non-lucid

Im playin a arkham city type game where I am Bruce wayne dressed up in a straight-jacket that looks like a batman costume.Im also really short.I am in a cave with metal platforms on the ceiling suspended with chains.The platforms are suspended in such a way that they go downwards so i jump on each one,beating up bad guys on the way,until i get to a biger platform that is not illuminated by any lights and out of nowhere, two players appear on the other side.They are talking through their microphones and appear to be female.Out of nowhere they attack me and start beating me up and calling me names,so i run back upwards using the prior platforms untill i get to the one i started on.They are no longer following me.Due to being bored of playing this i decide to see if i can play Halo 2 on my pc.The disc is a console version but it worked and i am OVERJOYED that it did.I called over M to play some 1on1 MP with me.We loaded up a map that is kind of like the map Coagulation accept that it is really small and has a hill in the middle.The camera is in third person the whole time as if we are watching an episode of RvB.

I see Mace Windu walking around while clones are fighting in the background,the collour palette reminds me of the battle in Ep. 3 where Obi Wan almost died.While walking under some arches he runs into Kit Fisto who is waiting on a ledge above him and,consequently jumps down to confront Windu.His facial expression is filled with anger.They begin to fight but the way they are fighting seems very stiff and poorly coreographed,they repeat alot of the same moves.Flashback.Windu once went to Fistos homeworld to help.He arrives there and goes underwater to talk with the representatives who look like sea sluggs.They talk back and forth and it turns out that they are mad that Windu took so long to arrive so they attack him and his troopers.I am not sure if Windu had a rebreather in the flashback.They continue fighting for a while.Back to the "present",Windu and Kit are still fighting.

At home in what i identify as my room.Sitting at the end of a big double bed.The room is dark and only illuminated by the TV which is in front of me.I am playing a video game on it.My sister and her friend come in the room,my sister says that she needs the PC and that i should move.I go to a small room inside the wall to my left where there are 2 PCs.One is black and new and the other is really old and a very pale yellow collor.Almost grey.I sit in front of the new one,while my sisters friend(who is taller then both of us,i never saw her face),sits in front of the old one.While we are geting situated,my sister starts talking something about pills,and because i didnt know who she was talking to i respond as well,which resulted in about 30 seconds of complete confusion utill i stoped it and asked her who she was talking to.She says she was talking to her friend and i go sit in front of the pc to play minecraft.Her friend turned on the other pc and U-torrent poped up and started playing a video randomly.I am also confused but too lazy to help her close the thing while i wait for my pc to start up.I open minecraft.Then mom walks in the room and asks me and my sister if we liked the food she made.We both say yes.Flashback to what moms food looked like.Green peppers filled with meat in a brown-red sauce.Image of my sister almost throwing away the sauce because she thought it wasnt edible,but mom stoped her.Back to me playing minecraft.Walking around looking for resources(lighting is fucked up,cave systems arent as dark as they should be).I run into a part that is full of iron and cole all over the walls and go deeper.I find a giant Nether portal between two rock faces with a smaller one in its lower left corner.I believe that i dont have anything to light it with so i continue through the cave system to find flint and steel.While exploring,i find another smaller portal and notice that i have some kind of fire thing in my inventory and place it in the portal.It activates and spawns a pair of purple pipes on each side that lead away from the portal.I am confused but decided to continue through the portal.
I spawn inside a world thats full of water and it is ALLWAYS night time.There is no return portal.I notice that the water is populated with some kind of purple whale things with human faces.I freak out intensely because it all looks so weird.For some reason i think that my sister is behind it and the POV snaps away from the screen and back to me.I turn and yell at her.She laughs,it must be her fault.POV snaps back.I keep running around,trying to find a way out while still somehow above the water,trying not to get hit by the whales.After a couple of minutes of running i became less frightened by the whales,but they were still freaky.

My dream starts out with me as a mermaid (?) urgently swimming away from captors on boats. My hands have been cut off in torture sessions; leaving only stumps in their place. But even with this obvious handicap, I am moving at an amazing speed. My captors have no gender to identify and they dressed their faces with black cloth, leaving only their glowing yellow eyes to peer out. I had no doubt that those eyes had the ability to see through the deep, dark water––that they had the ability to see me. That thought alone made me want to vomit.

There was probably more, but that's all I remember.

7:00 AM-first wake

Cant remember first half of this dream. Lost it when i started moving around.

Me, my friend jacob, and some girl were modern day assassins that had a job to carry out. We were supposed to kill a group of people but we did not know where they were hiding until one day we heard one of the targets accidentally give up their location on a live news broscast. He said where they were and the camera stream changed to ine in a helicooter circling the building. We could see that it was night out. They were on a big sky scraper tower roof top to start but started moving as soon as they knew we were coming but we were faster. So we went to the tower and was in a room just for the elevator. All the walls were concrete all the way around in the tall room. But a big security force surrounded this elevator. I walked up to the police and talked to them for a while and randomly they decided to leave, and let us take our targets. The elevator came from the bottom up slowly and it was a steel cage that you could see in no problem, like a miners elevator. First guy comes up, gets shot, second guy comes up with a metal mask and gets shot, third target was an old lady, i leaned over the elevator shaft looking down on the elevator, raised my colt 1911 and shot her right in the head and bam, red ring around the wall where her head was. Then the elevator disappeared and the lights went out, but light from flares were still on. and the last guy came up a rope/steel ladder but we did not shoot this guy. We helped him up when the girl with us questioned why he still looked the same after 50 years of being chased by us. I also found it very weird that when he let go of the rope that was not tied to anything, it did not fall.

Back to sleep

9:50 AM

I had a few fragments but i cant remember all of them

Fragment: I am at some swimming pool. There is a large bay out in front of me with a gorgeous skyline across the way. I jump off the side of the pool, do a flip, then jump off of the opposing side into the water.

Fragment: I am partially lucid attempting the advanced TOTM, to go to another planet. I go outside into a meadow surrounded by trees. I attempt to manifest a spaceship but only manage create a small rocket motor about the size of my hand. I start the engine and it flies out of my hand, circles around in the sky above me about one and a half times, then explodes.

Yes, that stands for "Toilet Induced Lucid Dreaming"

These were rather subtle. I nearly missed them until I realized I was actually experiencing it and it was a dream.

- At work, a young guy Anthony is put in charge of supervising my work. He lets me do whatever I want, which is nice, because neither he nor the store manager really know what needs to be done anyway. The store manager returns later, and is unhappy with what I've done. She is always unhappy with everything everyone does, so this is to be expected. She yells at Anthony, and then he passes along the changes I have to make telling me, "I took the first one for you, the next time, I won't be able to keep her from yelling at you"

- I'm operating a fork lift, and do wheelies with it, getting the tines completely vertical.

Dream 1

I went McDonalds (again) with my Dad, brother and sister. We bought our food and took it outside, as I was walking outside my sister knocked all of my food out of my hands. I was still hungry so I went back in to just get a large fries. The I was packing my clothes to go skiiing, I ad goggles, socks etc. Then the scene changed again, a woman was outside a house and she had a suitcase, she looked about 80, inside the suitcase she had rotting watermelons and tennis balls, my dad said she didn't want them and threw them away she wasn't happy. The scene change again, my dad was speaking to my friends dad about work, then my brother ate all of my chocolate and I wasn't happy.

Dream 2

I went skydiving on myself, I remember landing and it was a good landing, I timed everything perfectly. As I landed I seen a guy trying to land he was spinning and all sorts, in the end he lost control and went flying over some hedges, me and my mum went running after him. That's the last I remember

I'm going to prom with a group of people and a date that I do not know. I have either forgotten this girl's name, or do not remember it. She has frizzy blonde hair and heavy makeup.
At prom (in the school) I ask a guy what her name is. He go gives me a look that tells me im going to be in trouble, but then reveals her name: Turquoise.
Amongst all the people, I see an ex-girlfriend and her friend. My sight lingers on them, but I soon tear it away.
We all dance, jumping up and down. I cannot hear any music.

I'm outdoors at some type of plaza. There's lots of stone and lush green trees. There are about 6 'lanes' separated by stone walls. At the far end of each, there is a wrought iron gate.
My manager is here and she's having me count a 'drawer'. All the money is In the lane, like it is a register. All the money is wrapped coins. It seems like there has to be at least 30 of each.
For some reason I leave the 'drawer' and talk to my dad who has shown up.
I come back and my manager is mad that I left the money. I try to explain that he always talks and distracts me.

-The ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel Air’ show was on again. The dad had lost weight and it was mentioned more than once how he’s changed, wasn’t surly anywhere, was cleaned up. Carlton’s voice was kind of high-pitched.

Inspiration: Not sure, haven’t seen it on lately and I never watched it myself.

-Something about fishing and losing against someone else.

Inspiration: Parents just went fishing, maybe that’s why. Fiiish. *q*

-I’m getting a hamster (maybe for someone?). The owner guy directs me to a line and tells me that if I’m brave enough to get some bedding from the dirty cage the person in front of me is holding, I can have one.

Seeing the way I’m looking at it, someone hands me some bedding and I present the toy (yep, it changed). I think that ‘isn’t water more important’?

I’m looking at the hamsters, and they’re gray and all have differently shaped heads, like a hippopotamus and a wolf. :O

Inspiration: Took my sister’s over to her new place recently.

Dream 1
Recorded at 5:30 - 6am

Im watching a fight between Marcus Brimage and Connor McGregor. Connor wins the fight and Renzo Gracie who is in Connors corner, puts Marcus on his shoulders to celebrate a good fight between the two. Marcus looks different and is now white skinned and struggles to keep his balance.

We arrive at a house and we are all still together and Marcus is still on Renzo's shoulders.

Dream 2

Im walking inside my home towns main shopping centre by myself. I see someone I know in the distance and try say hi and leave it at that. I shake his hand and decide to have a chat instead. I mention about trying to find Daryl.

Dream 3
Recorded at 8:45am

Im with Kayley and her Mum. I notice that one of us has left the door open and probably let the cat outside. We're worried because we're in a new house and the cats haven't been out side since we've moved house. To make matters worse, it was night time and trying to find her would be trouble.

In the middle of the shed there's a storage closet. I check inside and see that the cat is laying in there. I accidentally leave the garage door open and the cat runs out the front. I'm worried she is going to run away but she comes to a halt across the road. I somehow get her back inside the garage.

Kayley walks into the garage and I tell Kayley about the situation. She said that the neighbour saw the cat on her lawn moment ago. I told her that the cat was inside the whole time and i had let her out accidentally shortly after finding her.

Date: 8 July

Wbtb time but I feel so tired, decide to have 1/3 latte nevertheless and do the wrong wbtb - straight into bed. A few mantras but I know this will lead to no lds as I feel super sleepy. I quickly fall asleep and guiltily wake up couple of times to confirm this is the case but am too lazy to wake up more. I decide to experiment with the third eye as a focus point to see if this increases my wakefulness and focus for an ld. Not really increase in wakefulness but it did serve as a sort of anchor.

LD: The dream starts as I find myself staring at some furniture, while still in sleepying position. One of those moments where you are not sure you are quite in and I concentrate more on the forehead point to get a better grip of the dream, then a bit later start moving my hands, etc. In the beginning I'm gently floating and spinning, it's not unpleasant. I want to make sure that have fully transitioned to this dream.

I think shortly of the location and wonder whether to do a direct teleport but decide against it. I get up, it's grandma's kitchen and for some reason I decide to take the stairs to go outside. I open the door with tk and also close it and lock it with my mind. It's almost as I could feel grandma's presence doing that. I get down the stairs and tk open the locked building door to get out. As I'm on the street I have a moment of excitement and tk lift a car in the air. Also do very short skateboarding down the street slightly above the ground.

My mind is very blurry as I try to remember any tasks for the totm. I recall the DV goal and look around to see if Sensei might be nearby. There's an older teenage boy on a bike with a slightly longer hair that could do. But let me try to get Sensei here. It's a whole street full of DCs so one of them has to be him. I concentrate and think about Sensei, turn to the side in the opposite direction and to my surprise there he is - tall with browish hair, etc. He smiles happily.

We go up the street which turns into a gray building and I decide we will be learning superpowers. I feel that instead of me doing all the controling as in tk, I should try to give the DC more free will and let it demonstrate super powers, while I'm just saying what we are about to do. There is a a pencil like object and I throw it in the air, trying not to hold it with my mind and say that BB should try to lift the object. Before he can react, it falls on the floor.

"Ok, maybe you can demonstrate fire magic instead", I hint. Sensei takes the initiative and produces a large peach colored napkin, unfolds it, throws it in the air and tries to blow in its direction. I now understand what trick he had in mind, he was going to ignite the whole paper with his breath. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen and the object just remains in the air for a while. I feel a bit guilty because maybe I have sabotaged the demonstration by being slow to understand the procedure and didn't put my expectation into it. I'm saying something mid-sentence when the dream abruptly comes to an end.

Non-ld: I have an earlier non-ld where BB is on some other platform online and has organized a dream game where we have to gather pieces of a puzzle.

Zombie horse Holdout:

Two people, a man and a woman are running from a stampede of zombie horses. They get behind a large boulder to prepare for the final confrontation. The man plants himself on the opposite side of the boulder from the charge, and the woman stands just around the corner from where the horses will pour out. as they round the corner, she starts firing lasers from her fingers, blowing the horses to smithereens as she charges up an her ultimate attack. just before it's ready, a female vampire sneaks up behind her. it's fangs glint and it pounces. however the woman is prepared, she turns and fires off everything she's charged up so far, catching the vampire under the chin in an explosive uppercut beam. the dream ends

Dark bookstore:

I am in a bookstore/shop that is in my hometown. I am looking for a book that sounds interesting. as I search the shelves, the lighting gets progressively darker and more sinister. However I don't notice the change. I find a book, but the store owner wants 20 dollars. I think this is a bit much, so I try to negotiate, 15 or 16 dollars? still a bit much in my mind, but I don't want to undercut him too much. then I see a computer. I pick it up and try to look it over in the dark. I see a strange logo that looks like a sigil/rune, but I can't quite make it out in the dark. I try to find some better light, walking towards the entrance as I do so. I start to see it a little bit better, but I ultimately decide it's too dark. The dream shifts

Tower tales and treats:

The bookstore becomes a tower, I am wandering an edge high up on the inside of the structure. there is enough room to navigate, but it is a bit cramped, as I could fall quite a ways if I wasn't careful and stopped paying attention. The tower is telling a kind of story. there are objects strewn around the floor I walk on. It involves runes, vampire dust in a big transparent plastic candy cane, an old man who is a veteran of a war, among other things I don't quite remember. at the end of the narrative there is a rickety looking extension that leads to a plate of tasty looking deserts. needless to say, I go straight for them. after I have a couple, I hear someone say there are cupcakes with edible wrappers back where I came from. I make a mad dash for them, almost jostling someone who is trying to make it to the first set of treats. I stuff a chocolate cupcake with a crunch chocolate shell into my mouth. It was delicious.

Vampire shopkeepers/horse-keepers:

From a third-person perspective, I observe a "family" of vampires keep a bookstore. They have zombie horses that seem to keep eating each-other's flesh. the vampires keep trying to dissuade the horses from doing so, and fixing up the one's who have their flesh eaten off

7/9/14

Last night, bed at 12 - 6:37 WBTB 6:37 - 8

Got up at 8:20 to pee, all surprised that only 20 min had passed, and I was so relaxed and on the verge of lucid.

Woke up at 10:40

Was thinking about TOTM - eat lots of junk food, taking an elevator, going to another planet

Didn't get lucid, but got a nice dream with Ophelia.

DR:

I'm on my sofa, WILDing. I feel my head, and I'm almost lucid. Ophelia is standing at the foot of the sofa and asking me if I wanna go out. I lift my arm and I watch with curiosity if it actually lifts up, or my dream arm will - and I'm telling her with great effort (coz I should not be able to talk by now) that I'm >-< this close to be lucid.

She sits by the sofa and tells me that we could go and look at the shops, or just hang out. And I'm like "hell, I can't pass on hanging out with Ophelia". Then she leans over me and hugs me, holds my hand, and I'm thinking "shit, if somebody walks in, they will think something else". There is no way I'm gonna tell her to stop, but I say "hey, my dad just came home" and hoping she will get it. Then a guest came to the house and he is opening the glass door to room that we are in. But his head is turned away as he is talking to people behind him. I think we dodged the bullet.

Last night once again I had to lay awake, staring at the ceiling for 2 hours before I pretty much passed out from boredom. This problem started with the beginning of the vacation and I decided to take a step back and evaluate myself and my sleeping-shedule, there must be a reason, I'm not a natural insomniac.

After some thinking I found out that it actually makes sense, even time I'm awake in bed fits perfectly. You see an average human's day is 16 hours of being awake followed by 8 hours of sleep. I on the other hand wake up around 10-11 in the morning while it's vacation which means if we at 16 hours of being awake like normal I should naturally need sleep around 2-3 in the night, which is when I fall asleep now. It is time to break this chain and drasticly change my sleeping-shedule, from now on I'll get up in the morning around 8-9 and my WBTB-alarm will be set around 5-6 in the morning. I expect this will solve my insomnia problem but also help me with Lucid dreaming as the earlier my WBTB-alarm is set, the darker it'll be outside and the less awake I'll be.

Anyway, enough talking you're here for the dreams and you'll get them!

1. Contract killers

I'm with my dad in an army jeep that has an open roof, I'm driving however there isn't a steering wheel but I turn the car by twisting large buttons. We drive on a road with trees on both sides and it's sunny, after several minutes of some talking I pass a lorry and speed up a bit. Then I notice a small projectile for a split second infront of the car that hits the motor, I didn't worry too much but then another projectile barely passed my head, I knew it were bullets! I shout to my dad "GET DOWN!", after quickly scanning the houses 150 meters down the road I spotted a sniper with a white rifle in a small window on the third floor. After seeing another muzzle flash I duck down, the bullets hits the windshield and cracks the glass. I look back thinking he must reload now but see that there are actually 3 snipers in the same window who shoot constantly. I quickly turn the car 180° and put the pedal on the metal. Some bullets fly past us or hit the car but then I realise I'm drifting to the left, the lorry quickly aproaches and I can't prevent a collision but then I notice how the wheels of the lorry are extremely high. So high that I'm able to drive under the lorry, we do have to duck because it is still very narrow. Then I manage to drive the car back on the right side of the road using the large button and we drive further.

2. The 'Wut?' game

I'm playing a game, I look down on an 8-bit looking castle and see a pixilated king sitting in his throne, then I designate the wooden floor to be replaced with stone which pleases the king. Suddenly a message pops up asking if I want to accept 'Absolute crown authority' and I accept. Suddenly I'm in First-Person mode and in the castle's dungeons, I'm fighting a large man who's really good at wrestling. After a heavy fight someone else holds the other guy and I break his foot using a piece of wood... Oh yeah and I'm James Bond.

3. Independence!

I'm walking around in a town and people are doing their normal stuff, I get up on a train where I find some of my friends. We talk about the year and I ask if some people had to do previous year over, he said "Yeah, Michel and Dimi didn't make it.", I respond "Oh yeah, Michel ... Krastofska?", I try saying their family names which are Russian IRL but I forgot them. I ask someone else what they're doing on the train and he responds saying that they're going on a vacation, I wish them the best and get of the train. After walking through the towncenter I feel really independant, like I don't need someone to lead me or tell me which path to follow. I'm not stressed and decide to take a train home, after some time I'm walking in my home town and my mother welcomes me.

4. The spiral staircase

This dream is directly connected to previous dream but I think it is another chapter you could say. After meeting my mother I take the street on the right while my house is in the street on the left, I enter a random building and stand in a room that doesn't have a lot in it, there isn't even a stair to the upper floor. I see a spiral staircase leading down in the middle of the room. I look down and guess it's maybe 20 meters deep, I go down and at the bottom is a small room with pixilly bookcases against the walls, a table with a lite candle and a bed on a 45° angle which also looks very pixilly. I get in the bed and I'm able to look up the spiral staircase, then I think about how creepy it would be if a demon or something would look over the edge down on me...

Holding green onions, examining them and separating the freshest ones from the older bunches.
