non-lucid

This dream was actually from a couple of days ago, (Can't quite remember what day.) during the time that I wasn't posting. But I figured that since I had no dream recall this morning since I stayed up a little too late that I would use this time and motivation to post this dream.

I was at a clothing store attending some kind of fashion show. Both men and women were displaying outfits. Sadly they were not particularly dreamlike, entertaining or cool for the most part. Nothing that I recalled.

I then remember this one woman who was showing off a red dress. She was middle aged and not the most attractive, past her prime. I began wishing that she were more attractive, and to my suprise, she started to change to a younger version of herself. She started doing some kind of dance shaking her hips. I wanted her to stop and go away, and she did.

I realized my control over the woman was due to the fact that I was dreaming. The fashion show went away and Manei appeared. She was wearing this cute pink top and asked for my opinion on it.

“I like it. Do you think I could get one in my size and in black?”

*confused look*

The dream shifted to the front driveway of my house. The theme of clothing continued, though. I was offered several choices of outfits. One of them was a blue suit and tie. Pass. Another was a white martial arts uniform. Better. It changes to green. Awesome, but it has all of these patches/awards sewn on it. I couldn’t make them go away.

I changed myself into a black martial arts uniform.

“No, Jade! No more black!”

“But why tho?”

“Black is the color of evil and shadow.”

I spoke back to her in the language of thought. No it is not. I always think of black as infinity. In taekwondo, the black belt represents the infinite universe that is all that is left to be explored. Someone who is of the highest level. And even if I’m not the highest level of lucid dreamer, giving myself a little confidence boost couldn’t hurt…

Besides you agreed we would stop being controlling over one another...

Hello

Haven't been on in a couple months, mostly because of new beginnings in my life and stuff, and starting to change myself into becoming better. This also lead me into not practicing Lucid dreaming so now I'm a novice again, trying to get it back.

Last night, it was a non lucid, however, this one hit my heart. It was a nice short dream that I like to share for how cute it was.

It started with me on a school bus heading back to a school. It was a very long ride so I'm just looking out the window listening to music. I look around to see people moving from seat to seat. I take headphones off and begin to see what's going on. kids are tasked to get partners to which I thought it was grouping for a activity. It was actually, loving partners.

So I get up and stretch and a girl across from me stares at me. She was a beautiful blonde girl with a colorful outfit. I sit next to her to say hi and she just gives a cute smile. The girl, her friend, and I begin to talk and the friend wants to know why I just sat next to her. Naturally I'm a sociable person so I just used that as a excuse. Mainly, however, I just wanted to know what was happening.

Me and the girl began to talk about anything and just having a good time. After figuring out the whole "activity" I told her I just wanted to talk to her and not for the whole partnership thing, to which she smiled. By this time, a lot of people were partnered up, except for several. As we began to get closer to our destination, the girl asks can I be her partner, and gives me a diamond. I said yes and we hugged.

for the bus ride, we just cuddled and talk while her friend just gives cute remarks in excitement. apparently a lot of guys asked this girl and she said no. She told me I genuinely conversed with her which is why she asked, and the diamond was to represent our new found relationship for eternity. The dream gets sort of hazy towards the end but I just remember arriving at that school, realizing her school was merging with mine, and they were an all girl school and mines was all men. The teachers wanted us to have "love" as to get along, where as me and the girl were in love. I remember us holding hands laughing as we approach the doors.

It was beautiful and cute. It was mainly seeing this build-up of me getting close to this girl and slowly developing this intimate relationship. It felt great when this "human communication" (I use quotes cause it's a dream lol) was taking it's course naturally. It was a nice dream for a change as lately, most dreams have been chaotic. It was just nice to see a normal loving dream

I'm going to personally try to be on more often this time and record dreams. I hope you liked this one.

Dreamed that i was improvising with Alec and a bunch of others guys at an audition. Sarah was there watching us all. We were playing this game first were everyone would go around in a circle and copy the next guy. the first guy to go put a ball in his mouth, a little ping pong ball that is. i tried to copy but my mouth wouldn't open wide enough. the next game everyone walked over to a closet and pretended to come out as a monster. alec was before me and he came out as some monster that i can't remember. i found my my monster by sticking my left arm out and beginning to walk with a limp, i don't know exactly what i was maybe and evil scientist. i kept saying "yes ...hehehehehk eyes" and limping around creepily. Everyone laughed. i sat shook off the character and sat down. sarah was laughing which made me happy because it meant i did a good job and would maybe make it on the team.

before all this happened i was at a party with my sister i think. i didn't know everyone there.

before that i was driving around the mountain dirt roads with someone having a good time.

then later in the dream i had to drive through the same mountains but with my mom and she was freaking out about everything and really annoying me. i did not enjoy the drive as much

later i went back to the same parter my sister was at but with some girl.

Dream Fragment
I at someone's house and they said JoshA was coming over. I was a bit nervous, considering we haven't seen each other in a while. I greet him and break the nerves by asking him about a computer game I was playing. I think i remember seeing his mrs.

Beware: somewhat mature content below.

Very long NLD in which I hang out with old friends & family for a long time in various places. J is kind of down because she keeps feeling out of place without me because I keep running off to hang with other people. I want to hang out with J, too, but everyone keeps splitting up to different places. At some point I see M and want to hang out with/woo him, but decide against it. This whole thing turns into a party at J's parents' house with all of our family there and all of our friends from that time/place. The back yard is different and doesn't have a pool anymore. There are probably hundreds of people there. I walk around, amazed. I don't recognize probably 80% of the people because everyone invited their own friends, too. People of all ages are there, but not many very old people besides direct family. I run around this scene, inside and outside of the house, for quite a while. Losing and regaining J several times. A lot of this was very vivid, but there's too much to recount and too little time. So eventually, I'm walking up and down this long setup out in the yard. The "setup" is a bunch of garden plots with what looks like corn growing in them in different, weird ways. Jon Stewart is there, walking up and down the line in a grey suit, explaining to everyone how each plot works. I come to find out that these plants are all actually marijuana. I end up right next to Jon as he demonstrates one of the plot setups to me. There's some kind of small, natural stream winding through this one and there's a pipe going over it. All around this are tall corn-like weed plants. Jon tells me that once the plants are established, they build up very thickly around the banks of the water, creating a high-yield situation. He starts ripping plants away to expose very thick, close-together stalks. I'm super impressed by this and I express my admiration. Jon gives a friendly response, but his face belies his general exhaustion and upset-ness at the world's problems. I try to make small talk, but he clams up, so I walk off. I end up far away in a fancy store in the city. I recognize no one and become sad because I've lost J. I'm about to text her when I see her walk in the door with Sh and K. J and I run off alone together, galavanting through the aisles of clothes like fools, freaking out all of the rich ladies that are there shopping. I start chanting, "Fancy, fancy, fancy, fancy!" and J starts chanting along with me. Eventually I leave, alone again. Next thing I remember is watching weird videos online with J and Sh and somebody else. There's some videos of drunk people doing stupid crap, then one comes up of some youngish guys in a weird room all dancing around. They're just wearing cut off shirts and nothing else, but their bottoms are blurred out. The room reminds me of a glorified garage. There's a big table in the middle and cabinets around the sides which have been painted bright green and pink. Somehow I enter into this video and become lucid. I start exploring the house and I talk to some of the guys and wave to the camera that was filming before, making a silly face and wondering if people will see me on the video later lol.. stupid. I make my way to the front of the house and find two ladies cuddled up together in a big bed by the front door. There were kids in some of the rooms, that's important. I talk to them and they seem awesome. One of them disappears almost immediately and I remain talking to the other. I say something to her like, "You got it made, girl! You got [something I can't remember] (we high-five), penis (we high-five harder, laughing), and kids! Kids are cool, right?" We high-five one last time. I know this chick is highly lesbo and was with that other chick, and now she's coming onto me. She walks towards me, pushing me back against a wall. I'm much taller than her and that way I'm looming over her kinda turns me on, too.. I am starting to lose control, so I say to her that I'd love to, but I don't want to lose lucidity before I do any tasks. (Finally thought of them.. jeez) But she doesn't move, only smiles and leans up for a kiss. I lean down a little before stopping myself, but then can't help but grab her butt a little. It's way more realistic than I'd expected and it breaks my brain. I end up dragging her around with me, trying to find a way out of the house, only to find myself trapped and alone again in some dark, cramped hallways.

Non-Dream, Non-Lucid, Lucid, False Awakening

Well, what now? I couldn't even be happier than this as I haven't gained a restful night for this week. Finally, here it is! I went to bed at 11 PM. Since it took me half an hour to actually fall asleep so I just repeated my mantras over and over, with intentions to get these three: vivid/great recall/lucidity in my dream. Drifted off afterwards. Couldn't recall much, but oh well. I can remember a part where myself was on my laptop (as usual, daily life) chatting with people through my favorite IRC client: HexChat, inside my house. I was on another network though. That one was a game server I'm moderating (still being a half-op with +h flag). Great place to reality check with letters? Yes, indeed. I didn't do any at all, thanks to me. (Can't even whine.) As always, I don't really like getting into discussion too much so I just lurked around and saw people chatting. Soon, I found someone's name suffix toggling between two suffixes (I'm not sure, but I assume it's something like traditional 'busy' and 'away' status) at rate of once per second. It just looked familiar to how Dreamviews' !asleep, !brb, !away mechanism works (name|suffix). That person was on top of online users, their circle color in front of their name was also changing between red and orange! Completely impossible for HexChat. Highest rank possible on top is a person with +q flag, which will generate orange. Red one doesn't exist. That person (I decided to left unnamed for this journal) in waking life was only ranked with +a flag (SOP), yellow circle with less priority than +q should appear. I failed to even care about this, as I generally assumed orange as away mark and red as busy mark. Soon afterwards, a kid in-game (can't remember name/rank) said out a thing (message from in-game will be formatted and relayed to IRC server with a plugin) which, as always, was annoying and generally senseless. (Same, not going to leave any message here.) Things went on as that rapid-nickname-changing-user replied. Of course, it went as I expected it to be, both in physical and mental world.

I abruptly woke up from that without remembering what happened afterwards. Stayed on bed for few minutes, thinking back until I gave up before doing RCs then got out of bed. It was somewhere around 2:50 - 2:55 AM. (Assumed according to information I got from my phone afterwards) I went out of my bedroom and drank some water, took my phone which was charging outside of my room back in my room. Checked the time and it was 2:57 AM. I noted my dream and put the phone away, before drifting off to my sleep with mantras again. Hoping I would remember more for another dream. (I forgot to turn the fan in my room off. That eventually led me to a running nose next morning.)

I felt myself walking down the staircase as if I just came back home (it looked dark, as if I came out of my bedroom from natural awakening at night though), coming to place I and my sister usually stay. Of course, my laptop on my small desk to the left with a printer, followed with my sister's desktop PC. It looked exactly the same as how it looked in real life. I then looked for my Novation Launchpad in front of my printer and found 4 (or probably more). (I only own one Launchpad Mini in real life though. However, what I saw here looked like Launchpad MK2.) I picked up the top one and started running my index finger on the texture, feeling every millimeter of it. I just smelled it once before smiling to myself, then got some great texture feel on my wood desk. As I was about to plug it to my laptop, I noticed strange light coming from back of my launchpad. It was red light from a hole as small as most devices' reset button IWL has. I assumed that my launchpad needed some 'charging' so I just plugged it to my laptop. I was about to start doing things, but I just plugged it off and plugged it to my sister's desktop PC as I found it taking my desk space. (First, Launchpad doesn't have that light or that hole at all. Second, Launchpad doesn't even have a battery. It's a midi controller which requires plugging to your PC if you just want to use it.)

I somehow heard my friend calling me, asking for technical help. They claimed they were not able to plug their laptop's charger, it just didn't work. (Scene started changing without me noticing, to a classroom where we usually need to use laptops. Most of my friends' laptops have shitty batteries so they always have to use school's energy. I didn't even see my friends in dream though.) I then got on my chair right at 'my' desktop. (Wait, no, seriously. How the hell my sister's desktop PC is here, right on school's desk now? I thought I'm supposed to use my laptop.) I accessed the router. Though, I found it weird that I didn't have to input any passwords at all. (Router is interfering with energy source, much wow. A student can easily hack into school's network router, much wow.) I just looked around on the text and found many places to put things on. These are some of what I can remember.

"Editing message":
[long multi-line message box with some messages on it]
(I suspected what this was, since it shouldn't even appear. I just wanted to see the example then just saw it immediately. A message popped up as if I finished editing some information, with a message "Your network is now mildly better protected!". Weird, eh?)

"Unfortunate IPs:"
[8 message boxes next to each other on the sides, each with length of --------------]
(First four contained something, I assumed it was usual IP. Though, I remember myself removing one of these and added a thing to another box. There were some messages near this place saying that two microphone/speaker devices were being plugged in, only one is allowed at time. I generally assumed this might be cause of that problem also.

Much more boxes I can't remember right now. I should have taken notes of them this morning. Geez.

I woke up at 6 AM after some problem solving, right at time my mom tried to wake my sister up in another room. Tried recalling things, but couldn't really remember anything before launchpad part. I also noted things down to my phone when recalling. Stayed there for 4-5 minutes before I had to get out of my bed and starting my day. I still don't understand how I didn't recognize weird systems around me. But oh well, that was also one of recurring dream signs I have, eh?

There was a shed which is locked inside and I am inside. Around ten people are outside the long shed door. Even if there is the door, I can feel see them they are standing there with some weapons. One guy in the centre, want to break the door.
Somebody with me afraid. I just think what he(outside centre guy) wants. Let me let him in.
I open the door in the middle by tearing apart by hand. He open further and steps in side. He is wielding an axe, which he could have used to break the door. But once he is in, he is not aggressive, just see around. I feel to the somebody who feared that "see he is not at all harmful".

[wakeup]

This also short dream.

Time:5:00am
I sleep on a cement floor in a wide hall, a big guy is going to sleep there too. I was irritated a bit why he has to sleep there. There was a lady a man, invisible to me say, then where he has to sleep? and why not ? I wake up from the sleep and move away. The big guy extends his hand and take my pillow.
I walk away
[wakeup]

I see this dream is very short. I can't remember before that. I got to something about this.

I'm at school. It's PE, and for some reason half of the gym was turned into a swimming pool. You'd think that would've been enough to trigger lucidity, but nope.
During the game (I don't exactly remember all the details) an Asian girl said something about her aunt <My aunt's name>. I walk out of the pool, and my PE teacher gets mad at me for tracking water onto the other side of the gym. I apologize, and walk out of the room. Instead of classrooms and stuff, I see a fair! (I think those are my first noticeable dream sign!) I go on a couple of rides, including one of those cannons that you see at a circus- You know, the ones that people shoot themselves out of. I shoot myself out of it, but I'm disappointed to see it doesn't shoot me very high at all. On one of the rides, I'm sitting next to that Asian girl! Me: "Oh hey.. Does your aunt <my aunt's name> have a daughter and son named <my cousin's name> and <other cousin's name>?" Her: "Yep." Me: "What's the name of her husband?" Her: "<My uncle's name>" Me: "Oh my gosh, I think you're my cousin's cousin! " Her: "Cool." Then a couple of family members and I go into an arcade! (I think that's another dream sign c: ) I don't exactly remember what we played, but I remember something weird happening afterward...

I drive a motorcycle across my hometown, and realize I forgot my helmet. Oh well. I'm also carrying a baked potato in my jacket pocket, and it's falling apart.

---

A nest of vampires in an otherwise benign-looking place, like a post office or a government building. S has warned me, but I come back anyway.

Vampires are repelled by objects of faith (Dresden Files), but unlike the stereotype, they don't need to be Christian symbols. The eldest vampire stalks towards me, and I have my pendant in my hand (the question: does the onyx within it represent me or the people I believe in, because I don't necessarily have faith in myself...) and I strike, pressing the pendant into the vampire's skin. It sizzles and burns, the vampire trying to get away, shrieking.

It's cries draw the other vampires, and I draw back to swing a fist, my Celtic ring coming into contact another vampire.

Later, I'll be asked if we can do an empirical test to determine whether the gold of the ring or the silver of the pendant was more effective against vampires.

---

"Who's your commanding officer?" demands a formidable looking black man with a military bearing.

"I don't know yet."

"Good answer," he tells me. He is my commanding officer.

When a small group comes to tell me I'll be joining them, I look back to him.

"Sir?" I ask, and he instructs me to join the group.

We board a plane. There are more than a dozen seats left when I come in, but one of my squadmates is arguing with a blond, thinner man who's already seated.

"These are for the paratroopers," says the seated man. "We don't have any seats for you."

I approach and tell him that we're assigned to this plane, and will be taking some of the seats. He is angry, but we end up seated, anyway.

I'm sitting next to a superior officer who's played by an actor I can't remember the name of. He's a heavier-set black man and he asks roundabout questions about my place in -- and loyalty to -- our shadowy organization. I tell him I will do what needs to be done.

The plane is in the air. I stand up and walk down the aisle. "It's time," I say to one of my squadmates as I walk past. She's a darker-skinned woman with long, curly hair.

We're in the air now. The six members of the squad are gliding towards our destination using wingsuits, flying through the chilled air.

"We can make it the whole way," the woman I was talking to says over the comms.

"Negative," I say. "We're losing altitude. Chutes on my mark; aim to land at the planned point."

I see a red plume of light indicating where we should land.

"And... NOW!"

We deploy our parachutes and land on the ice next to an island. Before I know it, we have skates on and are making our way towards the shore.

A red pickup truck meets us. We put skate guards on our skates and a few of us climb into the cab, the rest getting into the back of the truck. I'm making plans with the driver.

Scare factor: 5/10. Lots of fun and adventure, felt in control of the narrative the entire time, despite not being lucid.

EDIT for new rating system (and formatting colour):

Adventure: 8/10
Control: 8/10
Fear: 2/10

10:40-6:00AM

dreamed i was playing rugby again. dreamed on the field i was going to get into a fight with some kid cause he kept breaking the rules. when i tried to fight him everyone urged me not to. i told him id let him win cause i just wanted the money. he agreed. we fought and punched each other in 3 different bouts. he looked like colin by the end of the fight.

after the fight i obtained a margarita and was drinking it infant of my family. colin rubbed the fact that he won the fight in. after i went to go look for food cause there was some ceremony going on.

i was at one point in a jacoozie with tommie. it was a bigger jacoozie then normal and it had s endless waterfall aspect to it. it was not in the normal place at the cabin also, we were listening to music in the jocose and tammy and were chatting. she also had made some type of desert that had hydrangeas in it. it tasted like cinnamon. i took of the plastic and hesitantly ate more.

there was also some serial killer aspect to the dream. it was like i was in a tv show and some serial killer named gill was returning to his lovers house who he'd killed last year. we got into a huge fight and he was trying to kill me. i had the chance to shoot and kill him but i didn't. i shot some one else but i couldn't shoot him.

i remembered the sound of glass had disturbed him so i followed him breaking glass everywhere i went hoping to upset him enough so he'd stop. then when he arrived at the place where he killed the girl, he merely did a promenod on the floor. i saw my dad getting food.

I was non lucid in a supermarket and the cashier woman mentioned something about an item not being able to go through. Than another lady came and tried to help but than I noticed something strange happening to either the lady or the item. Anyways after that something reminded me of Dawn. Than he came and the place changed into a beach. We started swimming and with a small yellow boat rower. Apparently, our boat was floating under the water. We were laughing and having fun going to the shore of the beach. When we got to the shore though we decided to go back into the water and started swimming. We ended up in a facility though and something popped from the ground. Like the floor had a heart that was racing. I told myself that I needed to remain calm and looked at Dawn who than came to me. He lay on the ground next to me and I looked at his face. It had black text and drawing on it. I wanted to read it but than he picked up his face and disappeared.

Than out of no where a black talking cat with a black top hat appeared and took out a metal like curtain holder. Than held it up at me saying It was going to hurt my heart. I told it no than a cage appeared like a bird cage. The cat tried to get me in than got me stuck on something. It than poked a black metal curtain holder at me and said he was gonna hurt me. But I remained calm and took the holders from him. The cat even appeared in a box and taunted me but I took him out and threw him. Than I was fine and woke up.

First dream

I went out of my home, and entered a car with rest of family. Somehow, it contained ten persons, with everyone having comfortable space. We drove to my school. With my younger sister we entered the toilet. Just as we entered the room, a powerful force closed the doors and attacked us. It tried to push us into a portal of some kind, also scratching and trying to break limbs.

Someone opened the doors to the toilet, and I managed to escape from the ghost. However, my sister was still there. I quickly grabbed the doors, preventing them to close. The ghost was strong, and I almost lost with it, but then two other girls entered the toilet, and told us about the way to banish the ghost.

There were three sinks and two liquid soap dispensers in the toilet. Used in correct order they would weaken the ghost, and then washing your hands in each of sinks would banish the ghost for good. They did that while I was holding the door, and then we went away.

We headed to stairs, and went to lower floor. As we were going to entrance, my older brother appeared in front of us, shouted "Wakka-Takka-Tobbaco!" in high and annoying voice, and with light speed he ran upstairs.

False awakening

I was on a ten day course, far away from my house. I entered the toilet, and turned the lights on. I went closer to toilet seat, and looked to a bathtub. There was a dude taking a bath in there. I said "You really should close the doors. And turn the lights on too." while peeing.

I only train myself to remember dreams since a few days, which I usually never recalled, so I have only the end of the dream with the basis and some little details.

**non-native english**
I am walking in Hogwarts (like in the films, not the irl) with my parents for a purpose that I have no idea of. Mom and dad move pretty fast and they often have to take little pauses to tell me to stop wandering around and looking at everything.
At a moment, we arrive at a bridge with a road down, perpendicular to us. Naturally, I approach the rim and see Harry in person. I quickly shout to him, excited by my unexpected discovery. He turns back to me and looks up to where I am, and like stupid kids we start faking spells at eachothers (like in the first and second Harry Potter videogames, we say the name of the spell each time but never make it to take effect by not targeting eachother, so it's really ridiculous. Also I haven't played these games since I was 10). I spam the Lumos spell for a little while and so Harry does for Rictusempra (spells that only exists in the videogame).
My parents call me to seriously hurry so I quit my wonderful occupation and keep on following them once again.
We enter a small room with a standard staircase on the right and we speak while waiting for something I still don't know. My father is a bit upset. He says I have to play the Harry Potter videogames for my little sister's birthday and that I absolutly have to finish the game. Some irrelevant character comes down the stairs and wait aside us until we finish our discussion. Made my little easy maths, I explain my father
"Okaaayyy what the hell, so you see the story mode ? If I want to complete it a 100 percent today it's totally impossible because it would take me 20 hours to finish a single quarter of the game !" (I don't know why I said that because the game is not very long and I don't usually lie so carefreely). He tells me that I will use the cheat codes then, but I it is out of the question for me because it is for pussies. He insists a bit but finally I have the last word.
He tries : "So in that case we just don't fucking care about finishing the game, we just play for the birthday". My mother, with her typical passive gentle voice goes in the same way "Ooh, com'on **my name**, just for a moment, birthdays are one time a year for someone..". I still don't agree to play the game because it is non-sense to do that kind of things for a birthday - I really don't understand their position, so I grumble and bother everyone, making the other useless guy waiting even more.
I woke up

8.11.15

night shifts

Bed 12 pm - 4:35pm

Got up to check on the chat and the forum and just remembered my dream. I realized that I had daytime memory engaged and it was correct. Unlike sometimes you think in your dream that the dream is correct, but when you wake up you realize it's not so.

So in my dream, I'm in my bed at the house where I grew up at correct age for that time. I'm with my boyfriend. I asked my parents if thats ok, since he had to sleep over for some reason. They are ok with that, coz they have no idea that we did it before. But this time we are not doing it, because my parants have a habit to peak into my room at night to check on me. Later in the future I'm happy that he is my boyfriend, when I realize from daytime memory that he is not. He married someone later on and I feel sorry that I didn't grab him when I had a chance. I also realize that he is not short on money coz his dad's family business in car repairs. < first true memory

Second dream.
I'm with some friends. We decide to watch some movie and I'm trying to think of something nice. In a dream, I'm thinking of this movie and I remember the title. Harvest moon. I find it on the TV and we start watching the synopsis. Some scenes look scary but I tell them it's actually a nice movie with cpt. Janeway from star trek voyager. The title and actress and plot are true, so this is the second correct daytime memory.

Whoa, wait a minute, maybe I'm still dreaming.
