non-lucid

I'm off today, so went to bed around 10pm last night and got to sleep in till 7am or so.

I am in Norway and I can distinctly feel that my position on the globe is much more north than normally. I am there with a man that I like (in a dream). He is handsome, calm, nice. We stop in a small bar and he speaks to the waitress in norwegian.

He orders a small glass of red vine and I get a small glass of also some red drink. Only after I try later I realize that it's mulled wine. I appreciate it, since it's cold outside.

I'm watching the scene right behing the large window of this bar. I'm fascinated by the ice and snow. Some people and even kinds are walking on this ice that's broken up into small ice floats. I'm surprised they are doing it, since it's dangerous and I'm wondering how come they don't fall into the water. But they seem to enjoy it and they know what they are doing. Now I am outside as well. Two girls approach, and they are having fun as they are walking on the ice that has a layer of melted water on top of it. The ice is smooth, shiny, and one girl has only one sock on, the other foot is barefoot. I don't see any pants on her and maybe only a long sleeved t-shirt, but she is playing on that ice, even laying down and doing snow angels kind of thing.

In general I have good feeling from this dream.

I'm at a LDing camp which is just about over. I pondering if I should took the advanced LDing camp now, which had been offered to me.

Looking at the windowsil, I just remembered a dream I recalled when I woke up, then forgot later.

We are at some vacation house. It's time to go home so we are packing. I'm not as anxious this time. Normally when I'm packing to leave from a place, I get super worried that I will forget some of my things, and I always find more of my stuff in some drower, and I'm mad at myself that I have too many things and that I started to pack too late.

I decide to look at the mattress if there are any bedbugs. I realize we are leaving, but I would still like to know. There is all kinds of dirt there and I expect to find bedbugs, but they are not there.

I sit on the floor and a large bug runs out from a baseboard of the wall and I think 'eeww, a cocroach". But I look closer and it's a black scorpion. Kinda large. Then I see my girl cat sleeping just inches from him, so I look for a shoe to kill him. But I realize I don't want to kill him, just to redirect him. He still gets too close to my cat and I'm worried.

I'm again in Istanbul, this time at the airport. It's a huge place. We are walking around with other people, all in line. Going through buildings, courtyards, maze like rooms, backyards... Feels like Middle East, or Southern Italy, or indeed Turkey.

Sometimes there are guides guiding us, but most of the time we are just hoping we are going the right way. At least once I lose my way and I feel like I'm going in circles. Red brick older style building with walkway around it, some greenery and a wall fence.

I finally get to a hall with lots of soldiers and security. Some are dressed in military uniform, white helmet, boots and boot guards, like the honor guard is wearing in front of historic sites in Istanbul. I breathe a sigh of relief, finally I'm in more familiar place with some security.

( I thought this maybe because I thought about my time in Istanbul and had a dream yesterday also. But now that I'm hearing what I'm typing, this could reflect my waking life. I felt like going nowhere in my job, because management is not listening to any good ideas. But just yesterday they did what I have been asking for for such a long time. Very happy about that. I will have lot more work, but will be more rewarding. And hopefully I'll get more hours to actually do it, haha.)

I remembered this dream when I woke up at 3 am for my shift, but didn't write it down. Later, I couldn't remember what it was about, until now at 7 pm someone on TV mentioned Istanbul.

I just moved into an apartment complex near the bridge in Istanbul. I think it was that huge bridge over Bosporus connecting European part of Istanbul with Asian part. I was thinking about this bridge and the cityl just last few days. How much I liked Istanbul and how much fun it would have been to walk across that bridge on foot, like I did with Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

I started walking from my apartment on a sidewalk, with buildings on my left, and some concrete channel, or freeway on my right. There were some huge channels coming out of the buildings. Like end of a gutter, or place where water runs through. Water was very low, it barely made the ground wet, but moss was growing there and I was worried if I slip or get my shoes wet. And thinking what is the purpose of those channels, intercepting the sidewalk. They were so out of place.

I came to the beginning of the bridge and I realized I have walked too far. Somehow I missed the turnoff I was supposed to make. I see a map on the wall but I can't really make sense of it. I'm thinking that's ok, I'll just walk up the stairs to a tourist center and buy a map of the place. Then I realized I don't have any money on me, maybe just enough for a bus ride home. So I was gonna borrow some money from my aunt Julie who strangely worked there.

I have one more dream, but sadly nothing on TV today jogged my memory, haha.

I just had a emergen-C drink with 3 mgs of melatonin. I already took it once before bed time and I remember sleeping well but no recall.

Day off today. Bed 10 pm last night - 6:20am.

DR1

I'm standing outside of a large, older style house in the woods. Not many leaves on the very tall, skinny trees with lots of long branches. Sun maybe setting because there is not much sun and conditions for taking photographs is not ideal.

But I look closer and I realize how beautiful and unique the scenery is. I raise my camera and start taking pics, zooming in a framing trees with skies. It's really beautiful. There are some kids coming closer and one is pausing, thinking I'm taking pics of her. But I just want her to get away from my shot.


DR2

I'm in my old bedroom with someone else. There is a bomb in the middle of the room and 2 seasoned police officers from bomb squad are disarming it. They are not worried at all, because it's an old bomb, not complete.

They are unscrewing 4 cylinders from the top. I'm wondering why are they turning them clockwise, when unscrewing should be counter-clockwise. I realize that someone who placed them there wanted the officers to actually finish assembling it while they are thinking they are dismantling it, and it's gonna blow.

I grab a child that's with me, rush it out to the balcony where we huddle in the corner with blanket over us. Im't trying to shield him with my body.

I yell at the officers to get their attention. One comes to the window and I yell at them to stop, the bombm is oxidized and gonna blow. Second guys comes to wndow and I repeat.

DR3

I'm driving slowly behind a line of cars. The road is blocked with some kind of construction, or destruction debree. We have to drive up the curb, then over some metal planks that bridge a trench in the asphalt top, that is almost completely filled with very dusty soil. The asphalt is coverd in dust as well, ther are some sand drifts too. I wonder if car will drive through it. I'm hoping the guys directing us will not find out that we are not part of them, as they are the bad guys.

Bed 8pm-2:30am

I'm sitting in some kind of a vehicle, that resembles the trams that transport people at Disney, from parking lot to the park. Only it doesn't have any roof, sits only 2 in a cart and it's lover to the ground.

We are traveling on some kind of a path taking us through the wilderness. It's a beautiful day. Blue skies, lots of snow on the ground and sun is shining and reflecting off the snow. Making a wide left turn over a frozen creek between some gentle hills. I see an animal that is a cross between a guinea pig and a hedgehog, golden white and absolutely adorable. Next comes a wolf and as the animals are coming into view, I'm calling out their names.

I know the reason why we are there and why it's different than it seems. This, btw is a feeling I have in many of my dreams. Even when I am in danger, I always know it's "just a game".

DR few days ago:
I'm at a friends apartment. They are going for vacation, so I will be taking care of her guinea pig. It's adorable, small, all chocolate brown with a white zigzag line around his shoulders. I'm taking him with me to my place to take care of him. First time I leave but have to turn back because I forgot to take his food.

Holding him in my arms, somehow he gets away and people on the wooden boardwalk help me find him and catch him. This dream was not so pleasant.

Took a 2hr nap in the afternoon. Then bed 9:30pm-3:20am

I'm in a large, wide, brightly lit airplane with big windows. I wonder where we are going and if we are safe when I hear the engines whine. From where I'm sitting, I can see outside from the large, front window. Suddenly the plane tilts down and we are almost diving. I see the ground approaching and I say my goodbyes while struggling for words and thoughts how to do it properly. I'm not scared, but I know this is the end.

My view changes from the ground now. I see a huge airplane with large wingspan descending sharply and almost leveling out just above a busy street with small cherry trees in blossom, before it starts climbing up, then heading down again.

Back on the airplane I'm thinking "Great, we are gonna crash under the cherry trees right at the fucking Walmart". And that's exactly what happens. While I'm looking out the front window, we kinda crash land through the cherry trees.

Now everybody from the plane is hiding out in some one story building. I'm outside with another person or two. It's at night. I just grabbed a submachine gun, flicked what I thought was safety, and I'm shooting at a terrorist dude who is shooting at me. I see the whitish trail my bullets are making and I see them hitting the bad guy. I shoot single shots. Later after we get them all and go into the building to tell the passengers they are safe, we look at my gun and the toggle was not for safety. It was for mode of shooting - full auto, 3 shot burts, single shot. I said like single shot, because of best aim and control, or a double tap - head, head or head torso. Effective. We laugh, all happy that we saved them. I think I was shot in the shoulder, but I don't mind.

DR2
I'm in housing area of some research center on another planet. All I remember is that I need to hide, because someone is coming to look for me. So I'm looking at living quarters of other people, where I could hide. Behind the desk or sofa is clearly not good enough. How about a room that is padlocked? Or a crawl space above the door, but I think that's too narrow to get through.

Sleep from 8pm - 3:20am

I got accepted to JPL school in Texas. It's not just a campus, but a research center and exhibition park with all things space. It's somewhere up in the hills, so high, that they have to carry up even helicopters.

I'm excitingly trying to call my brother to tell them I got accepted to JPL, because he was going for a visit there. But there is no signal so I'm going to wait till I skype him from my room.

I'm with my old classmates and a teacher having orientation. After that we take some escalators down into living habitats, which are huge building towers. The escalators and everything is full of visitors, tourists, people who work and live there.

We stop on the bottom of the escalator, because friend of mine M wants to get a drink. One bar is closed for some celebration, so my friend and someone else pulls out half full bottle of pear vodka and make mixed drinks at outside tables of another bar. I wonder where they have the bottle before.

Then we take a people mover that dips deep down into a wall and ends up at a boarding platform. We need to cross from Tower A to Tower B where we have living quarters. We sit down in nice cusioned seets on this transportation device that looks like a disneyland ride. It has about 7-10 seat rows. The attendant comes by to check our resident cards and I scramble to find one in my backpack. When she scannes it, she tells us that we have to wait for the next one, because this one is full. But it clearly is not, so we feel discriminated against because we are from another country.

So me and 3 other males ask how to get to the other tower and we are told there is some service tunnel. We get there and there are many heavy doors opening and closing fast to let fast moving people moving carts through. They are going really fast , we can't even see them coming or going, just a blur. Somehow we get through few doors, I see those guys running through them, diving through pipes and openings in the wall. But we have to turn back, because it becomes more dangerous and people just can't get through there.

Took a long, 5 hr nap after work, then bedtime around 2am.

DR
Really long and detailed, with some thinking in it. Wrote some keywords and now that's pretty much all I remember.

We are in some large, castle like building with big stairs and rooms. I was hacking with my huge machete at some solid matter, that was left from an alien who transformed into that. It wasn't easy, an pieces were flying off of it. It was similar to a wooden brick.

The aliens just beat us and they are leaving. We are waiting patiently for them to leave through the door, while we lay on the ground or hide. One of them turns back, looks at the person laying at the bottom of the stairs and says to the other alien, that he is dead or not dangerous anymore. I realize that it's me, even though I'm looking at it from 3.person view. Apparently I have just shed my true appearance and I don't appear to the aliens as a thread.

After they leave, we run down the hill at night and try to stop a car on the road, but we are also careful not to flag down enemies. Then the notice POLICE on the car and wave at them. They pass us, then they stop and 2 man have FBI on their windbreakers. We ar releaved that they will help us.

We tell them we need to go to hardware store to get more machetes, axes and big knives, because the ones we have are more like movie props. And we show them some swords that are made of shiny bendy plastic like thing.

Got home from work round 1:30pm. Made some hamburgers then took a nap around 4pm-9pm. Had a cool dream.

DR1
I'm going down an escalator in a mall. Only it's not a mall, but a huge grocery store. Every food type has it's own huge section as big as a whole wing of a mall. I'm walking by the cheese section. There is nobody else there and it feels like it's out of the way. I'm trying to figure out what did cheese do to be sequestered like that, haha. Then I see the Laughing Cow cheese on the shelf and I understand : D

My brother is looking at coconut water in cans. They are green and kinda expensive. He wants to buy some but doesn't want to spend the money. I tell him to buy just one or two then. He says they taste good with vodka, haha.

I go back to get him a few cans, and there are only 3 other customers. All male. I'm kinda worried that if they wanted to do something to me, they could. One of them walks near me with a big pillow in front of him and I wonder if he is hiding an erection. (lol). He is manacing and I get away from there.

DR2
I'm walking through a huge candy store. It's very bright and lots of glass and windows. Everything is very nicely displayed and organized and neat. There is 3 of us. Another female and a child. We are there for this kid who is picking out candy. I see containers of all kinds of cereal I have never seen before in waking life. They were all mouthwatering. I considered getting some, but there were so many kinds. One with strawberry and ssome other frosting looked especially enticing. We come to boxes on the floor that are full of some soft, marshmallow or cotton candy type of thing. I taste it and pick up two bags to buy. It's so good.

(Just before sleep, I ate almost whole bag of candy. Felt bad about it too)

Slept 3.5 hrs in the afternoon 3pm-6:30pm. Went to bed around 10pm-3:30am.

So this was weird. I woke up from a nightmare, fell back asleep, only to have another one with same theme and sensations, only different setting. And then another one. All were long and detailed. Maybe it was too cold in my room. It was overcast and even started to sprinkle, but I already put away my comforter and have only 2 sheets and a blanket which I normally just kick to the side then dream about being in cold bath and stuff like that.

1)
I'm alone in my parents house. It's at night, they are on their way home. Some weird things are happening, or at least I anticipate them. Then the TV in another room turns itself on. I go to shut it off acting all tough and pretending I'm not scared. Something else happens with the door.

I go out to the hallway and I hear my parents are already downstairs talking to my aunt.

2)
This was really unusual. We went to someone's house. Those 3 people are suddenly telling us that they are gonna scare us for some reason. They transform into monsters. I'm not scared and I think this is not for real, because they told us and we seen them transform, they can't expect us to actually be scared.

But the situation is weird and I feel threatened, but I know I am safe. Those 3 monsters which are humanoid forms with scary masks on their faces that changed into real things, are now advancing towards us. I keep telling them something while backing away.

They point to the ceiling and I see large white ceilling speakers that slowly come out of the wall. They start playing some sound or music. It's loud and I hear those 3 saying that it's some kind of low frequency sound that's suppose to be terrifying on some prehistoric level. I know it and I'm shaking and scared despite knowing that I'm not scared. It's more like a physical reaction to the sound.

I somehow get away from them and come to the front door. I start writing 911 on the glass in hopes that pedestrians will see it and call help. I see some woman looking at me and at the same time I get an image of how she sees me. It's a fake image of something else, not me. The people inside of the "monster" house are camuflaging the inside, so people can't see what's really happening. I'm having hard time writing the numbers as I feel they could change or I can't really write them, but I can and I do, and they don't change.

I was just thinking yesterday why am I not having cool dreams like I used to.

Last night:
I was in South Amerika, I think Chile. We are looking at some monitor that's showing different beaches in Chile. We are picking a beach for a vacation. Someone says that when there is a heatwave in Mexico, it's also hot down in Chile.

Few days before:
It's night. We are running through some landscapa that is just dirt with occasional bush. It looks like lots of people went there, dirt is all roughed up. Someone is attacking in the distance from above. I see a hole in the ground. We go in. A huge rock blocks the entrance after we get in. We walk through some tunnels dug in the soil, it's pretty well lit with yellow light from unknown source. I have a feeling it's headqarters of resistance against alien invasion.

Last night went to sleep before 8pm. Woke up 3am, remembered these 2 dreams.

DR 1
Someone tells me that my brother is upstairs and he is the last angel left in the heaven. I ran upstairs to my moms bedroom. It looks same as in WL. I feel other entities in there and it's like that's some kind of a portal to heaven. I yell out to my brother "Don't worry, I'm coming to help you fight for the Good".

DR2
I look up and above the almost solid layer of clouds I see a silhuette of alien spaceship. Then there is more of them and their smaller attack ships are flying towards us.

We ran inside where they can't reach us with their "though weapons" and we organize into reistance. I put on my comfy clothes and I'm trying to figure out how to attach my litesaber so it' easily removed and put back. I'm trying to hang it from my left brest pocket button hole.

I hear skype ringing, I ask my dad who is in the living room if he can't hear that. I answer and it's my brother. He says Ididn't call him back about his video message he left me. (he did that IWL yesterday). I tell him same what wrote to him in skype in answer to his video.

5.31.16

Went to bed around 7 pm since I didn't take a nap earlier and I was sleepy from my early shifts.

DR1
My friend and classmate Luba is visiting. We are eating a tons of candy. It looks like a small rubber band, being attached to a small pin. I taste one since we don't know if I'm gonna like it. First there is no taste, then it's a blue rasperry like those sour raspberry ribbons you can buy at candy shops at malls.

I go to fetch more and I eat a lot. I look at all the pins and I'm like "holy crap, that's a lot of pins, I better throw them away so she doesn't know I ate them all".

I go back to her and she is now changed into my boy cat. She looks exactly like him, laying on a side of a mattress, stretching lazily. I move the tray with candy closer to her and as she is sniffing it, candy changes into salami sandwitches.

DR2
I'm attending some world conference in Russia. We are given a bedroom with attached kitchen. We take the wrong bedroom thinking that it's the one directly next to our kitchen, but that one belongs to chinese delegation. Now we don't have a window, darn.

As I'm standing in line for meal, we take a tray, utensils and move up with the line. I notice that the utensils still have soapy water on them, since there is a lots of people there and they are in a rush to clean them, no time to dry.

I look infront of me and there is Luba, all smiling and we talk a bit.
