket.

D4 - Some of the college students from the earlier dream are having a car race, the car is multicoloured with slogans all over it, mostly green thougth. We are in last place with the other cars infront bunched up. I use my powers to fix the car in time to speed ahead and win at the last moment.
In the student bar after their is a guy who was on the other team. I am concerned he will pick a fight with our team leader, so I invite him to sit with me at a table, away from the others. I then will be able to use my powers on him if he tries anything.
I ask fi who is there if she will hold my hand, I use my powers and when we hold hands it does a glowy red thing.

I feel I have been living a life with no joy. Fairly bleak like the groak.

Non-Dream Lucid Dream Non-Lucid Dream False Awakening

I have been reading up on LD for a while now and decided to ease myself into the process with some mild...well...MILD xD So I didn't expect to have a LD on my first night, but I did have a semi-vivid dream! Which is always a good thing!

Wednesday 6th/1/2016

Background Info: I went to bed at around 22:30 and fell asleep at around 23:15-30. Befire then, I was doing some MILD mantras along the lines of 'I am aware I am dreaming.' I wasn't on planning on doing a wake back to bed due to school the next day, so I just tried to ease myself into the process of preparing for a LD.

It was fairly mild outside. For some bizarre reason, I was in a scrap yard where cars go to meet their demise. The pace was small, with towering towers of rusty four-wheel drives and a pools of various litter. The are did not look pleasant and certainly didn't smell it either. In the distance, the sun was setting rather quickly, emitting a nice, orange glow which brought a sense of warmth to the scene. Not much was happening to be honest, and I had no clue why I was at this crap yard. Accompanying me for this dream was my own Mother, her partner Robbie and Robbie's 1 year old daughter, Marina, who resided in a pram next to her mum. In the corner of the scrap yard was some kind if shack where you could order pizza, specifically Dominoes. Being hungry and bored, we decided to order one for later.

(I don't actually recall the ordering process, but I remember the conclusion at the scrap yard.)

Me and mum had gone to order whilst Robbie waited with the pram. When me and my Mum returned, Robbie spotted a small Motofone amongst a pile of junk. She pulled it out and decided she'd keep it for some strnage reason. According to her, she'd always wanted one when she was younger. This didn't make sense considering they wasn't around when she was younger, but I just let that thought slip and clapped her for her lucky find.



Fast-forward a second or two and we were back at the at home. Now joining the cast of this dream was both my Grand-parents and my Autie. They all were in the lounge, watching something on TV. My mother was in the kitchen. Robbie had placed the motofone on the window sill and was now sat on the floor, entertaining Marina. Next thing I now, Mum was outside the living room window, getting something out of the car. When she came out of the car, she looked down the road to spot the pizza we ordered make its arrival. I could amazingly hear her through the window say;
"It's here!"
Before could all get up and head into the kitchen, the motofone began ringing. Robbie tried to answer it but she couldn't. She could not accept the call or decline it. It just would not stop ringing. So we took it in the kitchen when we left the lounge.

In the kitchen were three female strangers that I had never seen before. They were just standing in a group minding their own business. I distinctly remember one who had blonde hair and wore a leather jacket with a fur collar. But the other two's appearances I can't remember.

I marched past the females, with the rest of the family in tow and approached the backdoor where my mum and the pizza delivery woman waited. Strangely, when I opened the door, the rest of my family who wer ebhind me, had all of a sudden beat me to outside. Odd. I now had the motofone in my hand, and it was still ringing. Because we ordered the pizza at the scrap yard, I assumed that Dominoes had something to do with the phone as it seemed they ran the scrapo yard. I showed the pizza delivery woman the phone but she did not seem one bit interested.

I then woke up! My mum was in my room telling me I'd be late for school and that my alarm needed to be louder to actually wake me up. I then realised that my alarm was ringing and it was the exact same sound as the motofone in my dream. Bloody deceitful alarm!
