non-lucid

As Kang Chi in modern times, I meet Yeo Wool. She remembers me. We're both shocked. I have a false awakening in which I try to tell IRL friend S. about that dream, and then go on to a few IRL-based scenes - trying to find a place to park in NYC, and trying to form words out of a jumble of letters.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

In the past. Kang Chi and Yeo Wool are meeting up in this hut in the mountains outside of town. They have to separate, and they're being very loudly upset about it. It's just before dawn, and as a 3rd person observer, I'm thinking they must be waking people up in town, they're so loud.

Kang Chi's lying on his back in that town at night, looking up at the full moon. It looks massive, taking up most of my field of vision. He's meant to be meeting Yeo Wool soon and traveling somewhere together, but he's convinced himself she won't come anyway - there's something that's happened between them or something she's involved in that's on his mind, but he's not thinking about it directly. He's talking to himself out loud, convincing himself that she won't come and he should just leave on his own.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

Kang Chi's delirious, standing outside somewhere on the edge of that same town and calling for someone he calls brother - not a literal brother. Yeo Wool's trying to get him to move, but as he starts talking like this, she remembers a time in the past when they were in trouble in this same place and Wol Ryung had helped them. He and Kang Chi had called each other brother sometimes - it's partially a reference to being the same species, and partially acknowledging each other as close while sidestepping the complicated family issue. So she realizes that, delirious, Kang Chi's calling Wol Ryung for help. Wol Ryung's dead.

Kang Chi and Yeo Wool are traveling together in a very distant place. Yeo Wool's wearing modern clothes - no one else is. They're surrounded by soldiers carrying spears and a froglike nobleman on horseback - not a human being. The two of them raise daggers to their own throats, threatening to kill themselves rather than let the froglike man capture them alive.

As Kang Chi, I'm outside and looking through a window at Yeo Wool. There's a luna moth on the window.

And then two IRL-based scenes - catching and releasing an insect, and a visit from an IRL sister's friend.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

In modern times, Kang Chi's at a studio where they're filming a movie or a show, and a woman is talking to him, sounding very irritated. Without naming any names, she makes it clear there's been rumors going around about someone who works here being viewed as violent, potentially dangerous. Kang Chi's thinking this is about Yeo Wool - she's recently become nonhuman, and the adjustment period can be rough. Which makes this his responsibility. Without specifically naming names, Kang Chi tries to get the woman to confirm that it's Yeo Wool she's talking about. But Yeo Wool's just appeared at the end of the hall, and the woman says to ask her himself and stalks off.

And then an IRL-based scene involving studying Agamemnon.

1. I was in some sort of video game and the time was a prequel to halo. In the dream I was flying a huge ship and multiple ships were trying to destroy me, but multiple ships were also friendly, so it seemed an equal fight. I had the biggest ship and it resembled am oval shape and was roughly the size of 20 foot ball fields(estimated guess). It was indeed a big ship. When i got into the firefight all of the other friendly ships were being shot down. Just then 3/4ths of my ship was destroyed and I was left flying it just trying to survive. A hostile enemy ship was continuously firing at me, so i went full speed to try to get out of its range. Some time later I lost all the hostile dudes and was contacted by NASA/ USMC space department and they told me since I made it out first with my ship and I was alive that I needed to come to space, into their territory and there were going to give me a gift. A big gift. Me and my crew all had suspicions that the gift would be some type of ship. Immediately I knew that this ship was the Pillar of Autumn.

2. In a school. I was sitting down next to one of my good friends(Ronald I think) when I decided to get up and go get something. When I returned to my seat some dude was in it. He had blonde hair and was a little bigger than I was. I told him, "Hey you're in my seat. Get out of my seat." and he got really angry and told me about how this was his seat and that I wasnt in it, all that stuff. Soon I decided it wasnt worth it and told him to, "chill, it doesnt matter anymore." But he didnt stop and he got even more furious. He got up out of the seat ready to fight me. Ready to beat this guy's ass in I got up and grabbed a desk ready to beat his head in. The students in the class tried to block the fight by putting other desks in our path so we couldnt reach each other. I tried to get to him but with a desk in my hand I found that jumping over stuff was a bit harder. Soon the teacher came in the class(From who knows where) and separated us. I wasnt going to hurt anyone else who wasnt involved so I cooled off while Jerry( The guy who snapped) was in the other corner. As I walked away (to get out of the class I presume) I heard the students saying about how they thought I was just a normal boy, and then my friend Julia said, "No they've always been real men", in a serious tone referring to me and Jerry. I became a little uplifted with that.

3. I was some sort of huge warehouse looking building when I was with a group of people that were assigned to me. We were playing all these types of games and doing stuff together. In my group I remember having 3 people I knew in real life, Tyler, Riley, and Hailey. At one point we had just finished playing pool and an announcer got on the com and told us to return the pool sticks to where they where stored. Me and my group walked over to the pool storage place and realized that we were simply just playing pool with long, gray pencils. And to put them in storage we had to put those pencils back in their tubes. The storage room had a tunnel space where you would put the pencils, and it led to the outside of the building where a manager was watching us put away our pencils. At the end of that tunnel was some dude that had been hitting on Riley since the beginning of the dream. She didnt have the same feelings so she ignored him. While I walked to the tunnel my friend Tyler started some conflict with me saying he could beat me up and what not. I said, "Ok Tyler since you think you're so tough lets fight, right here, right now". And he said I didnt stand a chance and I laughed. We never fought however, but as I returned to walk to the tunnel I noticed that Tyler had a gray mustache and beard, but his facial hair wasnt full and it looked as though somebody had just drawn it on. I thought nothing of it. As I started putting the pencils away I heard the announcer say we only had 8 seconds left to put our supplies away. I started going faster but I couldnt find any more tubes to put the pencils in so I just gave up and went back to my group. They were all sitting down at a table, so I sat down as well. I talked to Hailey about some girl and stuff. Dont remember much more.

I dreamed that my aunt decided that my grandparents needed a new house, so while they were all out in town, she had their old house demolished and a new one built in its place. It was an incredibly fancy and stylish Frank Lloyd Wright style home, and my grandparents really liked it.

Then I was walking down a dirt road next to some woods. there was a small group of guys walking in front of me. One of them had a pie, and all the rest wanted a piece. But the guy refused to give them any. When they became increasingly insistent on having some, he shot off off into the woods next to the road and disappeared.

Then the grown-up Andy from Toy Story 3 was wanted to be the starring character in a new soap opera. He declined the role, much to everyone's disappointment. He was in sort of an apartment complex. As he left the meeting with the soap opera people, he walked past the open door of a day care. A young toddler was sort of crawling out the door, and as Andy walked past, it sort of reached out its arms and gave a small cry of want and desire. As if it really wanted him to star in the soap opera. But somehow the toddler's actions touched my heart, and I started crying really hard. I cried and cried as I followed Andy.

Andy went up a long flight of stairs into the upper level of the apartment. He got to the top and went inside a door. I could see him through a window. His grandmother appeared and gave him an after-dinner mint, and anxiously asked where his sister was.

There were two VFX companies that were widely renowned for their superb visuals. To everyone's surprise, the two companies decided to merge and become one huge amazing company. I dreamed they made a commercial for their new company, and I was somehow in it. All the famous characters from their previous films came flying out of the sun and collided with the other company's characters. The result was an awesome explosion with lens flares and lots of glamour. (Yes, as a filmmaker, I'm into visual effects companies. :p)

Then I dreamed about the opening scenes of the Hunger Games. (I've never seen the film, by the way.) I dreamed that Katniss's father was an alcoholic man who made beer off in the woods in a trailer. She was selected for the Hunger Games. The judges told her to go off into the woods and get ready. She went away.

What followed was a beautiful ethreal sequence. Strange long women in bright colored dresses wove in and out of sunlit trees, singing low. They swayed back and forth, like the women were made of rope. I dreamed Katniss was there, and was bathing in a spring. It was embarrassing. Suddenly, a horn blew in the distance and she looked up anxiously. It was time to get back to head quarters, and she had taken too long.

Then it was several days later. Katniss had just completed a task, and for some reason she needed information from a spy. So she and a judge went off on a rainy evening to find him. The spy was literally a mole. He lived underground, and all you could see of him was his head, because they had dug away the earth around it so they could talk with him. Katniss needed information, but the spy was reluctant to give it to her. She got increasingly stern with him, and he enigmatically replied, "But this was our first breakup! Not even your precious boyfriend survived the last task!" But at last he relented and gave her a reel-to-reel recording.

Katniss went off and tried to decipher the message, but she couldn't because the recording was of a person speaking "in the language of trees".

Literally dripping with sweat, wearing a sweat soaked T-Shirt, I am stocking the dairy cooler at work. I feel ridiculously warm, but also much relief from grabbing cold cartons of milk and other items. Feeling the wet condensation on the bottles, I let it cool me down as I work. I notice there is an attractive co-worker nearby working in the produce section. It's hard not to notice her, and I am aware of her presence. Mostly just enjoying her company, I try to fit everything from the cart into the coolers in the appropriate spot.

Waking up, it is 95 degrees F (35C) in my room and I am literally dripping with sweat... It was nicer in the dream working with the coolers.

Noticing pain in my hand, I look closer and see a splinter in my thumb. As I hold my hand, I also notice a splinter on the outside edge of my hand. Both on my right hand. Immediately, I grab my box cutter and begin to dig the splinter out of my thumb. I cut along the splinter as I usually do, but somehow the cut is just a hair off, and not helpful at all. A little unsure about how I managed to miss like that, I continue to scrape at it in the usual way. Careful not to scrape along the new cut I just made, it manages to seal back together like nothing had happened, only a little pain that is completely drowned out by the irritation from the splinter.

Worried that people will think I'm just being a slacker, I change my position so that I'm not laying down on my side across the desk as I do this. Now the lighting is sort of dim, so I go stand directly under a ceiling light for an easier view. Not getting the splinter out of my thumb yet, I decide to give the other one a go, and contort myself to get a good angle on it. Carefully holding the box cutter by the edge of the razor blade, I begin to rake at the second splinter to get it out. This one is much easier, and after removing some surface skin, the splinter flips over, and sticks out of my hand. I wipe it away with the blade.

Then I notice it's 9:40 and I'm already late for work! I'll have to finish the splinter removal later, and I run to my bicycle, dropping every thought of what else I want to do in order to make it to work as fast as humanly possible.

July 11, 2014

I can only remember fragments. Woke at 4AM half asleep dreaming about classic cars but not sure what went on, later had fragments of riding in a car trying to go somewhere i didn't know. All the details are hazy so i really cant remember much today. Just feel tired.

Awake Non-Lucid Lucid

3:00

I woke up to my alarm playing "Helter Skelter". I went to the bathroom and stayed up for another minute or two for a total of around 5 or 6 minutes. I then stayed in my bed for an hour and thirty minutes until I fell asleep.

~4:28

I woke up in my bed,hearing the usual sounds when I'm lucid (rushin, et cetera). This time I wasn't scared. I attempted to someone to walk into my bedroom, but nothing happened. I tried to get up, and all I did was lay there. I was paralyzed. I close my dream eyes, thinking that I'm in sleep paralysis or something, and that I just need to wait a few more minutes. I ended up awake at 4:29.

I then layed in bed for another whole bunch of time, waiting to go to sleep, accepting that I failed to have an LD this night.

~5:00

I remember babies, and my hometown. There were good and evil babies, and devil babies. I especially remember a certain demon baby. I also remember the playground in my hometown.

---

I don't remember much about the plot of this dream, but I remember the setting pretty vividly. I was flying (I love flying dreams so much, but I don't have them very often at all), and I came to this large courtyard with a huuuuuge tree in the center. Not quite Home Tree sized, but much bigger than a normal tree. The building around the courtyard was old and made of red bricks, though I didn't look to see what the design was like.

I had the vague impression that I was supposed to be doing something at this tree, but I can't remember what it was. All I know is that I was flying through the branches and leaves, and it was beautiful :)

There was one other part of this same dream; I had landed, and was talking with the Backpacking Group, and I was trying to prove that I had flown through the tree. They didn't believe me, even though I demonstrated how I could fly right in front of them. Then Ivan asked if we all had the supplies we needed for our next trip. I hadn't gotten all my supplies yet, so we were all looking through a catalog to order what we needed. There were a lot of seemingly pointless things in the catalog, and the things we needed didn't seem to have a purpose.

Dream 1

I'm walking through the school with C, I, and a couple others. C keeps putting her arm around my waist. I put mine around hers a couple times, and when I do its like she's wearing a short shirt or something because I can feel skin, warm and soft. I put a cloth on her head and call her my 'Mormon Egyptian friend'.
We are now at a door that opens to the outside. We open it and a violent gust of dust blows in. There is a sandstorm outside. After it clears up inside, we open the door again. It is now raining or snowing. I walk outside and my friend are gone.
Trying to find them, I end up back inside, in a large, crowded hall. It seems like something bad is happening outside.


Dream 2

Im at a concert. I never hear this band's music but I know they are metal-core or something. The male singer is telling the crowd to 'jump like walruses' and gets really mad when we don't - he reminds us a lot. I decide that I don't like this band.
A new band comes out. The drummer starts playing a slow intro with heavy beats. The long-haired male singer comes out, his eyes rolled back into his head. He does slow, heavy metal growls. I like them.
Now, I find myself in a bathroom. It's very crowded and I only find one empty stall. The seat is so dirty that's it's completely yellow. I start scraping it clean and sit down. The stall door is open and I notice that everyone else's door is open. I also notice that girls and boys are in here - I don't find that extremely odd.
I hear some guys talking about how they were able to go to the concert. One says all he had to do was say "I'll be right back".

Dream 1
Recorded at 5:20

I'm at my home town and in the Main Street where paint shop is. There's a motocross track in front of me and I can see people riding there dirt bikes on it. Most of the kids are being cautious and taking it slowly. I see Logan Dy on the track and he's bike is acting up on him, it seems to be going slow. Not too long later he gets it going and he goes over the jump like a pro.

Im standing with Rob Shan and notice that Jamie Smith's Dad comes over to us. I think he's got Logan's bike and shows us the problem it was having. He points at the back piece where the chain hooks into the spikes. He says that it's bent and will cost $2500 to fix. He says that mines a similar issue and will cost $1500.

I'm in a car with both Rob and Jamie's Dad, on my way to getting dropped off at home. I see that there's a Total Tools shop which I've never seen before. J's Dad mentions about my illness and says that it isn't bad enough to the point of where I cannot work. I ask him does he think I'm a bludger and he pretty much says yes but sugar coats it a little.

I see a pub where Tash Steven's lives and I mention Arpie would love it.

I'm now at Blaxland house and I'm pretty upset at the moment. I talk to both of my parents and tell them about the discussion I had with J's Dad. My voice almost trembles from anger while speaking about it.

Dream 2
Recorded at 9:00am

A man is sentenced to life in prison for doing cruel things to animals. I see the heart break and anger of the family. If looks as if they're on a roof top at night time. The family look of Asian descent which are crying historically and the other man looks African and is angry.

Dream Fragment

Rex drinks all of his water and Dad refills it up and says something about fluoride.

The entire dream took place near the shore of a large lake. The odd thing was there were no buildings, but there were foundations where it looked like a building should be. There was one area that was clearly a sleeping area from rows and rows of bunk beds that were there.

Dream
I was on a jetski and I rode it up to the shore where I bunch of people were congregating. Somehow knew they were Muslim and, oddly, I felt that I was also Muslim. Walking up to a large group of people that were involved in this festival type activity, one of them called to me, "Napoleon!" Suddenly I had a sense that I was Napoleon Dynamite and I walked over to him. They were standing in a really large foundation, playing a game (passing some kind of a ball around). One of the men seemed kind of antagonistic to my presence. He would glare at me and whisper things to an older man. It made me a little nervous.

The older man walked up to me and ordered me to kiss his daughter. Feeling like he was setting me up, I refused but he kept persisting, pushing his daughter toward me. After a few more refusals and me pushing her away, he ordered me to kiss his wife. I looked at his wife, who seemed afraid at this point, then I walked away.

I headed toward the bunk beds and laid down on one of them. This is when the younger of the two Muslims stormed up to me. He was screaming at me, but I couldn't understand what he was saying. He was pissed, nearly hitting me a few times. I stood up from the bed and looked toward the water.

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.
