non-lucid

I'm not sure now to describe this dream. It was very long and complex, but when I think about writing it down, I can't think of how to explain it, so it may be pretty short.

Dream:

I was in a sort of "time loop". It was like for years I had been doing the same thing. I had been going to the school and being with my sister who is a teacher and with Mrs L. I had a tradition of doing a storytelling presentation. Every time it was the same, because every time in the "time loop" the day started exactly the same. But then suddenly I was there and about to do my presentation and realized that something had happened, and everything was different. I remember going into Mrs. L's office and we were both feeling nervous about what was happening.

----

Wow, that was a terrible way to describe what felt like an epic dream.

Date: 1/26/2015
Method: MILD, Mantra
Total Sleep time: 8 hours
WBTB Time: 15-20 minutes

I remember three fragments:

1. I was writing a letter to GOD and asking him when I will see him and/or what will it take to see him
2. I was riding in the car with with Beyonce and Solange (this should have been a dream sign for me...never ever will happen in my lifetime)
3. False Awakening: I was writing in my dream journal about riding in the car with Beyonce and Solange
4. I was making coffee in my walk in closet and someone was trying to turn on the stereo (also in my closet) and we couldn't figure out how to turn it on.

I LUCID DREAM TONIGHT!!!

1.26.15

Last night bed around 8 pm.

DR:
I'm leavin a managers apartment, after me and some kids with me slept over there for some reason. As I'm leaving, 3 men are coming to her place. I recognize one of them as a famos actor, but I can't remember his name. He looks like a cross between Liam Neesen and James Franco.

He recognizes me as an actress and he is kinda happy to see me. He is telling everybody inside about me. I'm telling him to stop, because I didn't tell anybody about me being an actor and he is embarrasing me. But he continues doing it. (this is from me convo with OpheliaBlue in irc last night, when we talked about my other job and I didn't wanna say too much. And Ophelia was saying that I play in the movies).

I'm looking for the manager now to thank her that she let us sleep over there. I see her few times but she disappears. I fnaly find her and she doesnt want to look at me and she tells me she has chicken pox, and she is not happy I stayed there, I should have asked, because she doesn't want us getting sick.

I'm walking through some rooms now, looking for kids that came with me, so we can leave. The place is dirty and as I look at my shoe, I see a tiny white inchworm. (This is from the gif OpheliaBlue either posted or commented on in irc - Inchworm Boy).

DR:
I walk into a movie theater. It's rather small, and it's bright. The screen is blank, for some reason, the movie is not playing. There is some technical issues people are saying. They start leaving.

I was driving down this street where most of the houses were decorated up for Halloween, even though it wasn't the time for Halloween. It seemed like the house owners were in competition with one another trying to make the best looking haunted house. The decorations were really good, and some houses had facelifts even, where the wall itself was re-crafted into scary looking designs. You could tell a lot of work was put into getting these houses looking this way.

I was in a room. It was dark. I watched a guy hunt for pokeballs. I went next. I went under the table and chairs, but it was too dark I couldn't see. Then I wondered, why am I hunting for pokeballs in the dark? I remembered I went to sleep because of the blackout. I became partially awake, but not completely. I was just aware I had my eyes open but can't see anything. I can vaguely see the window and curtains but it was hazy. Maybe it was just my imagination and I was still in a dream. I was a bit scared because I might have vision problem. I closed my eyes, hoping I'll be aware in my next dream.

In my dream, I was in a mall. I was looking for something or someone. I can't remember the rest clearly, but I wasn't aware.

Lucid

WILD (after WBTB):

The dream started with me feeling my body in bed and my dream body simultaneously. I focused on moving my dream body hands and feet until I no longer noticed my body in bed. I then moved to the edge of the bed and stood up. The room was dark, I couldn't see. I shuffled over to the door and started touching the walls and the floor. I then gradually started to open my dream eyes and the room was brightly lit. I suddenly noticed this strong itching sensation in my ear and I thought to myself, "noooooooooo".
Then I woke up and itched it. I started to go back into the dream but B-dog and H-dog jumped up on the bed and started licking my arm like it was the most delicious thing that they had ever tasted.

DILD:

This was an attempted WILD that failed but I became lucid later in the dream.

It was dusk and the landscape was lit up with a warm, orange glow. I was laying down in the back of a jeep with Dreamer and looking out across the countryside. We had been cuddling for awhile when the jeep started to move, someone was driving it. I think it was supposed to be Dreamer's aunt or something in the dream. The car started to move very fast and I felt like we were going to get thrown out the back so I tried to brace myself, but I still worried that the force would be too much and my arm would snap.

I looked around and saw that they were driving after an old man, someone's grandpa. They called him grandpa Pete. He snow white hair and he wore blue jeans with a blue shirt. He was running around the city, trying to run away from something. They kept driving after him while calling out that he should stop running and just get over it. Whoever was driving the jeep started swerving in and out of oncoming traffic. I became lucid and asked them to stop the car. I ran across this huge interstate with 8 lanes of traffic coming at me at 70+mph. I deftly dodged the cars and jumped past a huge truck that barely missed me, then ran up to grandpa Pete. He picked up a tire iron and told me to stay back while wildly swinging it in front of him. I wasn't worried about it. He threw the tire iron at me and I asked him what was wrong. He told me that he was afraid of dying, he said that he was 88 years old and he was probably going to die soon and that he didn't want to. I told him something about life being a circle and that maybe being close to death just meant that he was going to be young again. He liked the idea of that and then he turned into a sand creature as his body melted into the ground. He laid there with his flat, sand body and a huge, peaceful grin on his face. I then decided to go eat some dream food before I woke up because I was right outside of a gas station. Woke up as I walked inside.

red eyes fights for eternity getting punch and kick

A decent night before WBTB turned into a great recall night after WBTB and successful BTS (back to sleep).

23:30 pre-bedtime
00:00 (?) bedtime

06:26

+(f) bunch of dogs digging in a hole in a little hut, "dig dig dig dig dig dig!" someone (me?) says, "where's the hole? where's the hole? where's the hole?"

+ picking and eating red/blue berries from a bush; showing people around AH, our old bike jumps, 'lost my two front teeth"

A number of people are standing around a tangled, medium-sized berry bush. There are blue and red colored berries, I'm looking to try to find the best berries.

I'm walking along the main street on AH showing some people around: we reach the "end" of the street where there is a fairly large dirt pile. I explain that this is a bicycle jump, one of the many that we build on the hill. We walk back the other way towards the berry bush. I'm saying there are jumps all over the hill and we used to ride all over the hill doing this jumps, and that is how I knocked out my two front teeth.

+ kayaking homeschool, fast, sleek kayaks, channels between the reeds, rain

I'm floating through narrow channels of water amongst tall reeds. Children are zipping by paddling kayaks at fairly high speed. They are really good at it. This is a homeschool where they teach kayaking, it's an integral part of the curriculum, you wouldn't be able to do this in a normal school. The kayaks are sleek. Small girls are paddling them, at high speed, I'm admiring their skills. It starts raining, I imagine they must go inside and wait for the rain to stop before continuing kayaking, what will they do inside?

+ outdoors outside building, google project(?), the walls have ears (typos), people digging up, record and print my words

Outside a large concrete building on a sloping lawn with a group of young people, like outside a University building at a college. I'm talking, I'm saying lots of things. At some point I realize that my words are verbatim appearing as text on the walls of the building we're next to. "The walls have ears!" I exclaim. I see that even my mis-pronounced words are recreated exactly using "typos" in the words on the wall. This is some sort of privacy-invading project run by Google. Suddenly a team of workers appears, they begin digging around the base of the building, pulling up plates of concrete. Something we've said is "against their rules" and so they must enter the machinery and erase it from memory.

+ fire alarm/brigade, drive through town (deja vu), moving extremely heavy concrete blocks car prototype ('sorry, no fire'), club house 2 men workers installing diagonal windows ("look out, or they'll 'get' us") girl digs out extra room, keys on shelf, throwing tokens, change shirt, drink of water (dip whole cup?)

I'm a fireman? on a fire truck responding to an alarm, we enter a city and must wind our way in between buildings, I've been here I think, have to find the fire. Arrive at some building and get off and encounter a group of people moving incredibly heavy constructs made from cement/cinder blocks. They are building a prototype (vehicle?) from these blocks, and they're working on solving the problem of the large blocks slipping. Should I help them move? I don't.

I'm replacing keys and a small fob-like device on some shelf, I'm looking for the right place to put them, I see some keys and put them with the keys.

Some pranksters are throwing things at me? I go outside and dip my hand into a pouch by the door and pick up a handful of little stuffed-toy-animal-eyes (the sort where the 'pupil' moves inside a clear container) and throw them at the guys, they're amazed that I took it for so long without responding.

I have to take off and change my shirt.

I'm observing a small side-buidling, in one area two men workers are working on installing large glass windows that are diagonal with the top more outside and the bottoms more inside. If we're not careful they're "get us" and "even we [meaning the guys] are not safe." There are more girls in our group than guys. There is a small room to the right of the workmen's room, it's packed full of some material (crumpled up paper?), and a girl from our group enters this room and starts using her legs as a piston to clear out the room, compacting and clearing out the material. At some point the room is clear, I'm looking at it wondering if she's going to use the room for herself, she discovers me looking in the window into this room.

I'm in the clubhouse carrying a plastic cup approaching a big container of fresh water, I want a drink: should I just dip my whole cup into the water directly? (Is the cup clean?)

07:00 ? up for WBTB

go to kitchen, sit with cat, drink cup of milk and eat a small chunk of rye bread

07:45 ?) back to sleep

Feel deep wells of drowsiness, aim to sink deeply into it and fall asleep fast. I'm able to ignore sound disturbances and fall asleep.

+ bikini block party

I'm outdoors in daylight, one some typical suburban street. All the neighbors are out lounging around. In the middle of the street two girls are lying in bikinis on a very large picnic blanket that extents from the middle of the street up onto the sidewalk. The girls are lying on it in the middle of the street. They say something (but I forgot).

My wife and I are standing in front of a group of girls/woman in bikinis on their front lawn and sidewalk. Farther up the lawn is a very tanned (including the face) of a woman in a sexy black bikini, it's so tight that a camel-toe is very pronounced, and I sneak several peeks at this.

There are two girls at our feet in bikinis, one is on an air mattress, which starts to leak. Did we pop it? I get down on the ground and try to re-inflate it while the girl is still lying on it. I'm blowing into it but air is still escaping, there must be a leak. The 2nd girl is to the right and my right arm is rubbing firmly against her left leg (she's lying on her stomach) and I really enjoy this contact. The air-mattress girl gets up and I keep trying to inflate the mattress, I pat the mattress several times and it seems to me holding air now.

+ red quarterstaff

I'm in a room with a closet. I go to the closet and inside I see a big collection (10+) of "quarterstaffs" in tall leather holsters hanging there. They're all dark with one exception of a bright red one, I snort and say of COURSE I'll select the red one. These staffs have been placed here by (my patron? lover? Some male [ew!]). I take it out into the room and withdraw the staff from the holster. (It's more the size and shape of a Tae Kwon Do stick). At one end of the stick is a gel grip, I grab it and feel for the grip it gives. I notice the opposite side of the stick has a longer grip, it must be the base, I grab a hold of it and get an instant thrill of the sensation of the grip. It's not a gel grip, I notice it's some sort of luxurious fur, and run my finger in it and look closely at it for a few moments.

+ super hero costume leggings

I'm some house, super hero family?, the men need to go out and rescue some of the women(?), I say "bring me my costume" and a guy brings it to me and I start putting it on: it's knitted leggings/hose, of multiple colors like a rainbow. As I pull up the hose over my legs I start noticing imperfections and larger holes in the hose. These were supposed to be brand new! I mention the holes and the guy says "you should have checked them before putting them on."

+ terrifying train ride, fast food leftovers

I'm holding on to the left outside of a large train locomotive while it is moving forwards. The train track has a wall along the left side which is getting disturbingly closer to me, I may be squished! I'm trying to lean my head out farther to the left to look ahead to see if the wall opens up or closes more, but the train is going so fast and there are things jutting out from the wall so I dare not stick my head out and I hold tightly to the train while the wall closes in on me. The train reaches and intersection and stops and there is some director man on the ground, who starts criticizing the train engineer for stopping, my wife is the engineer. The guy says "distracted female driver is not paying attention!" my wife responds by immediately starting the train forwards again, I'm calling in a foreign language "Honey! …. Darling!" trying to catch her attention so I can climb in to the cab. She does not hear me.

I'm on top of the front of the train, slowly directing it along a very curvy path. A sharp left turn comes up, I see the two parallel tracks. I think we can make it if we go really slowly. We make it. We're trying to get back to the street. We approach a fast-food restaurant and I direct the train to drive through it?

I'm walking through the restaurant looking at the tables and the leftovers there. I see a very small mini-cat jump into the leftovers on a table and dig in eating vigorously. I walk by one table and notice it has a small cardboard box filled with one of the specials: a pile (dozens) of small circular meat patties piled deep in the box. Something like this:



+ shark slide hill inflatable ride

I'm riding up a large inflatable slide ride on some inflatable boat. It is a water ride. As we're nearing the top I get concerned about a shark attack. Our boat is near the left side of the water near the "hard ground" and I want to get off because it will be safe there. Right here on the shore in the water is a dangerous position. We right back down the slide, just about all the way to the bottom, and I think how are we going to get back up again?


+ (near miss) the video game that seemed so real (white bladed dagger & short sword, tools, dice, family's voices), touching chairs, digging out wall panels

Semi-lucid. I'm in an indoor location and I recognize that I am not in a waking/"real" environment. I'm amazed at how solid and real things look and feel, like the wooden knob on top of the back of a chair, I touch it and think it feel like waking. I rationalize the thoughts by imagining that I'm inside some ultra-realistic virtual reality video game. There are little cubbies against the wall, and a number of discolored places where I dig into and find items. I find a small white-bladed knife embedded in one of these wall holes and pull it out. I notice grates on the floor leading to passage ways below(?). I continue pulling out white-bladed devices: one has a very short blade, one is longer, and a third one which is an indeterminate device. I hang all 3 of them on my utility belt.

I hear the voices of family members (son S2), and I imagine they're just beyond the wall in the next room. I'm concerned that if they enter in my room that they will disturb this game experience and it will end. (Probably incorporating waking voices into the dream).

I'm back in the cubbies along the floor next to the wall finding things. I find a strange multi-faceted game die, 20-side I think, but it's more egg-shaped than spherical. I also find two normal cube-shaped 6-sided dice. I imagine I must roll these dice and the outcome will direct what I must do next in the game. I put these dice into my pockets which I think are getting quite full.


+ (f) meyer's lemon tree

First dream

I was a Liberal Crime Squad leader. Our goal was to take over the U.S government, and make each law liberal. I have gained more leaders that were responsible for recruitation and other operations. They recruited a few sleeper agents, and we started to build our safehouse. We've bought a press and started Liberal Guardian newspaper.

False Awakening - DILD

I woke up in my bed, and went straight to the bathroom. I thought Why It's so dark here? I tried to turn the light on, but the lightswitches haven't worked. Suddenly I realised that it's a false awakening. I did the nose plug RC and went back to kitchen. I thought Well, I've never reached the bathroom in a false awakening before. Tried to turn the kitchen lights on, but lightswitches still weren't working. I clapped my hands, and lightbulb blinked giving a little light. It stopped blinking when I stopped clapping my hands. I pointed my left hand at the light bulb, and made a gesture showing that I grab it. When I've finally got some light, I've lost lucidity, and it all went into a non lucid.

I was in the bathroom. I was taking a bathe in my t-shirt and underwear, while there were three more persons in the room. I finished taking a bath. My clothes were dry. I went to the living room. My siblings were there. I had to check something on younger sisters PC. I asked why it's turned off. They told me to turn it on. I did it and sat on a wheelchair. Suddenly my teacher arrived there and asked me Hey?! Are you sitting in a hotel room! No! I sat on a nearby sofa, and the teacher sat on a wheelchair. He told me that he has plugged his PC to our, and he had to do something on his PC first. Windows XP intialized. He had a picture of wood as a wallpaper (he's a forestry teacher). I went outside with a wooden piece in my hands. I was hiding it, as if it was something I wasn't supposed to see or have. I went back to home and thought I have my own laptop, why have I wanted to use sisters PC? Dream faded to darkness and I woke up after a while.

This started as though i was playing a game on the computer. One of those 2d 'Destroy the Castle' type games. Through lovely dream magic, it somehow became 3d as I played, then completely changed genres to an MMO and finally became 'real'. For some reason, myself and two others needed to kill a small bird monster and use it as bait to lure out a large one. Oddly enough, this required taking the dead monster down into a labyrinthine tunnel/cave system. As we were traversing the system, the floor collapsed and we fell quite a distance. One of my companions, a rather short guy wearing elaborate robes and a crystalline staff, fell near me. Our other companion, a woman who appeared in her early-mid thirties, who wore garb similar to the man though carried a sword, landed on a level twenty or so meters above. I could not see anything after I landed and was panicking. I felt that I had to return to the surface immediately so I was trying to feel my way around, yet I had a constant fear of falling off an unseen ledge. Both of my companions produced lights and I calmed down. With no way to reach each other, our other companion nodded a farewell and sought her own way out while the guy and myself searched around our level for an exit. The only apparent way to go, besides an ominous looking drop some distance away, was an old stone stairway leading down and slightly angled to the side.

There was a bit of a gap here but I recall yet another maze of stairs and narrow, irregular, hallways. Something happened in there which I don't recall, but I found myself running towards a ledge and skidding to a stop just before plunging off the side. Two creatures, shadowlike in appearance, were not as quick to stop and slid off into the dark. I turned and, gesturing towards the opening I had come from, forced the stone surrounding it to cave inwards, catching one more of the creatures before it could get out. My companion made it out, but I was not happy. At some point during the portion I had forgotten, something must have happened, for he now was trying to attack me. I noticed that he had the same kind of aura as the creatures. I had no weapons, and whatever abilities I had used on the opening did not appear to affect him much. He swung his staff and I was hit by a gust of air knocked past the edge. I grabbed on and, as he was approaching, thought to myself "This can't be happening." following that, I had the feeling something wasn't right. With my hands rather occupied trying to keep me from falling to my death, I went for an alternative RC and tried to fly. That failed, but, knowing that I've never managed to do well at that to begin with, I tried another. Suddenly there was a rather convenient ledge at my feet to stand on. "I'm dreaming." I said. Then, to further test it, I had the ledge move up to become level with the floor. I had it, lucid in a dream. Noticing my former companion waiting rather patiently I decided to have some fun with a magic duel. Things were going well for all of three exchanges of spells and counterspells. Then a new, doglike shadow creature dropped from above, landing in front of me. I panicked and lost any sense of being in a dream as I noticed several of them crawling on the walls. Not really sure how I got out of there, but I ran and found myself near the original entrance we had used when first entering the place.

Waiting for me was the woman who had headed out earlier, she was with a group of five or so others, all preparing to fight a giant birdlike monster that was flying towards us. I had forgotten about the entire thing during my time underground but remembered when I saw it. I don't really remember what happened, but I know I was killed during the fight. I 'respawned' a distance away and was annoyed at the need to travel back to the area. I arrived too late it seemed and had to once again lure out the thing, this time though, for some reason I considered an alternative and befriended the smaller birdlike monster by sharing, of all things, coffee with it. It joined my party and we went adventuring for a while. I don't recall the details.

We ended up in an odd city. A mixture of modern urban and high fantasy architecture. Skyscrapers nestled in with waterfalls, narrow walkways, small fantasy style houses, and the epic scaled buildings common in the fantasy genre. We were just leaving a coffee shop (Odd combo of modern exterior and medieval fantasy interior) when my bird companion was captured by a group seeking to lure out the large monster and I had to catch them before they could get there and kill my new friend. I ended up with the woman from earlier, along with two younger women, three guys, and an odd talking fox (who seems to have played no role as it vanished after the initial scene of setting out). I'm not sure what happened, but myself and four others ended up being knocked off the top of a skyscraper and landed in a lake below. I remember the fall being very vivid, I can still recall the sound and feel clearly. I was simultaneously terrified and thrilled and I do believe I was laughing near the end of it. I hit the water and was disoriented for a moment before finding my way to the surface. I was with two others then, I'm not sure what happened to everyone else. We saw my bird friend being dragged away across a bridge far ahead and above us (how I could see that far I've no idea). I was dismayed, but the two people with me laughed and handed me some odd balloon/propeller contraption with a long cord attached to a pair of wings with a harness. The wings were made of dozens of overlapping, every light and thin metallic plates. I'm not sure how I got the thing on, but I did and we were suddenly trying to get airborne with them, being pulled by the propeller and balloon floating in front of us. The two women were out of the water and away quickly, ditching the propellers once they were up to speed. After several attempts, I was finally pulled free of the water and airborne. As I got up to speed, I also ditched the propeller and caught up with the other two. Just as I was beginning to feel thrilled about flying, my alarm went off.

I was on a bed, lying down beside a guy. I was lying on my left side and he's behind me. I let him put his arms around me. He seems younger than me. I think we were the only ones in that room. The room is a bit unfamiliar. It looks more like some random movie room of some teenage guy. It also looks blurry.

I went to bed really late last night so it's not surprising to me that I only got two fragments. I really need to buckle down for this competition now that I have a dare. Thanks Percy for daring me and I will try my absolute best to get the dare done.

Non-Lucid
Questioning
Lucid

Fragment:
I am playing a video game with one of my friends, it is a stealth game and we are hiding in some bushes while a searchlight passes over our heads. My friend asks me if any shade counts as being hidden and I answer yes. His character moves to a sign and crouches in the shade, the searchlight passes right over him and does not react.

Short Dream:
I am in an empty dam with a random DC, he seems to be putting some explosives at the dam wall, I realise that the other side is completely filled with water. He puts the last of the explosives down and tells me to start running. We both begin to run to a ladder that is about 50 meters away from us. He reaches is first and as we begin to climb I hear an explosion and the sound of water. I try to climb faster but the wall of water reaches us before we get to the top. I feel myself being pushed agaisnt a wall while holding my breath. My view goes black and the dream ends.

Not too much this time but now that I am back from holidays I expect to get a lot more dreaming done. Thanks again Percy for the dare and I hope I'll be able to complete it for you.

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

I'm playing go with an old friend, and off to my left there's a woman who's thanking me on her hands and knees. I've just told her about the arrangements I've made to get her and her unborn child out of their current situation. I'm looking at the board, not at her, waiting for my friend to make his move - I'm smiling throughout this scene, since it irritates my friend. I haven't looked at the woman throughout the conversation. This was business, although I did take a personal interest since the father wasn't human. As she starts to leave, I tell her I'd like to see the child when it's born. Take it to a specific temple - I don't mention this last part, but there's a particular fox demon who lives behind that temple, a relative of mine, and I think he would take an interest in the child.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

The spirit of a certain man has been released and possessed someone, and since I and a friend of mine are the ones who bound him in the first place, a woman's asking me how we managed it the first time. I'm telling her it won't work again - we were relying on his trust in us. We prepared a meal and my friend put sleeping drugs in his soup. Scene changes to show that night - the three of us are having a casual conversation. I'm arguing against some point he's just made, and to illustrate my point, I compare it to chess players - although the point of the game is to defeat your opponent, it doesn't follow that a chess player would hate everyone else who plays chess, just because they intend to defeat them.

Date: 1/25/2015
Method: MILD, Mantra
Total Sleep time: 8 hours

All I remember is something about a butterfly...yeah, that's it.

I arrive at a large tan colored warehouse building. There is a high chain-link fence around its perimeter. Inside the fence is a paved area all around the building. I am on a bike or motorcycle? I notice several small green peacocks strutting around. I admire them and think they are quite beautiful. One takes notice of me and starts coming in my direction, after just a moment I can tell its pissed off. I notice another heading my way, and then more. I get my vehicle moving faster and they start to fly, swooping in toward me, I'm scared, their beaks look very sharp. I am surprised by Their speed. I make it to the warehouse enter able and there are some other people standing around. The dream shifts and I am riding passenger in my new car, an old friend is driving I warn him to slow down and he looses control, Narrowly missing a series of deadly obstacles, fire hydrants, trees, and parked cars. We are off road and the car is sliding and spinning full rotations. It comes to a stop on railroad tracks. I look out the back window and see a train coming. I warn my friend and he pulls of the tracks just in time. The train is red and silver, a passenger train.

Fragment 1: a girl I knew from high school is at my house conducting a survey or completing some report. I consider asking her out?, but notice huge diamond rings on every finger. I assume she is married.

Fragment 2: another new car dream. I spin a complete 360 and come to a graceful stop at the top of my driveway
