    Non-Lucid Dreams

    1. Eating Earthworms (NLD)

      by , 02-01-2015 at 09:14 PM
      This was the last dream of the morning, and it seems to demonstrate the process of waking up, as the self-awareness and memories of my dream-self gradually align closer and closer with those of waking life.

      Am I a human or a fox? It is unclear at first. I find an overturned clay pot on the walkway next to a building. It is full of writhing earthworms, and I eat a number of them, enjoying the slick chewy texture. Approvingly I think, "From the foxes' perspective, stocks aren't really working out. What they want is more protein, more easily accessible."

      By "stocks" I mean the stock market, which I think must have crashed, and I have the impression that the world is in some post-apocalyptic state. I am on the grounds of a museum in Northern California, one with a park-like campus. I move across the lawn and encounter an enormous earthworm sliding out from under a bush. It is already several feet long, and I guess that this is only a quarter of its length. In diameter it is as thick as my arm. At this point my body is clearly human, and my thoughts are getting closer to those of my waking mind.

      It surprises me to see a worm so large. I feel like I've seen ones this big in other countries, but never here. Still, I remember seeing those big banana slugs in the Bay Area, so maybe giant earthworms are part of the same ecosystem. Probably I never saw one before because they're usually underground. Why is this one on the surface?

      I tear off a few inches of meat from the front end of the worm and nibble on it. It is much coarser in texture than the regular-sized worms I was just enjoying, and I find it unpalatable. I wonder if cooking would improve it or make it even worse, softer and mealier. I throw the uneaten portion to the ground, regretting that I took more than I'm able to consume. I should have started with a smaller sample. Poor worm. I look at it, and it is still crawling along as though nothing happened. I reassure myself that it will probably be fine; the missing section might even grow back.

      I start to wonder if it is safe to eat raw worm. I always thought it was, and the couple I swallowed whole in the past had no ill-effects, but this one was enormous. It was sobering to learn that raw snails can harbor fatal parasites. Given that worms just eat rot and fungi, might they contain bad bacteria? After all, now that I've seen where they live... I think about my worm compost bins. I probably should look into this before eating any more.
    2. Sueño loco de la noche (spanish readers only)

      by , 02-01-2015 at 07:35 PM
      Copy paste from my personal DJ, sorry it's in spanish...


      En una me encontré sentado en una silla en casa de mi abuela y mi abuela me empieza a contar el odio que le tiene a las drogas porque supuestamente cogio una mala experiencia con algo que se fumo en Estados Unidos.
      Yo me puse a pensar un rato en eso como que en drogas y malas experiencias.
      Entonces me da por decirle que no se preocupe porque hay gente que queda bien jodia en estados catatónicos por psicodélicos peores como Salvia, use las palabras "se quedan paraplejicos por par de minutos". También se me ocurrió enseñarle uno de esos videos de malas experiencias con salvia divinorum, saque el iPhone pero no tengo memoria de enseñarle el video.

      Lo que si vi es que recibí un mensaje de una vieja amiga diciendome algo de mental illness, que supuestamente ella tiene mental illness o algo así, yo me preguntaba yo mismo pq me abra mandado eso si no la veo hace años.

      Después me encontré afuera de casa de mi abuela con unos tipos que ni conozco en vida real, unos dream characters random. Estabamos hablando de fitness y en una el me dijo "pa que no hagas piernas no se ven tan mal", le digo gracias o algo y el viene y hace un one-legged squat de nada, yo quería hacer algo mejor y vengo y hago un one-leggend squat trapandome al techo de la casa (encima del portón de la marquesina) una cosa así bien random. Anyway seguiamos hablando de fitness mientras tomabamos agua en una fuente random. Después yo le quise contar de como yo antes en grado 12 le metía al gym y era uno de los más anchos de mi clase y que se yo... Mientras estabamos hablamdo entramos a un apartamanto que se parecía al mío. Yo le dije que después decidi quitarme pq prefería estar flaco. El me dijo, "diablo mano pero no te hubieses quitao". Yo vengo y le digo que yo prefiero ejercicio body weight mil veces y me quito la camisa por alguna razón, me miro en el espejo y le digo que yo estoy orgullos de mi cuerpo sin tener que ir al gym.

      Entonces después llegue con la camisa en la mano a una sala en la que, de la nada, me encontré hablando con Seba (un pana mío de highschool) en su "apartamento", (o lo que se iba convertir en su apartamento en un par de segundos). Todavía estaba hablando de gym pero con Seba... Nunca pare la conversación con aquel otro tipo así que ahora estaba hablando de exactamente esa misma mierda con otro dream character. Creo que en mi mente la excusa que puse fue que Seba era el room mate (o algo por el estilo) de aquel otro tipo. Le estaba preguntando, "y tu que estas haciendo de ejercicio?" a la misma vez me doy cuenta que está preparándose un Protein Shake tirado en el piso de la cocina (la verdadera cocina, dónde yo estaba sólo había un fregadero random), así que me si cuenta que sí estaba haciendo ejercicio. Ahora tenia curiosidad con que carajo estaba haciendo ejercicio Seba, pero nunca me contestó.

      Pero anyway aquí fue que me di cuenta que su apartment estaba raro con cojones pq tenía un counter con fregadero y cosas de cocina en el mismo medio del living room. En una me asomé al fregadero y me di cuenta que había una botellita de jugo de china ahí metía y también me di cuenta que la botellita cojio agua, me entró un "false memory" de momento - me recordé de que ese jugo me lo había dado Seba para tomármelo así que rápido le dije, "diablo mano el jugo que me dieron creo que lo metí al fregadero y cojio agua". Entonces Seba viene y desde la cocina (la verdadera cocina) me empieza a decir casi en pánico, "Enserio?! Mano tu no quieres que este se entere de eso!" (Refiriendose a su room mate) y yo vengo y por impulso me da por tomarmelo anyway pero me doy cuenta se que sabía terrible y por poco vomito y to! Un sabor horrible! Se había mezclado con otras cosas, como cantos de comida además de con agua. Después mi segundo plan fue votar todo el jugo por el fregadero pa que el tipo no se de cuenta, así que lo hice. Seba me estaba apurando, parecía que el roommate venia por ahí, yo me paniquie y emepeze a bregar con el agua, le heche a la botellita y le heche agua al fregadero a lo loco para que no se viera el color del jugo por ninguna parte. Pero justo cuando termine de hacer todo este revulú para deshacerme del jugo me doy cuenta que la pluma no cerraba. Seba viene a ayudarme y de la nada, además de que no cerraba, se le cae una pieza a la pluma y empieza a votar agua como loco, un chorro de agua que llega hasta la puerta al otro lado del apartamento.

      Entonces lo único que hago en este punto era observando a Seba mientras el trataba de arreglar lo que hice yo. Veo que el lo termina de hacer y yo, sintiéndome avergonzado por lo que hice, le pregunté: "porfavor dime que esa no es la primera vez que a pasado eso", el no me escuchó pero se pone a a hablarle a John y le dice algo como, "mano paso otravez"... Yo me puse bien feliz (reliefed) y me puse a decir: "Eso es!! Así que no es la primera vez que pasa? No es mi culpa, eso está jodio?". Ellos me contestan que sí y todos nos empezamos a reír un rato, cuando digo: "mano en verdad que no me esperaba eso hoy... Might as well do a Reality Check now..."

      Mire un reloj digital que estaba cerca de mi en una mesa, mire otra vez, la hora cambio y en verdad que no me lo esperaba así que mire una tercera vez y ahí mismo Fully Lucid y bien eufórico!!

      Empezé a caminar hacia una ventana que tenía vista a la playa y la traspase volando, volé primero cerca de la playa como por un camino tablado pero después me aleje y empezar a volar por un landscape bien vació, a lo mejor habián dos o tres DC's por ahí pero no había mucho. Mientras volaba me recordé bien rápido de los tasks of the month, estaba pensando en cual hacer primero cuando aparecí de la nada en casa de mami. Entonces pensé en hacer el de la carta de san Valentín! Entre a la cocina y vi unas cartas en el counter, coji una de ellas y quería que fuera una carta de San Valentín pero era solamente algo random.

      **Sali a la marquesina y después para afuera traspasando el portón de la marquesina. Me acerque al buzón y me puse a ver que había, habían par de cartas pero después me di cuenta que había un paquete bien grande adornado de San Valentín! No me lo esperaba para nada pero eso era! Entonces lo cojo y lo abro y veo que con dos palos de hockey envueltas en algo y con un mensaje de San Valentín... Eso es lo más random que yo he visto en mi vida, yo ni siquiera he jugado hockey en toda mi vida! Estaba enviado anónimo, no decia de quien era por ninguna parte... Me doy cuenta que los palos de hockey son de una marca llamada "Mahumabara" y tienen la foto de un león bien feroz. También me doy cuenta que hay una carta bien grande de san Valentín con un mensaje en Inglés: "I wish you a very happy Valentine's Day to you and your companion Daniel..." y seguía la carta, era un mensaje bien largo que no lei porque sabia que se me iba a olvidar. Eso es lo más fucking random del mundo! Yo no conozco a nadie que se llame Daniel. Es como si la carta me hubiese llegado a mi por error o como una broma...
      Haha pero me dio risa con cojones, en verdad no me lo esperaba! **


      Después vine y le di a el palo de hockey contra el piso y se le rompio un canto, me volvi Semi-lucid bien mamao pq me dio pena que rompi el palo de hockey que me "regalaron"... Semi lucid busque mas cartas en el buzón, una de ellas era una carta chiquitita que decía "no" en una curita (band aid) ,me dio un montón de risa pq supiestamente era una carta que me llego por error de un padre contestandole a un hijo que si lo aceptaba... y era un no... Haha
    3. A couple of near-misses and frags

      by , 02-01-2015 at 03:48 PM (Lucid Time!)
      -I was plucking apart a spiderweb piece by piece for some reason.


      -Somebody was reviewing a movie called 'nightmare hunters' saying that overall it was crappy but they liked that the villains got a lot of character development.


      -Something to to with an evil wizard that put demon-knives into my cats mouth that made it misbehave until we could pull the knife out of its mouth.



      -Manei had been eaten by carnivorous deer and I had to reset the dream. I explained to her why after re-setting the dream.


      Something to do with a criminal organization where rank was based upon your gun. The more powerful or unique of a gun you had, the higher you ranked in the organization. After freeing some of the organizations members by accident and being returned to the headquarters, I was awarded this red handgun that signified a considerably high rank.

      I was also a female in this dream for some reason.

      The criminals showed me a video presentation of the crime bosses gun. It was a white handgun that didn't look too different from the red one that I had. They talked about how the gun takes a very specific type of lead-osmium bullet and fires them with precision that they can be fired at a target 100 yards away and all pass through the same hole. The bullets have some kind of homing program on them.


      Somebody was trying to offer an explanation for why my dream self has dyed hair in the front. It was because while staying at my grandparents house I had fallen asleep in a room where they had recently painted the ceiling and drips of paint fell into my hair.

      Somebody woke me up screaming because I was getting paint in my hair. I ran to look in the mirror and
      noticed that it looked like my dream self. I stopped caring and the dream carried on from there.

      * Bonus Task of February: Microwave.

      Finally after a few weak nights, a good one. I still forgot to write one dream down, and can't recall it.

      Somehow I was in a big house with my wife, I believe that the house was in a small village and there was a barn outside. As I was walking around the house, there was a wall that was literally breathing. It would move like breath and I was a little afraid. There was a tank of gas behind this room and I fear that the whole room was full of gas and about to explode, which it was why the wall was moving. As I walked closer to the wall, I could feel waves of energy, like a massive amount of pressure and suddenly, I heard an explosion. I was in the middle of nowhere, thinking I died when I suddenly turned lucid because I realized the whole non-sense of the situation. The dream quality was decent but I still decided to take a flight in order to make it more stable, however, I decided to fly to space, as it is something that I truly enjoy and I have not been able to make it decently lately. Flying came very easy to me, it was very cloudy outside but soon I could see the blue sky as I flew above the clouds and a few moments after, I started to seeing the stars and some strange shapes around that were moving.

      After flying for a while, I started to think about the ToTM, but I was having a hard time remenbering it. I felt it had something to do with finding a planet or something, but I could not remember well. As I kept flying for a little bit in space (even though there were clouds around like if it was earth, but it was space as it was black with stars) I remember one personal dare that I forgot to do which was to kick Dark Vader's butt. I imagine he would be around me somewhere, but I really did not see him and neither saw a spaceship. While I was floating, I imagine the Death Star, I wanted to try to summon it moving my hands a few times without much success. I then imagined that it was right behind me when I turned back. As I turned back, there it was... even though it was not like the "real thing"







      Around the Death Star there was like a massive purple-black dark mist. It was foggy and I could feel the dream quality lowering. I rubbed my hands to keep anchored to the dream, as I had literally nothing to hold (which is what I prefer) I did not feel comfortable flying through that mist, as it happened many times that I woke myself up after going through some thick fog or dark stuff. I intended to teleport, something normally is easy for me, but I wanted to teleport inside the Death Star and find Darth Vader. I placed my hands in front of my forehead and "made strength" (I do not know how to explain this, something similar like when in Dragon Ball Z they pump up, but without a scream.) Suddenly, I saw a lot of lights, like starship alike and I saw Darth Vader right in front of me. He was holding a gun (yep... I know... weird...) and it was kind of a normal gun. I tried to transform into Luke without any success. I tried to summon him, but I realized I had to kill Darth Vader myself.

      I tried to throw an energy blast at him, and once again, as usual it failed. I really tried hard, instead of just throwing the blast, I imagined the energy coming out from inside my hand. I felt like my hand burning, but also like being cut at the same time, it was not very pleasant but a thin orange alike beam came out from within my hand hitting Darth Vader. There was an explosion and I heard like a scream (I assume Darth Vader's) and then, I saw a lot of smoke and there were like small black pieces of plastic, they looked like plastic pieces from Dark Vader's helped. I felt it was a pretty lame way to kill him, I wanted to do something epic but oh well, it is a dream and sometimes can't help it.

      I decided it was a good time to go bak to Earth. My dream quality was good and I felt I could do a lot more stuff. I flew away from the Death Star that now it had a sky similar to Earth and I really do not know exactly how (dream randomness I guess) I was flying already above Chicago downtown, or at least, it looked similar:







      I recalled I had another personal dare to make a thunderstorm and create a blackout. I imagined electricity coming out from my hands and I felt little sparks around my hands, then my entire body and then there was some random lightningbolts falling all over downtown. It was a similar thing like when in the game Hyrule Warriors Ganon is summoned. There was some fire and I saw a few buildings that were out of light, creating a blackout. However, it was more of a destruction than a blackout, but I felt satisfied.

      I kept flying for a while, a few moments I felt I was going to wake up, but rubbing my hands prevented my awakening.
      I believe I might have lost lucidity for a while here, because I was in some sort of store, I believe it was a blend of a grocery store and a Bed, Bath and Beyond. I was talking with a few employees, maybe doing a customer service test service or something. Until I turned lucid again because I realize that I no longer do any mystery shopping. I saw that I could score some points using Telekinesis. I rose my hands and I imagined a few beach tables there were in the store raising and moving around. At first I could only get them to shake, but after a while, they levitaded and I believe there was other items too, even though it was not of a a high quality now. The employee asked me what was I doing and I told her to just shut up. She said she was going to call the manager and get me fired (okay... whatever...)

      I left the store and I was in a familiar shopping mall. I realized that I have been dreaming for a long time and still did not do the ToTM and I was going to loose my wings. I could not remember the tasks, but only the Microwave task. I went into a restaurant looking for a microwave. It was a Japanese restaurant I believe. It had some decent decor and a fish tank. I recalled I had to eat a gold fish whole, and well, some of the fishes looked similar to a gold fish, just bigger. I grabbed one and surprisingly, it did not try to escape and I ate it. It tasted like an oyster, including having the same texture. It was gross so I just swallowed it without chewing it. I felt grossed out for a while. I saw one of those waiters computers and touched it. I could see some stuff from my own personal computer and then suddenly it turned into a slot machine.

      I went to the kitchen and even though there were employees, they ignored me. I saw a huge door where the walk-in fridge is supposed to be, but I pretended it was a microwave. Upon opening the door, I only found frozen food, but there was like a long aisle inside the very own refrigerator and it lead to what I believe was an employee lounge. I saw there was a microwave and some toys laying around.







      I tried to get in, despite being the size of a normal microwave. I did put my head inside of it and I imagined I would push myself in it. I felt suddenly like if my legs were hanging and getting smaller, until I was able to push myself entirely inside the microwave. It felt a lot bigger once I was inside, so I probably have shrunk. I believe the microwave started by itself, because I heard the noise of the microwave and I felt it was getting very warm. I also felt a little dizzy for some reason and the whole dream was fuzzy, but nothing really happened other than that. However, for some reason I could not get out from the microwave, and I wanted to do more things.

      I wanted to go back in time, and I did the same thing I do in non lucid dreams when I something bad happens, which is closing my eyes, jumping very hard and thinking I went back in time. I was again at the shopping mall.

      I wanted to look for Sensei to ask him for a duel and I pretended I would find him in the shopping mall. He
      (thank you subconscious) told me, "Thanks, I just got 7 points because I am meeting a team mate." I told him that I already had a dream with him and I explained him briefly the other dream were we fought pirates. I also told him we needed to do a duel and we started looking for a room in the shopping mall to do a shadow game. There was a store called Game Empire (that I know from real life) and I asked them if they had a room for a shadow duel. From here, I recall litttle, but I believe I lost lucidity ad shortly after I woke up.
    5. The city, flying rabbit and doctor Predator

      by , 02-01-2015 at 09:44 AM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      Driving from the city

      It was in the bright, warm evening. I was walking in the city. I was going to the bus stop, but my pal was driving a car towards our home town. I sat with him and we drove.

      Flying rabbit

      When walking outside my home I have saw my cat going to neighbor. When I looked over the fence its fur color changed from orange to white, and when I wanted to catch it, the cat turned itself into small rabbit. It was escaping from me, but I have managed to catch it. When I was going to home with it, it wasn't struggling any more. I went to the living room and showed the rabbit to my siblings. It was so small it fitted on my hand. It was white, furry rabbit with red bulging eyes, bat-like wings and two antennae. I gave it to my brother, but it escaped. I was searching for it, but it was hard to find a flying rabbit in size of a fly! When I've finally found it, the dream ended.

      Doctor Predator

      I was lying in my bed. I went to the living room, and met my eldest sister talking with mother. I listened to their conversation, and tried to joke of my sister Heh, and you went to doctor Predator to... She interrupted me and asked What was the doctors name? I said Doctor Predator.
    6. Lucidity, My Dream Guide Dies, and a FA

      by , 02-01-2015 at 12:10 AM (My Dream Goals)
      Notes Lucid Semilucid Non-Lucid

      I do not remember anything prior to becoming lucid. This is organized to be written in a chat, so it is sort of a bulletpoint-type organization.

      I was in a grocery store when I realized I was lucid.
      I made everyone in the store sing for a short time
      I ran into MrEnter and PewDiePie in a way I don't remember
      I ran into 2 ladies (actually a sim from the sims 2 and my 5th grade teacher)
      I decided to run around at hyper-speed with E. and P. for a while before realizing I had to stabilize.
      I realized that I was on some sort of gravel parking lot.
      I stabilized by touching the ground, which felt just as it was supposed to: rocky and really shifty.
      I went on to wreck havoc for a while, getting some sort of riot to chase us.
      I found out that my 5th grade teacher was my dream guide.
      I threw her into the rioters, who proceeded to kill her with spears. (oops... glad it's just a dream)
      As chaos goes on, Pewds decides we should get into his car to escape.
      We agree, MrEnter questioning why we need a car in a dream.
      After a while we crash the car into some kind of hill. The car's totaled, but no one's injured.
      We step out to find ourselves on a bright road, no chaos, car nowhere to be seen.
      We all decided to get a Delorian time machine and travel in time.

      MrEnter (driver) suggested that we go to year 104.
      I reply that it is dangerous as that was "Aztec time" (actually in the early 1000s)
      I suggest going to the year 1774, but the others flatly decline.
      Before I have a chance for rebuttal, Pewdiepie (passenger) sets the year to 104.
      MrEnter speeds up within seconds and we find some sort of Native American tribe.
      They wield blowdarts, and look over to us menacingly when we see them. They do not look realistic, but rather like they're part of an animated cartoon.
      They chase us and we quickly drive back to the current year of 2015.
      We find ourselves on the same road.

      I had a FA and next thing I knew I was in a wooden chair with my laptop on a table in front of me.
      I went to MrEnter's twitter feed to find him describing the Delorian part of the dream.
      I note him on Deviantart saying that we may have had a shared dream.
      Moments later he replies saying that it's unlikely, and we just had a shared part-of-dream.
      I tell him about the first part of the dream (before the FA) in the comments.
      I refresh to find that nothing has changed.
      I scroll to the comments to find people complaining about a rushed Animated Atrocity.
      I refresh to see that his twitter feed contains an apology about it.
      He has posted a journal containing the Animated Atrocity apologizing on the fact that it was rushed.
      I check my replies, but there are none.

      I wake up.

      BONUS!
      I walked into a traditional-style kitchen to find a man eating a blueberry pastry while a woman in the corner played intense, depressing music on a piano.
    7. Faust and a god's tower

      by , 01-31-2015 at 08:21 PM
      A production of Faust, I'm going over a written list of the scenery needed for each scene. One scene is described as the Altar of Hell, and I have a mental image of Faust being pinned to a circular stone by two demons; that's the contract signing scene. The next scene is set in a field surrounded by trees, and my perspective changes so I see this as the audience would.

      Curtain rises on Marguerite and women of the chorus in the field; shortly afterward Faust enters from the right. In response to what the women had been singing, he sings something satirical about the dangers of love and the unfortunate fools who are caught up in it. This annoys Marguerite, and she turns away and pointedly ignores him. The women of the chorus exit, and Faust realizes how angry Marguerite is, so he jokes around in the hopes of getting back in her good graces, teasing her by singing a humorous song that starts with a verse about roosters and hens. She forgives him easily, and by the time he gets to the chorus she's joined in the song, flirting right back at him. The second verse is about deer and hunters, and she playfully leads him on a chase around the stage. As they exit, laughing, Mephistopheles strolls by in the background, keeping an eye on how things are playing out.

      (Woke up. Back to sleep.)

      There are four men, or people who were once men and are now weapons, kept chained up in their sleep. Two 'chains,' really - the collars around their throats, but also something much deeper that's never meant to be removed. I'm removing that second 'chain' from each of them. They wake up as I do so, and their first reaction is to moan about the pain, but gradually they regain a sort of awareness. It's interesting to watch - they're becoming aware of how much of their personality has been stripped away from them, but without actually regaining that personality they lost. Their master arrives then, and I expect them to attack him in revenge - that's the whole reason I freed them - but instead they cower in the corner, just looking at the pair of us.

      Memory gap. Next thing I remember, I've gone semi-lucid in order to pursue that master of theirs. He's closed himself off inside a tower where I shouldn't be able to follow, with an irritatingly arrogant attitude about it - he's essentially the god of this place, it won't allow me entrance if it goes against his will. Or at least it's not supposed to. The tower's a sort of futuristic art deco confection, lots of spheres and glowing purple lights, and I'm flying around it, demanding that it create an opening. With my next pass around the tower, I find an entrance has been created, opening onto a single room containing an elevator. It signifies that this place is as willing to depose its 'god' as I am. I take the elevator up to that man's private sanctuary - the elevator doors open to show me a vast pool lined with twisted white trees without leaves, and quite a lot of statues, including some of himself. This guy is unbelievable. There's a mansion at the far end of the pool, and I expect his mental trail to lead me there, but instead it leads me off to the right, to another body of water, and I focus on a light at the end of a pier.

    8. Chasing bubbles - TOTM fail.

      by , 01-31-2015 at 07:34 PM
      The first dream was a short one - a weird naked guy with a beard is in my room, watching me as I sleep. I jump out of bed and I am about to beat the crap out of him before I wake up at 4am.

      I do a WBTB for about fifteen minutes before going back to bed.

      First, I dream that I am partying with a younger Benedict Cumberbatch. He has longer hair, and we seem to be hanging out in the same kinds of places that I went to as a student.

      Then I have the lucid dream: This must have come in the middle of an REM cycle, because I don't remember how I got here, and my memories of what happened after were patchy.

      I'm not sure what is going, but I seem to be in the middle of a huge celebration. It is outdoors on a huge field - might even be a valley. It is sunny, and everything is very vivid, bright and idyllic - that's the best way I can describe it. Somewhere in the middle of all this, I remember there being a game of American Football going on, but it wasn't the main focus. The focus of the party was past the game, somewhere in the distance, but I can't remember what it was. The game was just part of the festivities.

      When I became lucid, I was in the crowd somewhere outside the American Football game. There was a real party atmosphere. I noticed that there were bubbles floating around as I checked the place out. I decided to attempt the January TOTM, and try to find a crystal ball so that I could ask it about the year ahead.

      I couldn't manifest a crystal ball. So I decided to capture one of the bubbles in my hand, and use that instead. I thought maybe it could turn into a crystal ball. I held one in my hand, hoping it might solidify into a crystal ball. It sort of went grey and a little thicker, but it popped in seconds before I could ask any questions.

      This happened a couple of times before I lost lucidity.

      After that all I remember is a fragment about being in my room, and watching a strange man try to clean the mould off the walls.

      Weird ETs (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Full Dream (+1)
      I was in a big house and I think I was staying over night. The house had like three or four stories and pretty much my entire family was in there. I was feeling homesick so I wanted to do some star gazing. As I was climbing the stairs, I heard my that calling me. He pointed at the sky and told me, "You are psychic like me, so I am sure you can see this in the sky. As I looked up, I saw:







      I felt pretty amazed, all four squares were alien crafts moving and I could communicate telepathically to them. I spend a while with my dad gazing and chatting about other planes of existance.

      After a while, the dream shifted and I was in some sort of major extraterrestial building research. There were actual ET beings here and I was thrilled in exploring this place.

      While I was exploring it, my wife told me to go to the hidden chambers and try to get some interesting information. As we were exploring the facility, out of the blue
      I turned lucid. I knew I was dreaming (+10) and just to double check I did a RC (+1) which it failed. I told my wife (+2), "Don't worry, it is just a dream, nothing will happen." It seems that some sort of emergency was going. My lucid was extremely low quality and I could not focus properly, I was barely holding lucidity about this one.

      My wife told me something about intergalactic sex, but I felt bad disrupting the beautiful ET energy (loosing lucidity.)

      As I went outside, I was wondering if I could take stuff out of the dream, in waking life. My wife told me to go to produce store and see how it felt to do a robbery in a dream. I imagined I had a gun in my poket and I was able to pull one
      (+4) but at this point in the dream I was loosing focus fast until I either went to no lucid or woke up.

    10. 2015-01-31 Comp (SCoAA) night #7: both prior homes in one night! projectile poop-blasting macaques

      by , 01-31-2015 at 01:19 PM
      New dreaming result! I had significant (semi-epic) dreams *both* of my childhood home and my prior adult home, both in the same night (one after another I think).

      Dream signs or oddities that captured my attention in the dream, funny/interesting moments in bold.

      FM = false memory

      This is but a taste of what I dreamed. I know scenes were forgotten, and details.

      earlier:

      +(f) college friend FG: hands me a piece of fish, then a piece of chicken, I take a bite of both, they're both slimy

      +(f) I have FG in a headlock, I'm contemplating knocking him unconscious (editorial: serves him right for the slimy food!)

      The location seems to be the doorway of my sister's bedroom in childhood home, looking out into the hallway. I see FG's face up close to mine.

      later:

      + childhood home, neighbor tree with projectile-poop-shooting macaques, bathroom window, shower, visit neighbor & more macaque poop-dodging [it runs out of ammo]

      I'm in my childhood home, main floor, I'm really happy to be here. I open the sliding glass door in the dining room and go out onto the deck. I stand at the railing looking at the view and look down to the trees/plants in our neighbor's yards down the hill from us. The trees look wrong, something's different. I see one of them (sort of thick, tropical looking tree, tall and skinny, with large fat leaves) is so tall that it has bent over and reaches all the way to the trees/bushes underneath our deck. This is not good, since I think that animals can climb up this tree to reach our house.

      I notice movement in the tree, it turns out there's a "macaque" there about half-way up. It's attack is shooting a strong, tight stream of projectile poop+liquid from it's ass at high speed and far distances. This stream heads for me and hits me squarely in the chest / face. I detect a faint poopy smell. This is nasty. There is another macaque sitting quietly on top of the deck railing where it meets the house on the right, quietly.

      I head to the bathroom upstairs to take a shower. There is a macaque on the roof, opening the window, I rush to close and secure the window. Macaque opens it again, I close it and try to secure it, I can't seem to lock it shut. I take shower.

      I am now in the house/yard of the house below ours where the "macaque tree is." I look up and see the projectile-poop-shooting macaque is still there. It shoots a few weaker streams in my direction which I successfully doge, it's running "out of ammo." A few last nuggets of poop fall out of its butt. The people who live there are moving away. I ask "you're taking the macaques with you, right?" They say "no." I say "oh God these macaques will be unsupervised."

      + adult home [First time both prior homes visited in one night!]: floor uneven, neighbor fence reduced, garage stairs & hamsters, male being & genitals, outdoors and young men making out

      I'm walking through the rooms of my prior adult home. I am thoroughly enjoying being back here. I look at the gorgeous hardwood oak floors. I notice in one room there is a depression in the floor, an uneven area like the floor has partially collapsed down there, a few feet long and a few inches wide, I look at it for a while confused, that wasn't here when we lived here. I walk past my kids old bedrooms and think how they'd like to see them again. I head to the master bedroom and go out the sliding glass door to the back/side yard. My attention is instantly drawn to the fence across from my, it's completely different from how it used to be. Instead of a uniform height, the fence at the point right across from the master bedroom door become half height (full height going off to the left), extending all the way to the right edge of the property. The neighbor's yard (M) is fully exposed and visible, I see the plants, trees, and a dog running around there. I also see into the yard of the house beyond them [FM, no such house], because the fence on the far side of M's yard is also half-height.

      I walk along the fence to the right a bit, then two young girls, M's daughters [FM, M has only one adult daughter] are sitting there, (I get a no-panties up skirt peek at one of them?), they go running into the house to get a present for us they prepared for our return. I wonder where M is?

      I go down the stairway (to a basement?) [FM, just short steps into garage], and while heading down I notice a small hamster cage on a high windowsill. It is 3/4 covered on top with a white cloth draped over it. I see one hamster clearly inside. I'm confused, I thought our hamsters died a long time ago, the new owners must have bought new ones?

      Heading back up the stairs with a bunch of chidden, it's hard to get through the opening, I instead manage to pry open the door and the kids can easily get through.

      I'm right next to a (young man? A male being, maybe not human) sitting in a (large hamster cage?) He's rubbing his genitals in the bark at the bottom of the cage, this will increase his power? He's rubbing back and forth, there's not much "down there". Then I look again and he has a large, erect penis. I think "uh oh looks like he achieved his power."

      Outdoors in the backyard, I'm talking to someone but my attention is caught by a sight I see through a window/the walls inside the house, two young men making out. Better not to disturb them.

      +(f) preparing to question guide about equipment in large indoor dock

      +(f) trying to access bank account with banker, keep entering access code wrong, 90-degree left rotated "c" (is is a "u"?)

      I ask the banker "will I be able to access my <my bank's name> account through this system?" He says/nods "yes." Can't enter the code correctly. Funny "u" character that looks like a "c" rotated on its side, or an "o" with just a small bit of the top missing"

      +(f) long narrow walk-in shower with ex-GF SB [non-sexy]

      I'm maneuvering past SB to get to the water.
    11. Dream Overload

      by , 01-31-2015 at 11:36 AM
      I was in some kind of prison/school. A guard was showing me around. He showed me a shop where we could download something but only from certain terminals. He told me the others were for public use. I vaguely recall traversing the prison before this point but I don't remember what happened during that time.

      At this point I watch a circle of leech like creatures in a containment unit. There are people outside the unit working with their hands through those wall gloves. Next to the circle of leeches I see what looks like a human leg, but it's grey and covered with boils and pus. It has a leech like mouth where it's toes should be. The leg is somewhat flat but it still looks like a human leg. The side of the containment unit obscures the upper part of the leg, so I don't know if it was connected to a body.

      I attend an awards ceremony. I brought something up to the stage and walked down to get a seat. I saw some of my old classmates and sat down beside them. One of the girls said "Sean one" (Sean is my name) and I joked back that I should take this chance while I can. Right afterwards I said that I'd "one" many more in future.

      I was on a school trip with my classmates on a bus. The bus journey lasted for quite a while but I don't remember much of it, I think I spent a lot of time looking out the window at scenery but I'm not sure. Eventually I saw a sign for a shopping centre and Cinema. I assumed we were going to the Cinema. As the bus drove up to the entrance of the shopping centre, a girl wondered out loud "Is this one of those drive in shopping centres?" We crowded into the centre and walked down a hallway. Many of my classmates walked to a leaflet stand and picked one up. I started walking towards the main area (meaning to ignore the leaflets) but turned back and picked one up anyway. At this point I saw a guy I recognised from my old secondary school walking up stairs. I hurried to catch up with him. (I never did) When I was in the main area with my classmates I realised I had accidentally picked up four leaflets. I offered three of them to classmates who didn't have one and they were happily taken. I then looked down at my own leaflet but the pages had become loose and the text looked like gibberish. I became frustrated.

      At this point I woke up and wrote down everything I could remember about my dreams. My hand was sore from the furious writing. I went back to bed.

      In dream land again I was in a primary school for disabled/ill children. (I don't know what, if anything was wrong with me) I was sitting in front of a computer screen. (all the kids desks had computers) One of the computers adjacent to mine had something about werewolves on the screen. I spent a while just sitting around when a bald dark skinned girl sat down beside me. I think she noticed there was nothing wrong with me because she became agitated and started asking for help. She was foaming at the mouth and when she screamed I could feel her spit on my face. Eventually the school day was over and I began to leave the school. My mother had come to collect me. As I was leaving a boy tried to hit me (bully I guess) but I kept walking, sidestepped him and then pushed him over with my left hand without even looking back. (It was pretty cool)

      At this point I had left the school and began walking between two iron barb fences. (not at ground level, at the top of the fences) The space was pretty tight and I think there were branches and bushes growing between them. I saw my mum at the end so I kept moving. When I reached the end I felt the fence bend under my weight, my mum and two girls from my secondary school helped me down. We walked home.

      I just remembered something else while typing this. I was in a car being driven around Bangkok. I saw a lot of burnt out buildings but eventually we came to the main part of the city. I don't remember what exactly was said but somebody implied that a famous Bangkok landmark was just a flat screen with the landmarks image. I took pictures as we circled an important building. (The camera didn't feel like a camera) I've never been to Bangkok so I'm sure it was just a nonsense location, but I'm impressed with how real it seemed.

      -------------------------------------------------------------

      Last night was weird because I felt like I didn't fall asleep at all. As far as I knew I had been tossing around in my bed until early morning when I suddenly remembered all these dreams. It was really hot last night so it was hard to get comfortable.

    12. The old hag

      by , 01-31-2015 at 10:45 AM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      It was in the cloudy afternoon. It was cold. I was in school. I was going from the entrance. Scenery changed to dark, moonless and starless night. I couldn't see anything, but luckily I had a flashlight with me. Weapons from Half-Life appeared, and other people were running and taking them. I decided to arm myself, and deathmatch started. When I've got some weapons people disappeared, and I went to the boiler room. It was dark, I couldn't see anything and my flashlight gave faint light, so I could see only blurred shapes in front of me. Suddenly I saw something moving up on some kind of platform. I jumped up there, and faced an old hag. She tried to kill me, but somehow I started flying. I attacked her from the air with the weapons I've found before. She resisted most of my attacks, and I landed because I couldn't fly anymore. I landed near the platform, and she tried to attack me from the top of it. A DC came to watch the show. He was staying near me. I somehow took a battle axe from my pocket, and striked the hag, killing her. Her body have fallen of the platform, and landed on the floor near me. It started changing, and now I saw a body of young woman lying on the floor. I took the axe, and hacked her head open. I couldn't see te brain and told a DC Something's not right. Where's the brain? I looked again and found it, filling only half of her skull. I told Why is the brain filling only half of her head? The DC told me It's fine, don't worry about it. I replied But shouldn't it fill all the space available for brain? Shouldn't it fill all of her skull? DC told me I told you, it's fine.

    13. Bits and pieces.

      by , 01-31-2015 at 06:39 AM
      I've been terrible these last two weeks. Not getting enough sleep, not a consistent sleeping pattern. On a day to day basis, I'm doing my MILD/DILD checks less frequently because I'm just too busy and swamped under a lot of pressure at work.

      However, I remember quite a bit from last night's dream, which is surprising because i'm not sleeping more than 4 hours per day at the minute, something that needs to change.

      Again, it's another non-lucid dream, and it's video game based.

      I am the dragonborn, and I have been roaming the lands in search of dragons. Protecting people from dragons, and killing dragons I meet. These dragons weren't the same as in the game though, no, these dragons were really really really big and more often than not I had a group of people I had to get to safety before any fighting could begin, normally through barriers and what not. This goes on for awhile, protecting people, flying away from dragon, and protecting more people, and so on.

      Then at some point I am teleported to a room, a bedroom. Someone was asleep in the bed, but woke up when I arrived there, asking who I was. The reason for me to be in this bedroom was the big tv screen, it gave me a large view of the world map. I said "I am the dragonborn". At which point an alarm starts going off. 3 hours until the world ends. The guy who was asleep, asks "can you do it?" I say, I dont think so, there are so many dungeons I haven't cleared, as I show him on the screen, "theres just no time, fuck". I say, when the world ends it will restart and I will have the same amount of time to save the world than I did this time. I will definitely do it then. (OP note: think majoras mask).

      Then, I am teleported outside with 5 mins to go, I see a massive golden dragon head statue poke it's way through the cloudy skies above, as it aimed for earth, it signaled the end of the world.

      I think I woke up at this point, but immediately fell back into a dream.

    14. Romania, Teaching, Flying, and Waterbending

      by , 01-31-2015 at 03:47 AM (The Kestrel's Dreams)
      January 29, 2015



      Back to Romania!!

      I was one of three siblings from Romania. While we lived in Romania, there were lots of adventures, mainly running away from this flying monster that was always after us. I'm not sure that we were human; in fact I think we were some medium-sized rodent-thing. After running away from this big flying monster (we were swinging through huge trees that were much more like a jungle than Romania, but whatever) we ended up going through a magical portal which landed us in the field behind my house back home.

      I got separated from my two siblings, and while looking for them, I found out that the Power Puff Girls lived there. And they wanted to eat us. Well, Bubbles and Buttercup wanted to eat us. Blossom thought it was wrong to eat animals (she must have been a vegetarian). Anyways, Buttercup and Bubbles had laid a series of traps for my siblings and I. One of them was at the little trolley line running from the shed to a large tree. There was another wire running along the ground there, and if we tripped it, we'd explode or catch on fire, or something. The other thing they did... was use our call. We used a call back in Romania to make sure we were all safe (kinda like what Rue and Katniss did in the Hunger Games, but the tune was the one my mentor teacher uses to call the kids to attention). It was so strong in us to reply when that call was made, that when Buttercup made the call, I yelled, "THAT'S NOT FAIR. THAT'S ABUSING THE POWER OF THE CALL." And I came out from hiding. My siblings had also heard the call and were with me then. And so we had to fight the Power Puff Girls.

      I don't remember specifics about the battle, but we beat them somehow. I remember something about using the trampoline that used to be in the yard against them, maybe we took the net off and trapped them in it?

      Anyways, after we beat them, there was a tall, skinny man in black who was also from Romania. He had falling into the same portal, and didn't know how to get back. He came out with a huge gun, and was going to catch us, because Bubbles and Buttercup had promised him they'd get him back home if he helped them get us. I convinced him to help us instead, so we could all go back home together. He said I had a good idea, and I replied, "Dude I know I have great ideas, now LET'S GO."

      I assume we all got back safely. I vaguely remember flying above my house, maybe the portal back to Romania was in the air?




      Fragment: Class

      I was teaching a small, extra class and one of my students was there, and her mom, too.




      Odd Way To Fly...

      I was learning to fly with this weird contraption where if you blew through a tube, you went up, and if you pinched the tube, you went down. I was in a sort of game with my brothers and a few others (I think Zukin was there), and we were seeing how high up we could go. Everyone was afraid of losing oxygen, but I was like, "screw it, I can't get hurt!" and kept blowing through the tube until I hit a barrier of sorts really, really high up. I think I had a suuuuper low level of lucidity, because I was confident that I wouldn't die even if there was no air. I was so high up that the others flying around looked like ants, I could barely see them. When I looked at the land, it was a little bit like in Minecraft when you fly super high in creative mode, where it's just this big square of landscape. I also remember going through phases of different colored atmospheres, like the sky above me would change color until it was white, when I hit the barrier.

      I flew back down and reported that there was a barrier before you'd run out of air.




      Evil Overlord Waterbender

      I was playing a survival game of sorts on a deserted island. There were two teams of three people each. My team had decided to set up our home base right on the beach. We had built up a foundation for our house with large square rocks (almost Minecraft-y) and used straw and bark and newspapers and magazines to build up a more comfortable floor and walls. I had become the leader of my group (though I'd like to think it was through honest means, I think I was more of a tyrannical dictator).

      There was a sort of refreshment store right next to our house. They sold a drink called Grape Rape (How could you, subC, HOW COULD YOU) and another, alcoholic drink, called Rum Running. Apparently it was enough rum to keep you drunk until you drove all the way across the state. Like you were supposed to buy it, drink it all, and then drive across the state. IT was like the House Special Challenge, or something. If you made it there in one piece, you got another, apparently.

      Anyways. The opposing team tried to cut off our access to the water by blocking off the spot where we were going to put a dock, so that we would have to make some sort of deal with them. But I was like hahaha FUCK NO, and went all waterbender on them or something. I raised my arms and the water started to rise from the shore and move out into the ocean. The way the water flowed out was really trippy and hard to describe. It was strait and dramatic, then moved out with 90-degree angles and whatnot. It rose three levels, and then the guy ran away. I threw a huge boulder out into the water, where the guy had been in a boat (as if it weighed nothing) and then tossed out a suspension-bridge-like set of planks that automatically connected to the boulder, creating the dock we had desired.

      The water had lowered again, but when it rose, the walls of our house got torn down, and all that was left now was the floor made of newspapers and magazines. It was strange, they were like rolled up and filled in the space, so it was lumpy. I was laughing maniacally and gathered my two underlings and we just laid out on the magazines and fell asleep.
    15. Wow....Weird~

      by , 01-31-2015 at 03:24 AM
      I was looking for something to eat and decided to put some bacon that was in the fridge inside a toaster to heat it up. My parents were around annoying me saying i was being too picky. I opened the toaster to see a whole pack of bacon with the cover on. Baffled i asked my parents "Did i really just put the whole packet of bacon in the toaster!?" They said yes. I was still tempted to eat the bacon.

      The next thing i recall is i ended up in a place where a few kids were. I saw a stack of boxes in a place and looked inside a box and pulled a toy out of the box and asked why there were toys inside. They told me someone put toys inside. Than someone made the boxes collapse. After that the scene changed. I was now in a anime world and was on t.v. The channel's logo was Tihiti i think. XD Everyone in the show was running around and a narrator was describing lots of terrible events that was occuring. After that i jumped out of that scene and ended up inside a weird looking place.

      It looked like a redish and bluish painted place and was decorated to look like a deserted cave like place where a ship was. There was a huge door too. I heard my brother's friend and my brother talking excitedly and laughing. I was going to peek inside but stopped when i saw a girl walk out with something. I ran after her into a hall than jumped her and asked her why she was here.

      Than out of no where i heard a guy ask me why i was beating up his manager. I turned to see Jim Carey.
      "Who are you?" I asked pretending i didn't know."I'm Jim Carey! Come on! How can you not know that!?"he asked. I than said i didn't know why than ran. He chased me and everything was starting to turn black. I grab a little girl's hand that appeared and was pulled up but he still caught me.
