non-lucid

Even with me being lazy and not really dream journalling I've consistently recalled 1 or 2 dreams practically every night for the past few weeks. I found this dream to be interesting, vivid and quite insightful actually, ripe for interpretation. I know a fair bit of what signifies what, well along with the emotions I felt during the dream.

Dream 1: Fragment, I'm sure I was among a big group of people in some sort of wasteland/fantasy land, leading them perhaps, but not sure.

Dream 2: I was reading a book in my Media class, it was illustrated beautifully depicting a man and two kids fighting a fire in their house. I finished reading the book and our teacher said goodbye to us and started giving back some tests and some cards. I got 4 cards and the the bell rang and school was over. I then walked to my the train station with my brother before I opened up two of the cards. One of them was from a classmate and the other from the teacher, for some reason I didn't open the other two. I went on the train and I saw the student who had given me one of those cards and started talking with her. I saw she had a big sack full of cards and some presents which I inquired a bit about. After we talked a bit she said goodbye for the rest of the year. I was puzzled and asked her why she said that, as school still had one more day left before he holidays, but then she told me it was a public holiday and so today was the last day. I suddenly realized that I hadn't cleared out my locker or anything like that and panicked a bit.
Fast forward to the start on the next year, and I arrived at school trying to find a top locked (I'm 6 foot 5 and sick of bottom lockers ). I tried searching for one but the few which still didn't have locks on had people stuff in them anyway. In fact, I couldn't really find a free locker anywhere. I was looking around for help a bit when I heard an alarm go off and I saw someone I know breaking into a classroom with the key. Their accomplice got taken away and then n I woke up.

I was travelling through a fantasy land (or what I thought was fantasy, it just looked like countryside really but I got the impression it was "ye olde times") and I came across a house. I entered the house and I met a man and his mother, I told them I was on the run from someone (I had the feeling he was in a position of power) the son and mother knew who I was talking about and agreed to let me stay the night.

I remember looking for something in one of their kitchen cupboards but the one I opened first was full of ice. (like a freezer) The mother got a bit flustered so I tried to lighten the mood by joking about how because this kitchen was so similar to my own at home I thought everything would be in the same place.

I remember sitting down at the kitchen table talking to the son but I can't recall what was said. Eventually it was "known" (I can't recall it being brought up) that I had to go out with the son to pull carrots for the stew we were having for dinner. I followed him outside and we walked over to some....troughs on legs (not sure what to call it) that were full of soil and large knobbly carrots. I pulled some and carried them in my arms. I saw a HUGE round carrot that in hindsight looked more like an orange turnip. I joked to the son that you could make a whole stew out of that one carrot. He muttered something under his breath that I didn't catch.

At this point I jumped and saw some kind of map interface. I could switch between multiple maps where I could zoom in and watch people walking about. (It might have been the same world where I was on the run) I got an impression that each map was an alternative version of the same world but I'm not certain.

At this point I jumped again, I don't remember anything about this part except I watched some people fly into the sky and explode into socks. Up to that point is everything I remember.

I only just started attempting to recall dreams yesterday, so it might be a bit weak and screwy right now. These were all non lucid dreams.

My twin flame helps me with a scavenger hunt to enter a synchrotron (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Full Dream Recall (1 pts)
Non Lucid Dream from WBTB (failed) (2 pts)

I was in a big hotel and it was spring. The hotel had huge gardens and a massive pool. Around the gardens, there were smaller pools just to wet the feet and there were tons of flowers and grass.







I was excited because even though it was warm, there were no bees or other flying insects. I saw a few spiders but I like spiders so I had no problem with them. I saw some signs around announcing a Yugioh tournament with the photo of Pegasus







I also saw Olga, my twin flame who was hanging out with a friend, and I believe her boyfriend was around there too (15 x 2 = 30 pts) and it seems there was some activity of a scavenger hunt going on. I was very delayed because I just noticed it. Olga came to me and kissed me a few times and was very amotional. She told me she would help me to catch up.

I had to get some coupons to be able to join a synchrotron and do some stuff in there







I had to go to fast food restaurants and do surveys in exchange of coupons. I needed to rush because Olga's friend was a bit rude with me and she did not want to get delayed (it seems she was in Olga's team or something.) As I did the survey, it was five pages long, but most was text. I also had a folder with a ton of paper masks that apparently I used in a different dream (note: I was not lucid) so I tossed all the masks. When I gave the survey, I could say that a lot of papers were scratched. The guy from the place gave me a ton of extra coupons because he liked my energy as well as 100 euro because it was the payment for the survey. I felt it was an easy way to do money. I went to two or three places more. It was getting close to 7pm, due time to enter the synchrotron. Olga went with me to a mall while holding my arms and her friend was grumpy. We went to a huge mall and we needed to go to a five story store called "Dohuwk" (this store was made up, it seems not to exist) and it was a clothing store. I just had to do a small purchase to get the last coupon. As we were walking to it, I said something about Oklahoma. Olga's friend said it was to be said with a different accent and she said it in a strange tone of voice. She also said that she was going to buy a Nissan 15.

Intimate moments with wife (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This is a full dream recall (1 pts) but I will not share details due maturity content as well as personal content, but think of a pretty long sex scene with my wife in different rooms and even different places (some public)

Morning of January 28, 2015. Wednesday.



This is mostly an impersonal dream of going to a college with unknown students with various personality types. I seem to be there almost as a token student who watches the class activities, though I feel somewhat like a teacher at times (but not that defined). There seems to be an odd underlying mood as if the college is a place for additional invasive government-related experiments of some kind, which are not shared with the public.

One year has apparently already passed. There is one outdoor graduation ceremony where someone is killed (by an unknown sniper) and their shirt is covered with blood, which touches me as we are both on the ground at one point (though I am not hurt), a circle of people around us, some waving off others in the area. This scenario is not focused on for very long and there are several shifts.

One room I am in at one point is reminiscent (in conscious afterthought only) of my middle school carpentry classroom, which also had leather-work in the year that followed. There are only about four students in the room (who I lightly converse with). There is one area that also vaguely reminds me of Eco 3 (factory) - though the area is not filled with old tires. There are remarks about nuclear physics. In fact, I make a few comments connecting the flavor and essence of coconut with work in nuclear physics. As nuclear physics and bombs are sometimes plays on sexuality, it makes sense in light of the fact that my wife had the scent of coconut soap on her prior to my dream, which was nice.

Over time, however, I again sense a government involvement in the student being shot earlier. Each larger lab table (of which there are three longer ones in the room) has enclosed two-tiered shelves underneath, and for some reason I open one end to look in - and at this point it seems like one of the last days of school where people are cleaning out their belongings. A picobot, but more like a miniature robotic insect, rectangular and on at least six legs (instead of wheels), is discovered on the upper shelf behind something, but it immediately leaves the area upon being seen. This picobot was supposedly designed to both observe and somehow influence the physics students. (This is nothing new; I first dreamt of something very similar back in 1974 as well as the plot and detailed look of the Tom Selleck movie “Runaway” years before it came out.)

I and the other students follow it down the hall. We eventually come to an open elevator shaft (which seems at least seven floors down) and the picobot deliberately walks into the area and over the edge and falls into the elevator shaft, to intentionally destroy itself, it seems (so that there is no evidence of its programming). It does not explode however. My dream loses cohesion after this.

> A bit about me looking on the screen of a portable (and monochrome or set to monochrome) device showing a 1972 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser (Clamshell) Wagon sitting around in a little valley without windows and with moss in it, but still drivable for a Demolition Derby. Some people stood nearby.

I know there were more dreams.

I couldn't sleep well. I recall heading to the downtown district of a big city.

My sleep schedule is very messed up. Other than that I seem to be in the right place. I did a good run of written autosuggestion at about 10:00 last night only to not fall asleep until after midnight.

-Something to do with being chased by a giant. I was trying to climb vines on a large concrete dam to get away from him. There were plants and tropical flora everywhere as though we were in a jungle.

-Edward Elric got crushed by a falling boulder and nearly died.

-My mom's old laptop had cracks in the screen that were only visible if you looked at the screen from an angle.

I forgot to really recall my dreams during the nap I had earlier, so the only thing that I can remember is that I was trying to do something, and it was stressful. I figured I should go ahead and put down what I have.

The name "Prama Pradhami" or something

A curse between two lesbians.
A candle. It's too late. One or two of them has/have to go to the sea to meet the sea god.
Ice floats on the sea.
Going to a restaurant via a car from the seaport. Can we fit in the car?

I was trying to avoid a calamity. Is it inside or outside of the condominium?

NOTES:

Woke up and fell asleep a few times. I tried to write what little I can remember.

January 26, 2015 (With CZ)

---

I could NOT sleep last night. Figured I was being good and going to bed early around 10:00... nope. Didn't fall asleep until 11, then woke up at midnight and was awake, trying to fall back asleep, until 4 am, then woke again at 5, and was awake for another hour or so attempting to WBTB and only have about another hour and a half of sleep before my alarm went off D:
Nevertheless, had a few interesting dreams:




Cave Tour (between 4:00 and 5:00)

I was on a tour of a huge cave system. I was with Zukin, a few other people I know, and at least one anime character, though I can't remember which one. I distinctly remember the ceiling getting higher and higher as we climbed up. It was reminiscent of the Carlsbad Cavern if you walk back up. At the top, though, there was a small amphitheater and a projector, and a door in the wall at the very, very back top corner. The projector was supposed to display the night sky on the cave ceiling, with a short presentation about something, but the projector wasn't working. We tried to get it to start working, but nothing was helping. Zukin suggested finding a ranger to help us, but there were none to be seen. In fact, we were the only ones in the whole cave...




Sleep Over (between 6:00 and sometime before 7:30)

I was with my mom, and we were visiting Zukin's house. We were in a room divided by a book shelf that was about shoulder height. Each side had a couch, but there was only a TV on one side. We were arguing over who got to sit on the TV side and therefore decide what to watch. I am pretty sure I wanted to watch Doctor Who. On the side without the TV, there were about fist-sized holes along the bottom of the wall, every two feet or so. Zukin's mom mentioned them being homes for the rats she kept as pets.

The dream shifted a bit and instead of my mom and I visiting Zukin and her mom, it was just me visiting some guy. I was about to leave, but it started storming and my bus was canceled. So I had to stay the night. He was saying that I would sleep on one side of the room, and he would sleep on the other side so I wouldn't feel lonely but also wouldn't be worried about him doing anything. Such a gentleman, though I wanted to sleep on the same side, though I didn't tell him. We stayed up pretty late watching a movie on my side, though, and both ended up falling asleep on the loveseat reclining couch.




Mall School (right after dream 2)

I was in a class about dinosaurs. I was listening to the professor get all the information wrong, though I can't remember how it was wrong. I got fed up with all the misinformation, and got up to go to the bathroom. I exited the classroom into what seemed like a mall (I've had a few dreams with malls that have classrooms instead of shops...) and turned left to the bathroom. I skipped the toilet and just went to wash my hands, and might have gotten lucid if my alarm didn't wake me up right then D:

LD. Ran around place. Met lots of DCs. Forgot a lot of things. It's funny how my personal goal is to talk in-depth with a DC because my usual LDs are devoid of people, and then my brain starts throwing DCs at me... heh. Too bad everyone was in a hurry .-. Still haven't had that conversation yet.

I'm in this city where there's snow and something is happening and apparently someone is also named Ivy and I am also. I end up climbing up walls sideways and then I start tossing vines to tree branches. I begin swinging on them faster and faster and then I end up in a place that looks like my neighborhood. At some point here I become lucid.

I do an RC (nose pinch) and then start walking around, and the place becomes similar to Manhattan with the sidewalks and buildings.

At some point I run into Castiel in his trenchcoat and all that (from Supernatural) and he's rounding the corner and I'm like "hey Castiel" and I don't remember what he says but it wasn't anything notable probably?

I run into these two guys who tell me their names when I ask (McGebbers and Eddy) They're stereotypical goons. Apparently I saw their boss somewhere on some tv show or movie) but I can't remember what he's called now.

I see this girl walking and think she's Emily so I go up to her and say "Hey Emily!" And she turns around and whoops she's not Emily. She starts going down this subway station but I call down to her and ask if she has anything interesting to tell/show me and she says something in response.

While running around I run into these two men in suits and sunglasses. I ask them their names and they look at each other and one of them presses a gun to my head but I don't remember what they say. I escape unscathed, though.

I get to this park or sth and see Noah. He's going somewhere but I pull him back and he's really light. I tell him that we're in a dream and he says, "Oh cool, is it my dream?"
"Mine actually."
"Huh."

I also meet this serial killer somewhere? Or someone like Ted Bundy, only not Ted Bundy.
I meet a lot of people but I'm starting to forget what's happening and I run into this wall with a list of "have you seen these people " sort of task list and I wish I had paper or something to mark them off. I realize I don't have my backpack with me, just my regular clothes. I think about conjuring up some paper but I don't. I read the lines and some of them mention "Elmo" and "McGebbers" and "Eddy".

I go into this school but I change my mind since I don't want to be stuck inside for the rest of my dream and I turn back and of course the entrance is blocked off by a stone wall. So I go to the edge of it and dig my fingers in and pull, and I get out.
Possibly see the night sky and stars and cliff?

At one point I end up near these creepy windows with this thing peering out, like those movie posters where a creature is looking through a crack in the curtain and you can only see their eye. I just remember that it was creepy, though.

When I wake up I'm in this FA where I imagine myself writing down the stuff in a Muji notebook and noting it as Second Market. Apparently I've met the two goons before and I've drawn one of their faces and it looks remarkably similar. I write about sleeping in and how it's like 1:30 pm. And then I fade back into reality, and it's actually 9:10am or so.

I walked into a crowded bus filled with people, hoping to arrive at my destination soon. "Why does there have to be so many people?.. "I thought to myself as people began to push themselves inside. Than i turned to see a baby carriage being brought inside the bus and thought how even more uncomfortable things were about to get. When the bus started i looked to the side and saw a man in a sherlock holmes outfit.

The bus stopped at the next stop and the sherlock holmes guy pushed the carriage out of the bus. I got out of the bus as well and was sort of intrigued by the man in the interesting outfit. Suddenly he stoped and turned to face me. I looked down to see no baby in the carriage but a piece of paper. He handed me the paper and i realized that this had to be a dream.

"Oo~ A piece of paper for me?~You want me to read this?"I asked happily. He made a gesuture that he wanted me to read it so i looked at it closely. But there were just random letters and numbers placed around."I can't read this" I said but was still content with the observational dream task given by the dream character. I than looked around and was pulled by a dream character into a clothing store.Apparently there was a thief after me.I hid under the clothing and waited till it was safe to walk out.

When i walked out i was introduced to a couple of dream characters who were supposedly real lucid dreamers that were just hanging around in their unique looking place. There were no walls around. They started talking about anime for some reason. A little girl showed me a ipad where i saw a list of Ghibli films. I asked them if they have ever seen the movie "Welcome to the Spaceshow". They said they've never seen it before so i told them they should watch it. Its not a Ghibli film but its really good. After that i was taken away from the room and appeared in a girl's bathroom.

I felt like i was now a responsible secret agent given with the task of protecting non lucid dreamers from being lucid raped. As i was on the lookout i noticed a really short mexican guy walking into the bathroom. There were other girl's who looked mexican too and they were getting ready for their show. The girls slowly started leaving but than the short guy grabbed a girl and tried to rape her. I crawled under the bathroom stall and told him he was breaking the rules and i would not allow it to happen anymore. He left and slowly began to dissapear. Other guys began to leave the bathroom as if what they were doing was no problem.

I left the bathroom as well and recall ending up in a house that appeared to be my aunt's new house.I was looking for something to eat and decided to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich but when i tasted the peanut butter it was watery."Eww! Why does this taste like water? Do you guys have a new one?" I asked. But it didn't seem like they were interested in looking for a new one.I don't remember why but it turned into a fight where i wanted to hit my cousins again. I didn't care this time about less dream control. I was gonna make it work. I took the bottle of peanut butter and threw it against the counter and it bounced off and hit my cousin. I felt good about that and after fighting for a bit i won. I felt happy that i had the upperhand in the dream now than woke up.

Notes For Newbies #1

I am not encouraging violence.My real goal was dream control in this dream even though i can't recall why the fight started.I feel that when you have the upperhand against dream characters it boosts your defense in the dream against the more violent characters that you can't control. What did i learn from this dream? Dream items can throw off the dream character's control and can create an opening for an offense attack. Always keep a bottle of peanut butter next to you in your dreams. Haha
(Ofcourse This Is A Joke)

Two fragments of a really cool dream that I had, sadly I didn't become lucid but the dream itself was quite vivid so that's a good thing. I also did a WBTB at 3:20 after going to bed at 11pm but that didn't really help anything and I fell back to sleep to this dream.

Non-Lucid
Questioning
Lucid

Fragment One:
I was in an undersea library with my dad and I somehow had gotten powers that could allow me to do anything that I wanted. We met a little girl who said it was her birthday and she wanted food and a boy to play with. My dad and I led her towards an elevator and when the doors opened I created some food. The doors closed and while we were in the elevator I noticed the little girl had a large carrot hat on. I looked to the food again and it was also filled with carrots. The elevator doors opened on the same floor we were on previously and I created a boy about my age to play with the little girl, she didn't seem the slightest bit interested and started playing on a laptop. I made the boy to be her age and he ran up to her, threw the laptop away, grabbed her hand and went off to play somewhere.

Fragment Two:
My dad and I exited the library before being approached by a fish/man who told us that we should keep quiet about what we were trying to find otherwise pirates could take advantage of us. My dad thanked him and I thought to myself that if we were caught I would be able to kill everyone with my new power. I then saw two of my friends that had left the school over by a cafe of sorts, they were wearing leather jackets with jeans and were also with another group of people that I assumed were their other friends. I approached the one on the left and asked him if he remembered me, in reply, he introduced me to the other one and told me I had met him in year 5. I found this slightly odd since I had met the guy much earlier than that but I got distracted when a lot of my other friends, who were also wearing leather jackets, began running down the street. I ran after them and as I vaulted over some railing and jumped a large flight of stairs I realised that I was wearing a leather jacket too. Every time I did a stunt I would hear J's voice telling me to be careful, I kept on trying to reassure her that everything was fine and that I was completely safe but she got really worried when I grazed my knee on some paving. I again wondered why I felt no pain but I wanted to focus on the supposed race that my friends and I were having. I told J again that it didn't hurt and proceeded to do a huge jump onto the top of a four story carpark roof, I began to float upwards mid-air but came back down and landed on the third story. The dream ended there.

I really liked that dream, it was vivid and epic so I would like to do something like that again. Becoming lucid would make that dream more epic and I am begninning to question the dreams again so if I can do an RC it'll be as easy as that. I'm going to try the WBTB a little bit later in the morning or go to bed earlier because when light comes through the blinds I can't go back to sleep anymore so that's something to also take into account.

- Have a third Lucid Dream.
- Have a conversation with a DC.
- Fly.
- Find my Dream Guide.
- Summon an an animal and ask it a question. [Dare]

A woman's just rescued two men and they're currently escaping through a series of underground tunnels. She's just shoved one of them up a ladder, to a manhole leading out of this tunnel, but apparently that's her limit - she collapses onto the floor, which is a sort of metal grate over water. I can see blood on her face. The other man says, teasing about the way she's been telling him to just let her handle things this whole time, "This is your plan? To lie here and bleed to death?"

She says, "See, I knew you wouldn't be down with the plan."

He picks her up and carries her up the ladder. I switch to first person, from the POV of the man she'd shoved up the ladder before; we've climbed up to the level of the subway tunnels that are currently in use. We walk along the tracks for a while, and just as we reach a platform - currently empty, though I'm aware people could show up at any moment - we hear a train in the distance. I have to help both of them up onto the platform, he's so tired from carrying her, and I'm thinking about how we each keep exhausting ourselves to pull the other two up. I climb up after them, and collapse on the stairs, exhausted, listening to the train.
