non-lucid

Last night bed 9:15pm.

This dream was full of danger, and I didn't think of it as just a game. I was really worried.

It all revolves about a guy official. We are in his house, being chased around. 2 of us make it to the gate, open it and go through. I think they closed it behind them and it locked, but I get to the back door and run through a short yard to this heavy red metal gate and manage to open it. Just in time, because a woman who was chasing us is right behind me. I close the first set of the gate doors and the second one as she runs up to the gate. I don't want to waste my time closing it, but I hope it will lock and she has no keys on her.

Now I'm with my best friend M, she is leaving. Someone very young is giving birth so we are taking her to the town house. There is a dilemma weather to put her on a large white sofa in the lobby, or in some other room. A woman who works there says "other room", coz that huge sofa is so hard to clean.

We hear that dangerous guy and the woman talking. She just told him how we escaped. We put 2 and 2 together and now we have a better picture about who he is and his connections. I am scared, we have to get out. I get to an opened window and across a small courtyard there is another opened window and that guy is in there, talking to someone. I start yelling at him that I am coming for him. I throw a few tangerines at him to make sure he can hear me. I'm scared, but I do this often in my dreams. Instead of running away, I confront and charge at the scary stuff. I imagine running up to him, knocking him over and beating the crap out of him.

Not a very good dream, the danger was not pleasant.

As told today on irc:

[19:12:51] <gab|Away> oh, just gonna say, took a nap and escaped nuclear death coz had to pee
[19:13:08] <gab|Away> lol that woke me up, as Iran launched missels at us
[19:13:53] <gab|Away> I was like oh, they fired, I gotta pee, but if I go Ill miss seeing them hit, but also Ill proly be ded by then, so meeh

Was cool. I know we did something and we expected retaliation. I was in a highrise building, at daytime, by the large window, looking way to the left, very far in the distance. I think I saw to the other continent, haha.

So suddenly I see this small light streaking to the skies, with tail of smoke trailing behind it. Then another one. I wanted to follow them with my eyes, but lost them in the clouds, or they were just too small to see.

Then I felt like I have to go potty, and I had a dilemma. If I go, I will not see them hit. But I also knew that they targeted us, haha, so ... lol.

Then I woke up and had to pee.

Last night bed 9:15 pm

Dream just before waking up at 3 am

Home invasion

We are inside, at someone else's house. Preparing to be attacked, because we have something they want. Looking through the curtains if they are coming.

Now I'm with the invaders. Unwrapping tools, then a bomb. I'm intentionally reckless, trying to see if I can make the bomb blow up by hacking close to the fuse wires. It would kill me, but better than killing those others. Nobody is stopping me, so I start hacking off the ends of wires with some recepticles, to make them unusable. Now they notice, but they don't get too upset. I manage to damage one more.

Back again inside. I'm asking the homeowner if he has more than one gun and to give me one when they attack.

We see them in the yard, wiggling boards off of a wooden fence. I walk in a room and they are already inside. There is a mean looking chick and I don't wait for her to attack me. I advance at her with an old wooden chair, deflecting her blows and trying to hit her with it.

day before yesterday

I'm standing in a back of the bus with my brother. He tells me that he died on this bus, when it lost control going down the super steep hill we are on top of right now. The bus is about to go down the hill again. I look out the front window and get a familiar, uncomfortable feeling. I sometimes dream about being on a bus or car that I see going off the road and crashing few moments later. I'm a bit surprised at him being on the same bus again, since now he knows it's dangerous.

So I guess we take the ride anyway, because next thing I know, I am dead. I'm waling slowly, with my brother and some other person. It's very peaceful, we have no worries. First thing I notice is what we are wearing. Pants and a long shirt from some very light, tropical cotton, white and beige in color. And a whiteish scarf made from same material. I'm thinking, "oh, so this is what they give you to wear when you are dead".

Not a bad feeling from this dream. It was rather interesting.

I was captured by nazis. This female officer had me stand in the middle of the small room. She started unbuttoning my sweater. I got a bit nervous. She was saying something, but I don't remember what. Then she slowly unbuttoned my white shirt. I started to ask her not to continue, but I knew it's useless. I started to notice other people sitting on simple wooden chairs on the left side, by the wall. And I better put the rest in my private DJ. Sorry. I can say though, that after a while of not having happy endings, I had at least 2 last night. And this coz someone called me a nazi yesterday : D

I'm off today, but chose not to WILD. I just wanted to sleep in, which I never get to do, working 6 days a week and WILDing on the days off.

I had a bunch of dreams. Recalling this last one.

I'm in a futuristic train station, in US. The train looks like old steam engine trains. Black, but much shorter, with shorter engine and wagons.

I get on, and I'm talking to 3-4 ladies. They say they live out in the country, where it quiet, everything is green and peaceful. I ask them if it's worth it because of the long commute. They say, it only takes them 2 min to get home, since trains now are very fast.

I realize I'm on a wrong train. Decide to get off on the next station and catch a train going back. But the stop comes on too fast and I don't get off. That was the last stop in US, and next one we make, just a minute later, is in Japan.

I get off, but everything is moving so much faster, I miss getting on my train. I hop on as it starts to move, and I hang on the handle from the outside. I finally manage to open the door and get inside. The conductor is not very happy with me.

Last night, this was on april 27, not last night. It auto posted on 1st, because it had future task of the month spoilers which I didn't want to reveal till supposed to.

bed - 9:42 pm
GPC (600mgs) - 2:56 am
WBTB - 4 am
Galantamine (8mgs) - 4:43 am

Still heard my 5 am chime, fell asleep shortly after.
LD estimate - 20min long

5:47 am - Woke up from lucids on purpose, so I can write them down. Then went back to sleep, coz I wanted moar.

Didn't have any transitions at all. No head rush. No falling backwards, nothing. I just realized I'm dreaming and stood up.

1. HH - Insect
Oh lol ok, I guess I had a transition. As falling asleep, I hear a HUGE insect flying in the room. I try to move so hard, but can't at all. I realize how bad it must be for those, that see really scary things and can't move away, lol. I'm just waiting for it to get me, haha. But it doesn't.

2. Needles
There I realize I'm dreaming, and I find myself laying on the carpet in some unknown room. 2-3 kids are around me and sticking sowing needles in me. They spilled a bunch of them on the floor and I try to yell at them to pick them up.

I try to move away, but I can't move at all. I try to yell at them to stop, but I can't make a sound. I keep trying, and it almost feels like I can make some sounds from corner of my paralyzed mouth. I try to wiggle tips of my fingers, because I feel like those are moving. I finally roll away from them.

3. Flying in rain
Still in a same room, I hear how it started to rain outside. As I'm listening to it, it rains harder and harder. I'm starting to think that it's maybe happening IWL.

I remember I wanted to suggest this for a TOTM again, and how I loved doing it last time and it's my goal. So I phase through the wall to the outside and fly in the rain. It's awesome. I can feel cold drops hitting my whole body.

4. Empty rooms
At the beginning, while still in the house. I want to get out, as usually. But I decide to open the door to a room instead. I'm scared of what I'll find. But I tell myself why would I find something bad? It's all in my head. I open the white door in a white wall. The room behind it is white and empty. I open another door from this room, and same. White, and completely empty. Some kind of a wall feature under the window, but that's it. I'm kinda anxious to get out anyway, so I get out.

5. Persistent world, only not
I'm in a town. Walking towards a marketplace that's under a roof. I realize I already been there and change direction. I also realize that this is my persistent world. But I also realize, that it's not true, because I don't have it in my other dreams, or at least I don't remember it being there. But in my mind, I see the layout of the town.

6. TOTM - Put on glasses and describe how they change your vision. - fail
I remember this TOTM. I start looking for my glasses while walking through some rooms, but can't find them anywhere. Not even in my pocket.

7. TOTM - Make your phone ring, answer it and tell us who it is and what he wants. - fail
Same area, some kind of indoor marketplace. I remember the phone TOTM. I reach for my phone in my pants leg pocket and I know it's there, because it's always there. I search a bit and I find it between some papers. Same as it is IWL every day.

I think "ring, ring". But it doesn't. I look at the screen, and I see what looks like missed calls, because there are 3 callers. All start with lover case i. One is ijii⁶, rest are very similar.

8. TOTM - Put on glasses and describe how they change your vision. - success
As I'm walking by an opened door to some room, I see my glasses on a cabinet. I walk backwards, lol, to get back to the door, and there they are. I get in, pick them up and put them on. I'm standing by a grapefruit tree. Fruit is beautiful yellow, all sizes.

I look with glasses and I'm paying attention to difference in vision. Without glasses, I can see them very clearly and in great detail. With glasses, the image gets blurry. It surprises me. I lift the glasses up and down and keep comparing. Yup, blurry with glasses.

To make sure, I turn around and start looking at all kinds of pottery. Jugs, plates, cups. All ceramic, beautiful, white with blue flowers and design. I'm trying to see the difference, and again, image gets blurry with glasses. I'm like this can't be the only difference. So I notice how some blue's change into purple with glasses on.

There is a sign on one of the jugs. It says "msmgi's BBQ". I read it as Mismagius's BBQ, haha.

9. Hands - missing ring
I decide to see if I have my ring on. (Just before bed, I decided to put it back on IWL as soon as I get up in the morning, even if I lose more stones. I will replace them. But the ring has a special meaning to me and I I don't want to lose that.)

I lift my hands up. They look just like my real hands. Same shape, size, color. There is no ring, only an indent where it used to be. I reinforce my intent to put it back on in the morning.

10. Airplanes
I look at the skies through some window and opened doors. Some futuristic looking fighter planes are flying by on some late evening, dark stormy cloudy skies. I think (wish) they could be space ships, and I decide to go outside and fly with them. But I feel waking up and I decide to wake up and write down the dreams.

Oh yeah, before that, there was a dude leaning against a wall. I walk up to him and ask him if he wants to do it. He got surprised and is like "what, me"? I'm like yup. He didn't have a problem with that.

Ring.
So my WL ring lost a stone maybe 2 weeks ago. I took it off couple of days ago when I was mixing up some ground beef'. I didn't want to lose another one in the food. Then I didn't put it back on and I'm still torn about that decision. Then I had a dream, where I look at my hand, and ring that looks just like the real one is missing 3 more stones. I'm so sad. I lost something that I can't get back.

Amusement park.
This was 2 days ago.

I'm walking on a street in a Disneyland style park. Tons of people on sidewalks, lots of doors into bars and offices in a part that looks like just after the entry to Disneyland. I'm reading the signs above the doors and I finally see the name I'm looking for. It's an Indian name, all I can think of now is Rajesh, but it could have been a different one, and it had a surname too. The name is on a yellow sign board.

For some reason I keep walking to look around some more thinking now I know where it is and I'll get back to it later. I come to an area where the attraction is falling snow. Somehow they made it snow for real. I can feel it hitting my face from a side, it's cold and wet. I'm going back to the place where I found that guy, but I can't find it anymore. I walk all over the place, back and forth. No luck.

MTV style competition.

Me and my partner are being told the rules of the game. There is another couple we don't see, but we are competing against them.

There is a couple of bags made of tarp. We are suppose to find one that's moving. It has live frogs in it and we are suppose to take it somewhere. I start taking the bags off of the wheel barrow and I find one that's moving. My partner says, frogs will be all me, because he is not chasing those. So apparently we are suppose to collect 10 different animals.

I find some fish and gut them, then some other fish, and I understand that my part of the task is done. There is something about some bag hanging from some metal walkway couple of feet in the air and my partner is going around to get it off.

Last part - I am kneeling on a wooden boardwalk at the end of the comp. I suddenly feel something on me. I imagine it's a bucket of crabs. I cover my face with one hand and put my other hand in safety. I don't dare to move. I barely breathe. I'm not scared, but fuu, I'm pissed, I think.

When it's over, I watch some of the hermit crabs finding new homes in planters and small containers, and I ask the guys if they are ok with it.

This one was few days ago:

DR:
I am standing in an opening in a stone wall. Looks medieval. I'm carefully looking out, shielding myself with my large, round battle axe. There is a horde of people dressed in bear skins and similar attire, rounding a corner with their weapons raised above their heads. As they come near, a woman aims at the opening and starts shooting arrows with a bow.

Last night:
DR1:
I'm in my childhood house with my brother. We start to notice that items are rearranging themselves. New items appear that we have never seen before. I want my brother to hand me my phone so we can call our parents, but my phone was rearranged.

I notice our front door is not fully closed. I look outside and I hear someone coming up the stairs. I get scared, but then I see it's my dad.

DR2:
I'm visiting someone in their apartment. Talking to this girl, it turns out she is a lucid dreamer. We talk about how to pronounce DILD, WILD and DEILD. What's her method and something about "if we were dreaming now"...

DR3:
I'm in a same or similar apartment as dream before. Someone is at the door. They open to see and it's about 8 pot head hippies. They want to close the door, not let them in, but somehow they push their way in. So they let the hippies use the fax or whatever they wanted. I'm thinking, wow, if they wanted to hurt me, there is nobody to stop them.

Another knock on the door. Its the satan. They don't want to let him in either, haha, but they can't say no. I think nopenopenope and I walk out the door. But there is his wife. I knew her name in a dream. She offers to walk me out, and again i"m nopenope. Then I realize if she wanted to, she can just appear anywhere while I'm going down the stairs couple of floors.

Then I woke up and was time for work. Thank god.

I'm visiting with parents of people I used to work with. My brother and his family is there too, and my parents. My mom is picking out what we gonna make for dinner, while my brother went out with my nephew to look at the frozen ocean. I spotted that when I was looking out the window and I was amazed that the shore was frozen, with ice waves sculpted as if the waves were still in motion. I was going with them, but returned for my phone so I can take pictures.

18:22:22] <gab> oh yeah, I just remembered my dream now that you mention it
[18:22:27] <gab> I was in singapure
[18:22:34] <gab> just now, afternoon nap
[18:22:43] <gab> buying candy
[18:22:47] <gab>
...
[18:24:42] <gab> I really wanted these awesome looking candy bud didnt buy it then, when I went back, they only had 3 pieces, orange, watermelon and mango flavored and I was like wtf
[18:25:10] <gab> Im only once in singapore!

I just remembered. I was also buying some soft tennis set and some other sport toys. We talked about that with my nephew last time we spoke. My first time dreaming with him.

Cool dream last night. Long and detailed, some convos with DCs.

We get to a building with my school class. I know that lave eruption and flow is imminent, and as we enter some room where we suppose to do something and spend some time, I see orange glow from underneath the floor. The floor has wooden pieces and in the gaps between them I can see lava, and the floor is partially translucent like some milky glass. I tell them if we stay, we will die. We need to leave. NOW. It's gonna happen withing seconds.

Someone left on a train and I'm looking down in a valley, in a distance, how the train has made a u-turn and it's coming back. I'm not sure the person I'm waiting for will make it back on time for us to escape. But I'll wait.

TOTM attempt monday night.
I did my usual.
3:20am GPC, 1 hour of sleep,
then WBTB at 4:25
GM at 4:50 am

When I heard the chime at 6 am, I figured I'm about 20 min into a lucid, and it went for 20 more min.

It was weird. I was not able to get away from my body. I woke up and for a few seconds if not minutes I was trying to figure out where I am, and I came up with answer that I don't know. If childhood house or current place, or somewhere else, I didn't know. I just was not able to sense, like you are able to sense the position of your bed and it's relation to your room and house in the morning just after you wake up.

I assumed I'm in my parents bedroom, after they are no more, so in the future. Had hard time getting up from bed and into a dream.

Still managed to do some jumping, bicycle and squash. Whatever that mean, coz I don't remember anymore.

This was last night. Bed 10 pm. Watched The Town movie, where bank robbers have a shootout with police in riot gear.

Long and detailed. Took 2x300 alpha gpc.
So I'm in a building with others. Trying to escape. Get to a huge room, size of a hangar. We are high up. Looking down, the room continues to the left. Blood on the walls. It's some kind of a killing room and same was suppose to happen to us. Long heavy chains are hanging by the walls from the ceiling. I'm thinking if I could climb up, swing the chain, grab another one, all the way to the exit. But they are too far from each other.

Someone comes and opens locked door, let's us continue escaping. Going through corridors and rooms. Now in a residential house with group of escapees. We have a long way ahead of us. I'm looking through cabinets to find survival gear. Finding clothes, plastic forks, tupperware, items for personal hygiene. Packing them all. We see police in riot gear sneaking around the house. Watching them through the window blinds. Then I hear my mom yelling outside the window if I am there. I get out through another window and meet up with her. Now some people from my original group walk by. I tell them to watch out for police car on the corner, so we turn and walk other way.

This was a couple of days ago.

I'm In Peru on a group tour. Walking through some caves. Guide tells us about artifacts that can be found. We look, and sure enough, there are silver colored rings in the ground. Some are only half berried, some found after some digging. I pick some up, but then I leave them. I don't know why we were able to find them and what's the catch. When we are leaving, one male tourist says "will pay for these copies" . It made me think that guides put them there for groups and then they make them pay for it.

Another scene - going on a fast boat across a large lake. Water is very muddy and turbulent. Lots of strong currents, large waves. I'm thinking which way I would swim to the shore if we capsized.

Last night, bed 10pm 2:15am

2:15 am - 2x300 alpha gpc and back to bed for 1 hour 45 min till 4 am
4 am - up for wbtb

I started to feel the effects of alpha gpc very soon, but couldn't fall asleep long or deep enough to lucid.

2 dreams before WBTB
DR1
In a house, some people, something about clothes, someone coming for a visit, he is drunk.

DR2
I'm in Somalia. This is my first dream visit in this country. I'm walking in a corridor, a man hits a woman that was just passing by, slams her head to the wall and I can hear the sound it makes. I know that woman are mistreated here very badly. When a woman encounters a man, she has to kneel down, otherwise he will get mad and do something. We are coming to a bus station, but I can't get there, because there is a man on top of the stairs being a dick to a woman. One lady sitting on a bus station bench shakes her head to me "do no come here now". So I kneel at the bottom of the stairs, but get up when I have enough of it. The guy at the top of the stairs looks at me and I think I made a wrong decision but I don't care. I go around and squeeze by the gate and hop on the bus as it is leaving.

Now we are on a tour boat. Next to us is what I think is the other shore, but when it starts to move I realize it's a very long boat. I'm looking for my camera wanting to take a picture how they are using the river as a freeway. Every inch of the river is covered by boats and they are going fast as cars.

5am - 2x alpha gpc
5:10am - 2x4 galantamine
5:10 - sofa


I had a dream I was WILDing and then I saw what was happening around me with my eyes closed. But no awareness and I don't think I got lucid at all.

Last night, bed at almost 10 pm - 3:20am

House on a hill I used to live in. Lots of people, parties, noise. Walking on the patio, a black dude in african clothes is starting to play bongo drums. I'm like really, you have to do that now, at 10:30 pm? Then I look at my watch and it's 1:30 am. I'm like fuuuu. Too late for that noise.

DR2
I'm in a house. My cat got out. I look and she is on the driveway, not able to move away from a few coyotes. I'm walking fast, praying I get there on time. Throwing rocks and branches at coyotes. The move and dodge them, get hit a bit, but don't leave. I'm hoping my cat won't start running. I get there and scare them off. Inside, I'm telling her:

[11:52:14] <gab> I was protecting my cat from coyotes last night, haha
[11:52:39] <gab> then I was telling her "you came <--> this close to being taken!
[11:53:16] <gab> it seems like I can talk to my cats in mydreams, and they can talk and understand me too
