non-lucid

Someone had assigned me to re-write the star wars prequels. I don't remember much of the dream but all of the star wars characters from both the prequels and the original series were sitting in an auditorium. For some reason Aang from last airbender was in there too.

I remember changing the story up. In version I wrote, Anikin was like this Anti-Hero character who never really went to either the light or dark side of the force. He never had a relationship with Padme, either. Obi Wan was never really friends with him either.


I was a korean schoolboy who was always late for school. I remember our house had an escalator in it that could be set to either up or down.

My mom, who was also korean in the dream was talking about somebody who rushes will forget to set the escalator from down to up when they rush back upstairs because they forgot something, and actually ended up wasting more time not switching the escalator to up and down modes.

I then remember she gave me my lunch. My lunch turned out to be the international space station? (ultimate WTF) I looked in my lunchbox and there was a mini space station in it. It turned out it was my birthday lunch and it was made out of cake. There was also a little space shuttle cookie.

I ran out the door but apparently we lived in a city in Korea and I was on the top of a very tall apartment tower. I fell like a cartoon character in third person and hit the street and made a deep hole shaped like myself.

Dream #2

Start

I had a dream that I was riding down my bike down 5th avenue and I think it was some kind of fair, I was riding my bike with my dad, and I remember there were these two girls that were following us. They may or may not have been intentionally following us. Eventually me and my dad stopped at this store to get something, and they stopped as well and asked us for directions and help. I remember we didn't want to help them because they were from a place that we didn't like (lol) and we got sort of mad at them. I vaguely remember another part of this dream but not enough to describe it. There was another part though. I remember more of it now! The two girls were in front of us, and one of them thought that I was staring at her from behind even though I wasn't. (Like staring at her inappropriately/checking her out)Then me and my dad overtook them and went in front of them, and I could still hear them talking about how they thought I was a creep or something. So I stopped riding for a second and got off my bike so that I blocked their paths and they had to stop. I turned around, and said "Look, I'm sorry you thought I did that, I didn't just so you know, I apologize for it." Then for some reason as soon as I started talking to them about it, the girl who thought I did it immediately looked extremely sorry and almost started to cry. She apologized then as well. Then we continued riding, my dad throughout all of this was pretty oblivious. Eventually I felt like the girls and I were semi/tentative friends. They were teenagers and about my age a little older. We stopped at a store to buy something or rest, and they stopped to to ask us for directions. We asked them where they were from and I believe that we didn't like the answer they got from us, I think it was something with an H like "the Hamptons" so we got sort of mad at them. Here I believe my dream transitioned into something else, a different dream, but I forget the plot of that one. It involves a temple of some sort.

End

My experience with this one was a little weird. When I woke up, I stayed in bed trying to remember the dreams I had. After trying for around 3 minutes, I got up and went over to my computer to try to document this. Only after being on my computer for a couple minutes it suddenly came to me. This was pretty odd.

Possible Dream Signs:

• Like my previous dream, I was with a FAMILY member
• Traveling, last dream I was in a car, this time I was on a bike
• Both dreams seemed to take place in NYC

That's all I can think of for now.

(Excuse the messy Journal writing.It was done fast)
I was on my bed creating a music on a music box type of item. There were a few girls around in pajamas congratulating me for making such beautiful music. Even my mom. But than i started thinking about how i want to dream of dawn. I closed my eyes and lay down than appeared outside a house. Where a girl with red/orange spiky hair was in. I wanted to touch her hair and was pulled in by curiosity. I had come in with googles in my hand an was told by the girl that i could play with her. Oddly i felt today was the day of a tragedy event. We were playing around in the colorful park like field that was in the house when suddenly i had the urge that i should go cause i wanted to find Dawn. There were two boys there present and a mom who was telling the girl that it was time to leave. I lost lucidity and felt like the boys took my camera. I ran after them and they mentioned how they didn't have it. I went back and found it somewhere. After that i think i appeared on a bed than thought of Dawn.

After thinking of Dawn i appeared in what looked like the same place i was in before. Dawn came too but didn't seem interested. For some odd reason the place changed into a big bathroom and i asked him to brush his teeth with me. He said no because i was going to try and get him in the shower with me. Thats when things started to turn into a clothing store. I wanted to pick out interesting, cool clothing for Dawn but as i was choosing he walked away to kiss a girl. I told a girl dc near me how Dawn was being super annoying ignoring me when i was going to choose clothes for him. I followed him and some others and the place became a huge mall with orange/brown covered walls. We were trying to find our way around together but than Dawn didn't want to go with me the way i was going. He wanted to go the other way with the girl. I decided to leave them be and ranted to a somewhat fat guy dc that was with me.

He mentioned how dawn was just being a (insert word i forgot here). Than we ran around some stairs with a kung fu old guy behind us trying to teach us something. The big guy got too excited though and ran too fast around. He made the stairs jump and broke a step. We ran to tell security about the broken stairs but a girl dc came back saying that they were just lining people up and not listening.I went up to the person she talked to than the person who ran the place and he mentioned how i explained it a lot better cause he understood now. After that we walked away and i ended up walking behind my family,some people i dont know and it was in a city place. My mom mentioned about how one of the people there was carrying a money bag and i felt my head because the back part was hurting a bit. When i woke myself up my neck was hurting because of the bun on my head or because it was turned in a uncomfortable position. I'm fine now though.^^

Morning of July 22, 2015. Wednesday.



This title is not that relevant - as the cat itself does not glow, but for some reason it just came into my head as the title (and who am I to “argue” with self-titling excursions into the surreal).

Yet again my dream alters the features and layouts of real locations. This time our bed that is in real life in what would otherwise be the dining room (head to the west) is now in the front computer room, which is adjacent to our older children’s rooms; the head to the east (though feasible, not that likely to be as such - especially as our oldest son’s room has a window in his wall into the room). At the same time, the computer desk is near the window (where the bed was).

I “realize” that I am at 611 North Monroe Street (in America), which I rarely dream about anymore, especially considering I have not lived there since early 1968 (before moving to Cubitis off Highway Seventeen). My cat Tiger (long gone in reality), an orange tabby, is walking about. I “realize” that I am about seven years old but am concerned that Tiger has stepped in paint and is tracking it around the room. He is hesitant and shaking each leg in rotation, just as in reality when a cat steps in questionable liquid. However, the footprints are like a light and almost like a “hole” as well, somehow.

I “remember” after the tracks are giving off an annoying amount of light, that I can “turn off the footprints” (that is, anything glowing in the room) with a special light switch. I move my hand around to feel for it but cannot find it. I vaguely also recall (real memory) that there is a stack of about six or seven comic books on the left side of the toilet tank in the bathroom and am wondering if they will be knocked into the toilet as a result of the cat’s actions. I am trying to remember if this already happened at a previous time and if as such they had been there for several days thus far (which makes no sense of course).

The cat walks up the wall, leaving an even pattern of footprints (which start to look more like upright five-pointed stars than cat paw prints), almost to the ceiling. “Come down from there,” I command. The animal comes down and starts purring very loudly on my chest but seems eventually to be my own breathing (and likely Zsuzsanna’s as well).

My thinking falls into the slightly abstract. I realize that a “star pentagon” is not a pentagon at all but a decagon (as it has ten sides and angles, not five sides and angles). I feel a strange uneasiness over humanity being “wrong” yet again, then realize everything in the world is misnamed and misunderstood anyway, so it does not matter that much.

I approach three (unknown) girls in somewhat plain dresses (sitting on the floor in the form of a triangle for the most part) who seem to be speaking Portuguese and involved in an occult ritual. There is unexplainable luminosity in the setting. Looking more closely, I see they are actually playing Jacks. However, looking again, I see the game box looks suspiciously like some sort of ritualistic system with the box shaped like a hexagon. I then confirm this by the fact that, even though they are playing Jacks, it is on a hexagram painted carefully on the floor. Then I get annoyed once again as I realize that the “hexagram” is actually a type of dodecagon, as it has twelve angles and twelve sides, not six angles and six sides.



“No one knows what anything is,” I say calmly. One of the girls (to the left and closest to where I am standing) turns and looks at me curiously though smiles in understanding and seeming familiarity (with a vague thought she is my wife when much younger). She says, “A minha estrela guia” (“my guiding star”) and I am not sure if she means me or the game piece (Jack) she is holding. Then I realize she may not have said “A minha estrela guia” but “I’m in Australia”, which sounds the same (and it slowly dawns on me that this is yet another “missed clue” or “confirmation”, of millions, about finding Yin incarnate, yet I recall I already have).

I feel slightly nervous and enter a more luminous state of “quivering” (where the foreground and background quickly shift inversely to each other) and see a large electric fan (all white, including the blades) where the rotary keeps changing in diameter, smaller and larger, but somewhat randomly. The fan blades sometimes curve out as if in attempt to touch or at least reach me (with a perceived sense of care and compassion, not as a threat). The imagery shifts in unusual ways. Every now and then, a small narrow crocodile head emerges (again, with no sense of threat, and the mouth remains closed) horizontally and evenly from the center and is seemingly pulled back in. Other things the spinning fan blades become is a cycad palm, a sunflower, and some sort of floral kaleidoscopic design. I watch it for quite some time (with a vaguely perceived buzzing) and eventually shift into a dream where Steve J (an old classmate) and I are walking just below rafters on roof support beams and ceiling joists in a large building. The rafter patterns become more and more complex. This last part, Zsuzsanna says she also dreamt of - though she was the one walking mainly on the hanging beams (without any actual reason or prior cause to dream as such, though this shared dreaming happens fairly often). (However, I did have a lot of similar dreams when about thirteen.)

Ol Mate Kyle
Im at some kind of function and I see Kyle Potter and others. We're all having a laugh. I ask him what he's dad is doing. He tells me that he's in Thailand 1 week on 1 week off with his girlfriend to see her family. I tell him that my dad needs to do something similar, and that he's a hermit. I add that I'm kinda similar so I can't really talk. Kyle says that his dad made some kinda layered pancake for this function years ago and failed. But he was awarded for his effort. I tell him that I have an idea, and should make some vegemite toast and cut them into small triangles. I'm joking. A waiter brings food over to us, which ends up being cake. I grab a small piece and begin to eat it. I jump the gun a little, as they have plates that they hand u moments after u pick your cake. There's moose and other similar things on the plate. The cake was chocolate mud cake, with chocolate icing. Kyle seems very welcoming and likes me.

Free Hugs
I'm in a house, in the kitchen. I see Ash Kendon. I'm being jokingly mean to her in a flirtatious way. I think she starts getting offended. I could tell she wanted some attention off of me. I think of writing a sign that says free hugs, or get something that says that on my phone and hold it up In Front of her.

It was in a fort, and there were some kind of elections. There were lots of politicians, talking about something that I can't quite recall. We were sitting high above the ground. I had enough of their talking, so I made a super high jump to a roof in a nearby city, a roof in a chinese alley. Suddenly I heard a voice telling me about a tiger guardian.

More weirdness. I was in France, on vacation. I walked into some kind of pub for twins. There was this girl there, who I recognized. I got into a fight (verbal, luckily) with a dude because of some toxic remark he made. I was about to run out, when the girl ran after me and offered me a drink (she spoke French, I replied in English) on the house. I accepted and went back inside. I told the girl I recognized her. She said she had a twin working at a fast-food place in Wallonia (southern bit of Belgium, where they speak French). I indeed remembered seeing her there.

I really wanted to get into her pants.

In this dream, I had a kid. He was barely one year old, as he couldn't really walk. I think we were in a supermarket. He was playing around, and making a real mess. At one point I jokingly referred to him as the "destroyer of worlds".

I was in some kind of team of special forces. We knew of a hostile alien presence in the city. We used a very advanced type scanner (sattelite-based perhaps) to scan the city for alien life forms. The entire underground (sewers, subway tracks) lit up pink. They had to be completely infested and overrun. I don't think this mission was "official" or government sanctioned. We were on our own. We were a team of four. One was a woman. We entered a small building were we had stashed all our gear. We wore massive suits of advanced armor, making us look like futuristic medieval knights. Our weaponry was equally grotesque. Miniguns, a massive rocket launcher, stuff like that. Sadly, the others had already grabbed the cool stuff, so I was stuck with an oversized assault rifle, and a smaller carbine as back-up weapon. We all felt this could be a one-way trip. The idea was simple, but by no means easy - we would ride a small rail vehicle and plant explosives throught the entire underground. Then, we'd blow the whole place to Hell.

We went in, but pretty soon things got messy. I have no recollection of what the aliens looked like, but soon enough we ended up in combat. Also, it turned out the government didn't like our mission, and had dispatched CIA operatives to stop us. Among them was Noah Bennet. I wasn't sure they were directly attacking us, or if the aliens were between us and them, but we were taking casualties. I remember a fragment of a vehicle, possibly the train cart, hanging off a chasm - the female member of the team barely hanging on. I grabbed her arm, but she lost her grip and fell to her doom. At the end, we were trying to escape via a freight elevator. We just ran for it, explosions and gunfire (the CIA team?) right behind us. I got in first, but was knocked to the floor. I waited for my surviving buddies, but then there was another explosion. Blood, gibs, and a stray eyeball were all that was left of them. Shaken and frustated, I activated the elevator. I never knew if the mission had succeeded or not.

I was driving my car across a medium-sized suspension bridge. There was a lot of traffic. At one point, a few cars right in front of me collided. There was a big pile-up and no way to continue or drive around it. I got out, and suddenly realized one of the cars was leaking gas and would explode soon - killing a lot of people. I had to get off the bridge ASAP. Suddenly the scene looked a lot worse - cars upside down, a massive hole in the bridge, and cars floating in the water beneath. I wanted to jump, but realized the odds of hitting a floating car were too high. I proceeded to climb the wreckage of the bridge, balancing on metal beams, many meters above the river. I noticed I wasn't really scared. I reached the other side (the bridge was ripped in half now), but realized I couldn't really leave all those people behind. I extended my arm to grab the people still trapped on the other side. One of them was Matt Parkman, and I remember watching a 2-hour feature film dedicated to this character earlier. Random Heroes references

In the dream there was a football match going on (soccer), while I was watching some of my colleagues in an apartment below me. The apartment was weird, like it was missing its outer wall - I could look straight in. It belonged to Raoul, one of my colleagues. At some point, he commented that someone from the other team (I think) was stupid. "Patje", another of my colleagues, got extremely mad and started slapping him around. It looked harmless and playful at first. They disappeared from view, and it sounded like he was really beating him up now. When he was done, Patje started wrecking Raoul's home. I mean, literally everything. Vases, furniture, you name it, he destroyed it. I felt horrible for Raoul, and wanted to call the cops. Another colleague standing next to me, Dominic, gave me a weird look - clearly he disagreed with the idea of calling the cops on a friend. I did it anyway, but the moment I pressed "call", I mysteriously teleported off somewhere else, several blocks away. I then "became the camera", and moved between buildings towards the place I was at earlier. Turns out that whatever happened there had long ended. Or never happened. Don't know.

I was with a group of people walking on the sidewalk. Suddenly a kid, probably around 12, runs past us and steals something. I chased after him for a while, but he was fast and running in circles. A woman was helping me chase him down, so I instructed her to go the other way and block his escape. It kind of worked. I caught him, and... cut him into pieces. Literally. I returned what he had stolen (a pizza), and left him without legs, lying in the street (next to a small building). Slices of the child were in the pizza box. The others noticed this, and laughed. "Daaaaamn!"

I have some lingering fragments of being able to fly, and Claire being hurt - so I had to carry her.

Side note: this was my first night on huperzine.

The black Void

I appeared on my bed listening to voices. I was a bit out of it at first because i went from awake to dream mode and it kind of blurred my train of thought a bit.After laying down on the bed for a bit and listening to voices the back part of the bed/wall began to break apart and i began to fall backwards into a dark black void.I let myself fall down and could see black and dark gray clouds in my void. There were also black rocks appearing in it. After falling fast for a while i ended up somewhere where i was hanging around with Eye. But i forgot what happened at that time.After whatever happened happened I woke up.
I decided to go into the dream the same way I did before though.

The black void 2

I slowly started hearing voices around me again than felt i couldn't move.I decided to wait it out and eventually the back broke apart again. I ended up falling fast down the dark void but this time was different. As I was falling i could hear footsteps that sounded like they were walking quickly across a carpet. I decided to imagine the footsteps far away from me as i was falling. It faded but than came back and i saw a dark sweater hooded figure looking at me from behind a black rock in the void. It went somewhere else and than i heard the footsteps again though. So I imagined pushing the thing farther, along with the footsteps sound. I felt it was gone than fell down relaxed until i arrived at a outside of a large school.

I decided to imagine kingdom of hearts into the dream and Sora appeared along with the opening song of the game. I fought sora while flying for fun while trying to sing along to the song. But than it quickly changed into Chinese. As I was battling sora though i spotted riku in the distance. Wanted to go to him but than i saw that there were bodies of people laying on the ground. I felt like it would be awkward to go on the ground with the bodies laying around the courts. Yeah, I saw the bodies on a basketball court and tennis court. I flew away since i won against sora already and ended up in a bedroom. There was a dream character present and he was holding a needle.

"There is no needle" I thought and manged to get it away from him. But than he brought it back. It was like i was battling with my mind to try and imagine it not there. But i couldn't help but pay mind to it. Thats when i tried to run and jump away while calling Dawn. But i bumped into something and ended up giving up. "Instead of a random DC, I'll just imagine Dawn's giving me the shot". I thought to myself. Than all too quickly i was stabed in the back with the needle and felt the thing injected into me. Than a black heart rate meter like thing appeared in front of me and i saw the numbers 558. It was going up when i felt the needle but went down slowly when i was relaxed. After that I woke up.

New Dream Guide...Sort of

Something non lucid occurred where i was inside a apartment talking to people.I became lucid though as i was holding a laptop and something made me think of Jade/Maeni. I decided that in this dream i would go onto my dream email or a dream guide messenger site and see if it could find me a better dream guide. I typed on the bright white screen that looked like a chat/forum place. It was designed in a basic organized way. Nothing too flashy. Anyways I typed with my imagination "Looking for new dream guide. Post if interested! : )"
Than someone got online with a yellow colored avatar. I asked if they were interested and they said they would think about it. So I decided to leave that alone for now and wait.
After that a dream character came and told me to follow him. We ended up inside a school where i got distracted.
I was non lucid inside a school that was for middle school kids i think. After walking around and doing whatever i did, somehow i got in trouble and I was sent to the principal's office in anime form with anime characters. The principal was secretly a monster that wanted to feed on the students that disobeyed or were new. Than tried to eat me. I told the character with me that we had to work together. The DC agreed and we ended up escaping but than i noticed that "Good Times" characters were in the school. It was the sister and older brother and they were arguing because the brother didn't want the sister to date someone. I decided that i wanted to leave the school and go somewhere else at that time than followed a group of students leaving.

However after walking for a bit i ended up back inside the school. I decided to go another way than and took a door that led to the outside school yard. I was questioning it though because it led me to go up a stairs.When i finished stepping up I saw two boys trying to swim away from where they were. There was water halfway up to their body and it was raining. I liked the rain but didn't feel like swimming so i went another way and ended up on the sidewalk with the two boys.But one of them jumped me from behind and i fell on a bush. He was pinning me so i called for help and told him to get off. A DC came and took him off me. After that i got up than walked away and ended up in a apartment.There i remembered about the dream guide post thing and imagined a laptop in the room. I picked it up and looked at the screen where i posted the question. I didn't really notice much change though. Only a little and typed "Is no one really interested? Still waiting for a reply." Than i noticed something pop up on the site.

I decided that i would just wait patiently and left the laptop alone. As i was walking A DC appeared. It was a tall white guy with blue eyes and dirty blonde hair color but braided. And he wasn't wearing a shirt.
"Uhhh....Are you my new dream guide?" I asked. " He scratched his head and smiled at me than said "Yeah,Well,Sort of." I noticed how his blue eyes reminded me of Marcus even though Marcus is old and told him how his eyes remind me of Marcus. "Really?" he said as we were walking away to another room." You can't be Marcus though. Whats your name? IF you said sort of does that mean your dawn?" I asked suspicious. He made a look that said "maybe" and than told me to look at his hair and to touch it. He had two little braids sticking up on his head though.

"Do you like it?" he asked me smiling as he had his head down in front of me waiting for me to touch it. I put my hand and felt his braids. The way they went down from the top of his head to the side. His hair length was obviously up to the middle or bottom neck. I told him it looked nice on him and than went up to a mirror to look at myself. I noticed that i could see my back and chest and i had the marking of a giraffe. "I can't believe i got these marks on me" I said than told him how i have them on me. He looked but than i noticed there were two big rats in the apartment."Rats!What do we do?" I asked him unsure. He told me that we need to get away from them. we ran but than i jumped on him so the rats wouldn't bite me. I didn't think he would mind. Anyways he carried me fast out of the apartment than down the stairs with the rats trailing us. I wasn't afraid of the rats but i liked him saving me from them even though they weren't scary.

I kind of hugged him too tight though as he was carrying me and when we stopped on the last floor we saw the rats. I got off him and he ended up fighting them off. Reminded me of the old days but i kind of felt bad because I let him carry me when i could have ran myself. Than I woke up.Forgive me Dawn. TwT If that were you.

I woke up about 5 minutes ago, as soon as I woke up my thoughts were on dreaming. At first I could not remember any dreams immediately and was frustrated by this, but as soon as I relaxed and let my thoughts come to me did my experience below. I was very excited at how this worked out; I had read on this site about people doing exactly that and am glad to see some improvements with my dream recall, because I have hardly been able to remember any of my dreams at all. Below are my dreams, I am not actually sure if they are one dream or two, because there is a transition point where it is unclear to me whether or not it is all part of the same dream.

Dream #1

***START***

I was on my way to some type of Lucid Dream simulator with my mother, this LD simulator was a big warehouse but it also seemed like some type of attraction that people payed to go through(like an amusement park type of thing but there were no other rides, it was just this big warehouse). It was supposed to simulate what it was like to be inside of a LD, obviously. We went into it room by room, sometimes there were other people within the rooms moving along like us. The rooms were usually very dark, and thinking about it now each room wasn't very much like a LD but there were almost strips of lights that almost looked like blacklights. In many of the rooms there was zero or low gravity, and in another room we were in there was a terrarium. After we left this LD simulator/attraction, we (still being with my mother) traveled on a highway/road that looked a lot like the BQE and I believe that we were going to my grandmother's house, or somewhere like that.(This is the point at which I am not sure about if this is a new dream or still one whole dream) My grandmother is dead now, but when we got to this house it was actually a small apartment where there were a lot of old people around talking about my grandmother and my uncle, who is also deceased. I partially recognized some of them as my distant relatives. They were talking about how he liked to sky dive, and that's all I remember because then I must've drifted out of consciousness.

***END***

I can now see how odd it is that I did NOT become lucid for the first dreaming, even though we were going inside a LUCID DREAM SIMULATOR LOL This is ok, I still don't mind as I know I am only a beginner and don't expect to have an LD anytime soon, it is heartening to see progress with my dream recall.
I will make a list of possible dream signs that I noticed, I know this is pretty much my first dream but I am still going to list some aspects to compare them to other dreams later:

• Family
• Deceased Family Members
• Driving

This is all I could come up with for now, I'm sure this list will evolve more in the future.
I'm just happy I had a dream I could remember

Today is Day 7 of my interest with Lucid Dreams, and these were my results from Night 6.
