non-lucid

Today i dreamt i was sitted on a black chair in the kitchen, the lights were turned on and there was at night.
I saw beatriz silva and other guys talking. for some reason i went crazy and went near the microwave going insane
such as saying random things and fall to the floor, there was someone trying to control me but i couldn't
i was really angry to see beatriz silva talking to other guys than me.

today i dreamt i was at school at night, i was coming from the
soccer field it was raining and i had my hair wet. Then i noticed my hair was different.
i got to see myself in a mirror, my hair was similar to light yagami's
i had a part of my har crossing my eyes, but my clothes were from hogwarts uniform (WTF BRAIN?!!)
my hair was light brown, then i felt really nice being light yagami in my school, i walked around the school
here and there. then i got tired and went to the soccer field again, the weather was now cloudy and daytime.
The soccer field is near the balnearies, i climbed that little degrees to see the soccer field, and then i looked back
and saw tiago parreira, he smiled then i asked him while he was entering to balneary "will you have physical education?"
he said: "yes" and i asked: "With this rain?" and he simply gone without answering.

Morning of February 22, 2014. Saturday.



This is a more positive variant on the recurring King Street dreams (which I have had off and on for over twenty years) where I often owe a lot of back rent and am wandering about at different times through a former or present room. There have been many variations.

I end up looking around in the south-most apartment on the east side of the big boarding house. It does not seem to be the place I had lived at recently (and I never had that particular apartment in real life). There is not that much activity or movement from other potential tenants. Later on, there is a first-time (I think) variation in this type of dream. The landlady comes up and says I can have that particular room and I will actually be paid to live there. This seems a bit unusual, but I guess that is how it will then be (in my dream). I still believe that I should be paying her, though.

Apparently, I had actually been living in the middle room (as I had once in real life) on the east side of the building, before wandering off and living elsewhere (unknown) or being homeless for six months or less, I think. Someone else, however, had been living there for a few weeks though my belongings were all still in the room exactly as I had left them.

My belongings, other than a few clothes, turn out to be a large number of mostly hardcover science fiction books (including Isaac Asimov’s “Foundation”) and 33 rpm record albums, mostly in larger cardboard boxes. As I move them to my new living location, a couple others help, and the other tenant (about nineteen and likely a local university student) seems somewhat relieved that he has more space for his own possessions.

Then comes the somewhat disjointed and more unusual part of my dream. For some reason, I put on the video of Rick Springfield’s “Speak to the Sky” (a song I played often in my youth - yet did not know he was Australian and from Sydney). This is not like the one I actually have.

It is not any real video, though, and it does not even look like him. He plays an acoustic guitar (with a large mic and amp, I think) in front of a small audience on a mostly featureless and inconsequential stage. There is a strong focus on some sort of eerie buzzing effect on one of the guitar strings every two measures or so - probably the low E string. He supposedly makes this sound by placing a stick just close enough to the string to cause the additional sound each time. I suppose I should be wondering how he is able to play the guitar with both hands and hold the stick at the same time. I do not question this obvious impossibility, though. At times, it looks like an ordinary board from the outer wall of a wooden house.

(In afterthought, this may be some sort of play on George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and possibly also with the saying “Speak softly and carry a big stick”). From there, not much happens other than a bit of idle conversation and look around at my supposed large record collection, spread out over about seven or more boxes as well as the same for the books. “Speak to the Sky” has appeared (or rather played) in my dreams more than other songs, I would say.

---

I had a dream which was kind of short the other night, but it was a pretty interesting one. I dream I am at my friend Connor's house, only in the dream it isn't his house, rather a kidnapper's home. My friends and I visit the home and we are kidnapped by a man by the name of Rick. He also manages to kidnap my dog as well. We are held captive for awhile until if I recall right, my friends distract the man in some sort of way. They might've attacked him, but my memory isn't clear on it. Anyway, I take this moment to try and escape. I run off and for some reason I take my dog with me. I've got nothing against him, but why would anyone take their dog with them in this situation, when they would oblivious to what is going on? I don't take this into account and continue running away. I make it to the fields of the local high school and I continue to run. My dog now starts barking, and I knew that we were a dead giveaway now. This is until I see a police officer nearby and I grab his attention. I tell him a man named Rick has my friends kidnapped and is going to kill us all. As I say this, Rick and his partner show up. The police officer then pulls out a revolver and shoots Rick's partner square in the face without hesitation.

Damn! Talk about merciless! He then tries to kill Rick but fails before Rick can kill him. I see that the revolver is still on the ground in front of me, and I grab it. I check the bullets to see only two left. I put the loader back in and fire multiple times, only to hear clicks. Then a round fires and misses Rick by mere inches, and then another round fires, this one hitting him in the chest. Rick is down for the count now, and we're free! That's all I can remember.

Journal Entry non-lucid #41 Dream, non-dream (Comments)
Background: I tried to prepare to do a MILD. I did the relaxation, the visualizations and the mantra.

Dream fragment 1, 8:20pm-1:10am." Epic Battle between DCs": I watched a battle between two DC. One of them a women and another a boy maybe about 10 or 11. I don't remember when it started but they were flying in the air. Everybody in the city started to evacuate, by an order of the government. They flew at each other. She hit him threw a wall. His body blew up a building. He got back up and blasted purple energy beam at her. It destroyed many buildings leaving holes and ruble behind. She had the same power as him and she fired back. They were fighting for some time without injuring each other but the city was destroyed.

Dream fragment 2, 8:20pm-1:10am."": Me and a friend, only in the dream. He wanted to surprise his girl friend on valentines day so he took a card from my other friend. He told me this when I asked him where he got the card. We were talking about something for a long time though.


Dream fragment 3, 8:20pm-1:10am." Sleeping Under the Desert": I was in my house and my sister brought her friend home. I was talking to my mom as she cleaned the bathroom sink. I went to speak to my sister but she ignored me. I got angry. She came later on to talk to me. I said to her, "why did you brink her I wanted to talk to you". My sister tried to signal me to stop because the girl stood right next to me. I saw her with my peripheral vision. I tried to act casual and started to look around. The room transformed into the grand canyon filled with deserts. I failed to notice the change. I saw a car crash into a canyon and I casually looked at it. I then turned to face her. She looked at me in disappointment. I got tired so I picked up the floor of the desert as if it was a bed sheet and put it over me. It felt warm and comfortable.

The environment changed yet again. Now I am in the garage of my home. This old man that I didn't know was cutting wood. The other DC needed to use the bathroom and so did I. They left. I wanted to go but the old man needed to use the bathroom as well. I told him he could go before me. He put his head down as to thank me. He pointed at something and he said there is a rat over there. It was a huge rodent about the size of a kitty. We started chasing it out the house. A cat appeared out of nowhere and started hunting it. My sister and someone else got distracted and chased the cat instead. I told them to concentrate. I told them to stop. They got the cat. I walked next to it. It jumped in my face, screeched at me, then it scratched me on the neck which woke me up quick. When I woke up, I felt a moment of paralysis and a sensation around my neck which quickly faded.

I got up to do WBTB. I read a little about LD. I had some cereal before going to sleep.


Dream fragment 4, 3:51am-6:17am." Mystical Creature in a play": I was with TO, he wanted to show me a drama thing he saw in a dream. We walked up to this stage. It was like the stage was the book that we picked. We saw a hole in the floor. We looked inside of it. At first it was cardboard looking you know the kind that would be used in waking life drama. Then it transformed the characters became real. I saw a owl with its wings raised nearly to its neck. It looked bizarre, and as it was trying to fly away I saw four legs. He wanted me to show me something. I distracted him when I noticed the night's sky. I saw a shooting star. I said, "look even the sky looks real". Then I looked down one more time.


Dream fragment 5, 3:51am-6:17am."": I was in SY house. I made up the place I never been to his house. It was mostly made of concrete and I touched one of the concrete, it felt cold.

Now this to me was a weird one, and there is going to be a lot of side notes to go along with it.

Dream: I am in my elementary school music room (Kind of a weird setting for a dream.) and I am have the spear from this cartoon that I drew of parallels to my dream characters.
And the actual content was rather lame. I had the spear, and I was in the music classroom. Non-lucid, just twirling it around and practicing with it calmly, trying to feel for how much control I had over the spear.
For those who don't know, this is a personal ensign that I created, meant to represent the letters L D (For Lucid Dreaming) I have this ensign drawn on post it notes that I place around the house, and on the covers of my schoolbooks. It is a sign to remind me to reality check. If I can get this sign to appear in my dream, then bang! easy lucid!

I also had a particularly interesting semi-lucid dream. I was playing some sort of video game and the main character was a young African American girl who lived in a small tribal village setting. I somewhat knew this was a dream or a "mental simulation" of sorts.
Anyways, this mental simulation/video game was similar to an RPG and you could level your character up by doing certain tasks. I decided to focus on running and achieving maximum speed. So I ran from the village into this forest area where I encountered some large hermit crabs that were supposedly enemies in the game. But they fled when I came near them.
I then encountered (and I'm not kidding here) a tyrannosaurs rex that chased me. Luckly my running skill was leveling up and I was able to outrun him. I returned to the village area where I would have to eat and sleep and prepare for the next day of game-play. Also, because the dream was in third person it was not very vivid.

2.21.14 Friday

Last night, bed 11:30 -4:47am

All 3 dreams remembered in the morning, with some of them memorized maybe an hor before awakening last time.

DR 1: World falling apart
I'm walking with a friend of mine on a walkway, that looks like one from "Thor" movie. The one that leads to the teleportation machine. It's made of energy tiles, that have all different colors, and they change as you walk on them.

The world is falling apart, and this walkway has became available to few. Someone points to the right and says: "Look, New York is already torn away". I look and chunk of earth with NY on it is halfay up to the skies.

We are thinking that the walkway will fall apart and not let us finish going to the next world, that will be safe. It's falling apart in front of us, and it's coming towards us. But it stops just before us. In fact, it becomes more solid. I realize that I don't have to walk, just hold on to, and it will pull me. I just have to brace and my feet will slide forward by themselves.

DR 2: Gateway
I'm a soldier. We are in a sandy area. Looking towards a black hole of 3 feet in diameter, that is in a sand hill. Inside of a hole is pitch black. Sometimes we can see lights and we realize those are cities and cars at night. I think we can use it to get there from this place. It's like a teleportation device.

We also expect enemy from there. But not from the cities with cars. So a friend of mine lays down in a way, so he can see the opening, in case enemy comes through. And here they come. I walk fast among fallen soldiers on my side to look for ammo or functioning weapon. I see many fallen soldiers and a few live ones. There are handguns, revolvers, and one Maxim machine gun. But I think we are all out of amm. I bring a flashlight back and shine it into the opening from time to time, so they can't sneak up on us.

DR 3: Supply run
I'm in frozen world. It's so cold, that it can kill you. We can go out only when it warms us. We are all dressed up as in arctic environment. There is a small hut we go to to get supplies. We ahve no idea how soon will the freeze start again, but then I see large numbers sitting in the snow, that are counting down from 177. I tell my friend, that we have 177 seconds before the freeze. So we hurry and fill the sled with food supplies, so we have enough before we can go on another food run again.


Wow, 3 alien world feeling dreams in one night. What did I do to deserve it? makes no sence. I was quite upset last night. Anyway, thank you.

Dream 1
Not-Lucid

I am walking around in this city like subarbs its very bright and the houses look very nice. I come up to one of the houses and on the sign it says SoloMid. I think to myself does team solo mid really live here?? I stood there for a minute thinking if i should knock but then the door opens and dyrus comes out of the door and we begin to chat. we talk about weight lifting and playing games. He invites me in and we just hang out he asks if i want a beta key for this new game and i say yes that would be awesome. some guy walks up and chucks a phone at me and i catch it. it scares the crap out of me but on it was the beta key.

Writing down dream notes (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I dreamt I would lay in my bed and write down notes about my recent dream "German Jackass?" on my phone. Then I woke up and was confused whether I did write down the notes or not.

Last night I was reading a book before bed and then had 7 dreams. This night I was reading stuff on my phone before sleeping and only had 3 dreams.
I guess the stuff about watching screens before sleeping reducing dream recall or whatever is true.

German Jackass? (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

There is a new TV show with a bunch of German famous comedians.
Two of them, one being Michael Kessler (pic), went to my old school and started a fight in front of the pupils to shock them.

Watching wrestling with my mom (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was watching a WWE (Professional Wrestling) Live Event on TV with my mother. It was just a single match instead of a bunch of matches. The match was kind of like a Royal Rumble, where random Wrestler enter the fight after a certain amount of time, but Wrestlers weren't eliminated when the get thrown over the rope out of the ring. In fact they were allowed to fight outside the ring without disqualifications.

During the match I was telling my mom all sorts of background information even though she didn't really care most of the time.
I remember I also told her about the wrestler Daniel Bryan and his impact on the company. (The WWE has quiet a few of problems recently which makes the fanbase pretty mad. One of which seems to be that wrestler.)

Did everything "wrong" but still ended up with some recall. To bed super late (2am-ish), ate a bunch of chocolate late in the evening (I have no caffeine tolerance so it gives me a caffeine buzz), ate a big heavy meal immediatley before bed. Up early for breakfast duty, so only one recalled dream. Not nearly as clear as other nights this week but still OK.

Tomorrow marks my 6th month anniversary of LD practice!

morning (get up) waking:

+ I'm in my (fictional) house, putting on socks, sock on left foot is ripped to shreds at the toes, all my toes show through there's barely any material over my toes, I adjust a thread of the sock from one toe to another. I think I should put on my birkenstocks, but wonder about whether this will hurt my foot (real life memory, I currently have a foot issue). I see outside a window to the path running down the side of the house (very narrow, neighbor's fence is right there), I see bright green grass clumps growing up through the cement pathway, I think the side of the house is dirty/messy and do people ever clean there, I hear the next door neighbour (the next house is just a few feet away) over the fence. I'm thinking about going out to get some fast food.

after breakfast duty, about 1.5 hours later, back for a nap. I'm wide awake, but manage to eventually block off all thoughts and daydreams and get back to sleep.

next two wakings:

+ in a rented house, meet the landlord man, more man friends of his come by, I speak English, but they're (foreign), I repeat in foreign language, they laugh I think at my accent. One guy lies down on a narrow long couch and sinks into it I think it looks like a coffin. There's a rollaway bed by the wall. We say yes everything is fine with the apartment. We normally deal with the landlord's wife. He's older about 60-70.

+ wife and kids are going on a trip they're meeting the bus at the store down the street

+ I'm getting off a bus (at my childhood home, bus route doesn't match real life bus route) I have a lot of stuff, the driver starts going again before I can gather everything up and get out the door, as he gets impatient that I'm taking a long time to get off, I go up to him and yell (foreign language) "STOP PLEASE!", he stops, I go back to my seat, there are so many bags there, I try to gather them all up into my arms.

+ In a room with my wife, I'm lying down, there's another older woman there standing over my head with her feet apart, there's going to be some "swinging" action, I remove my underwear, feel very self-conscious about what this woman thinks of my "equipment", I look up and see some kind of bizarre and unappealing genatalia. I have some concerns about my wife's devotion to me.

+ (DO) overhead view of some sort of game where pieces move over terrain. Bunch of people/kids/ some sort of club?

+ outdoor scene of water and ice flowing and heaving in large pools (residue of watching glacier calving video a few days ago?)

I was trying to catch a turtle but my DC said that it was a trap, when i caught the turtle i heard a snake sound and suddenly everything around me became a huge arena where me and a lot of sumo DC were trapped.
I got out of the arena and the DC were saying:Well done u have done the impossible.
Then i woke up

Journal Entry non-lucid #40 Dream, non-dream (Comments)
Background: I drank too much water for WBTB and ran out of my room thus making it hard to remember the early part of the night. I stayed up and tried playing games struggled with the internet connection for quite some time like 30-40 min. I finally got it going, I was sleepy and tired. I got on computer and began to categorize my dream signs like Stephan LaBerge suggested. I got tired went to room. I heard Robert Monroe's Advanced focus 10. I tried to WILD, but I fell asleep too early.

Dream fragment 1, 3:40am-6:33am." Old conflicts, same conflict": I was trying to sleep on a curb and I saw a old rival, LE. I looked at him with shock and was ready to fight. He apologized and asked me to help him. His parents died so he cried but after a while I found out he was lying to me.

Dream fragment 2, 3:40am-6:33am." Sad! Teacher got Cancer Again": Me and my dad were at a DMV. My dad didn't know where the line started so he went to the front. They kicked us to the back. I saw my old Eng 1A teacher. She was fatter and I asked her how is she doing. She told me she has cancer again and that is why she is here. She told me she went to Vegas and she enjoyed her time there. She went and sat down. The line was going I told her to go in front of us she was waiting before me and my dad. She just looked at me. My father gave me the look and turned around. She looked so weak and helpless. Alone on that bench. I felt sad in the dream because she fought cancer before and she has to fight it again.

2.20.14 Thursday

Last night bed 12-7 am

Nap around 3:20pm - 5:30pm

DR
I'm on some kind of a wooden walkway, that's in my backyard. It's raised up, about as high as trees. Ophelia's ex is there and I'm fighting him, because he is bugging them. I'm throwing some heavy glass vases or something similar at him. He catches one and I' thinking now I'm gonna get it, because we are only about 10 feet away. I brace for it, but he throws it down.

Now I'm sleeping in white sheets, in sunny room. It has huge windows on one side. They lead to a wooden patio, that wrappes around the house. I ahve a feeling it's not a house, but a room in some resort.

I lay on my back and I see this ex walking by the window. I'm hoping he will not see me in there, so he doesn't causes a scene by banging on window and trying to come in. There is a female with him. I have a sense she is nasty, same as him.

DR 2
I'm still on some raised platform, but now much higher. I feel like I'm a recruit about to be initiated into some military group. I'm walking up the stairwell. There is a female officer on top yelling on another recruit infront of me, that they are not suppose to stop.

When I reach to, she askes me if I'm [name, last name, which I don't remember]. I say yes ma'am. Then she askes me my last name. I don't understand what she is asking so I say "excuse me"?. She repeats the question and yells at me, that if I understood her the first time, we would have been done already.

I'm carrying a shopping bag full of orange juice liquid, without any containers. It seems, that at the top, we are suppose to lay on our back on top of the flying airplane and drink the juice. That's the initiation. 2 people are mocking me and touching my stomach, implying, that I'm not gonna be able to drink it all and I'll fail. As I'm standing higher on stairs, and they are a bit below me, I turn to them and tell them that "yeah, I should probably empty my stomach now, so I can drink it all" and I pretend to throw up on them.
