false awakening

Hours of sleep: 10
Vividness: 5/5
Recall: 3/5

1. I'm stuck in a video game. It looks like Age of empires. I'm not sure if I'm lucid or not. I remember that I went along with the game, but I didn't bothered of losing. On the one side I somehow know that the things I'm doing aren't real, but on the other side I don't think something like: wow, I'm dreaming.
Anyway, I build out of nowhere a few houses which look like boats, I find this really hilarious and I start to construct houses everywhere on places, where they aren't needed like on the pier, in the middle of a road.
After a few minutes my army is there. We are attacked by Vikings. They have landed on the port. Even there I don't really bother if we win or not, I even start throwing some bombs at my army

2. I'm awaiting a friend for dinner or so. He's late,so I walk into my bedroom to read a book or something in the meanwhile. I realize that my bedroom has other furniture. I'm amazed and walk to the walls. I touch them and look them close. It even looks like if the walls are completely different. i realize that my room looks like the first days when I moved in here. But I don't realize that this is a dream.
I hear noise outsides. I go downstairs and look out of the window. The road is blocked by police cars. There are a few people running and hiding behind the cars. There is someone who shoots out of a window. It looks like someone holds some people as hostage in his/her house. I look around and than I see that there are cameras everywhere and it looks like our road is a set for a movie. There is a director screaming in his megaphone.
But strangely, everything seems so real, even the wounded people walking through the street seemed injured, they were crying and looking for help. I'm really confused. Again someone shoots out of the window and the bullet hits a car. It definitely looks like someone shoots with a real gun.

3. I'm outsides on a pedestrian-road outside my hometown. Normally there is a forest. But in my dream there is a huge field. And it loks really amazing Let me explain:
The field is completely red, there are some bushes, which are yellow, at some places the fields were brownish. The sky was purple and had some green spots.I'm rally amazed And I think about it a bit. I decide to look away at the ground and than look back to the landscape. The ground has some yellow spots too. I look back again and this time, the fields are red, but the sky changed from purple into a violet. I slowly start to realize that this isn't real life. I want to think about it but it's really hard for me and I can't even articulate a developed thought

I wake up. That was close!

Hours of sleep: 9
Vividness: 3/5
Recall: 3/5

Number of dreams: I'm really confused. It happens that I remember at least 6 different locations I've been.

1. I'm walking through narrow streets in the historical part of Luxembourg-city. Its already late, the street lamps are own. It's hot outsides, it appears to be summer. I stop in front of a restaurant I've never seen before. I enter and there is a huge entrance hall. I hang my jacket on the wall, which I didn't wear outsides. I walk past a bunch of people, past the bar and I sit down on a table near a window. The window looks like my window at home, even the same lamps are standing on the windowsill. I put up a little book which lies at the the table (it's my book where I write my ideas down for further novels) and I write several pages down. But I'm not able to read it.
After a time I'm leaving this lace cause I'm bored and walk past the bar, take my jacket with me and step out. Outsides, everything is as it used to be last time. Suddenly I remember that I forgot my book inside. I remember that I put it on the windowsill. I'm walking to a window. Although this window doesn't lead to the restaurant, I recognize my windowsill and see the book. I'm telling my self that I could pick it up later. I leave the place and take a ride with the bus.

2. I awake. I'm feeling very dizzy. I look around my room and grab the same book as before. I write my dreams down, but again, I can't read what I'm writing. I'm confused. I lay down on my bed and review the dreams in my head. I fall asleep. (Great false awakening, isn't it?)

3. I'm in my bedroom but it's totally different from reality. There are no bed and no shelves, t looks like a strange club or something like that. There are a few people in there, a DJ and a few friends of mine: L., Micheal, Girl N., Girl C.. There is also a fat girl I've seen two times or three before. We are dancing to the music we enjoy our time. Suddenly the music changes and the DJ plays some slow music. HE says into his microphone that everyone should join a partner and dance to the song. I wasn't pleased at all from this idea. Let me explain why:
We are 3 guys and three girls. So far as good. But the choice of the dance partner is awfull: First we have girl N.: I used to have a crush on her, but she's really wicked and manipulative. This is such an occasion which she use to make you feel uncomfortable. Second there is girl C.: I like her a lot, but she has now anorexia and doesn't look really well because of her illness. Third: there is the fat girl. And , ok this sound a bit harsh but, well she's fat and ugly.
So How can I survive this dilemma? In all of the three cases I'm against my principles and I would lower my self-esteem. I don't want to choose, but fortunately, I don't have to: girl N. has two dice that she rolls over the floor. It's a 2 and a 4. She says that she has to choose L. I'm not very pleased cause no I have 50 % of luck to get the fat one.
But fortunately the scene changes and wee are outsides in a spa or something like that. The fat one has disappeared. There is an old lady who welcome us. I'm wondering why we aren't dancing any more. I find this odd

I awake. I'm confused. But this time I get directly up. I look at my alarm clock. It's 4:15 am. I reality check the clock and the time doesn't change. I'm convinced that I'm not dreaming any more and I write down some striking words to remember my dreams when I get up in the morning. I lay down again and want to perform a WILD. but I can't concentrate and fall asleep without remaining conscious.

4. I'm in my old highschool. It looks like if I'm in a French class, well my old French teacher is there, We have to write a test, but surprisingly it's an art contest. My brother is also there. My teacher says that he has to go and we should finish in an hour or so. As he gets away, my brother and I start fighting and we try to sabotage each drawing. It's very confusing and we finish my throwing pencils at us. The teacher gets back and we stop our fight. He says that class is finished, but I remind him about the drawing contest. He says to me I should take the papers and write the names on it. I agree but it's difficult for me to write them down. I wrote like a 6 year old child with big, creepy letters.
I'm than outsides, it's day and I meet the son of my teacher. I'm having a conversation, about the last novel his father wrote (yeah he's in fact also an author). He gives me his essay and I correct his essay and talk about it with him. I can't remember about what his essay went.

5. I'm on a beach. I have al my clothes on and go to the sea. I get into the water and a lot of waves crushe against me. The water is really rising fast. I get flooded away.

6. I'm in the town where my grandma lives. I'm in front of the barriers (there is a rail-road in fact) and it seems that I've finished my exams, which I finished in fact last week. There are a few other students, and on the other side of the road I see my friend Michael. He's riding a bike and he stops. Other students join him and he starts clapping in his hands like a pole vaulter before his leap to encourage his self. Every one starts clapping and he finishes riding his bike down the hill (quite impressive, huh? ). I get in my car and suddenly, I'm in a car park. I get out and I walk a few meters, the surrounding change and I'm in a bar again. There are friends and one if them waves at me to show me that there are a lot of places free. I go there and I want to sit down, but one seat his occupied by a bag of girl N., who isn't there, at an other seat, a jacket lies there. I get another place, but it's far away from the desk so I can't hear what my friends are talking

That was a productive night!
Don't forget to keep it up!

It has been a while since I wrote something in my DJ.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to post something and in addition, I had not enough sleep during the last month.

But this is changing again. Next week, the courses are free thank God (or better: thank the government). So I will have enough sleep to practice again the whole lucid thing.

Well last night:

I was really exhausted because I studied all the evening long until 11p.m. I went to bed and I want to relax a bit. I instantly felt how heavy my body was. It remembered me instantly of the very beginning of sleep paralyses.
Exactly in this moment, I hear strange noises witch remind me of the sound of a fridge. It came to me in waves. I relaxed even more and I had the feeling that I was floating in the air, raising and sinking through my room. It felt very cool and didn't scared me at all, because I knew it was only in my head.
After 5 minutes or so, I tried to move in thoughts my body. I managed to move my fingers and my hands a bit. I wondered if I was already in some dream or if the sleep paralyses had already gone away.
I want to open my eyes, but I realize that my eyes are already open. It's bright in my room, but I see things blurry. My vision clears up and I realize that I'm lying in my bed. I know that I'm dreaming. I want to get up to leave my bed and to explore my dreamworld. But for some reason, I wasn't able to move. I thought:
- Damn! I feel that my real bod. I have to try moving a bit and not to think about my real body.
I slowly moved my fingers but suddenly, out of no-where ......

..... A DC appears in front of me! He's sitting on my chest! That's why I'm not able to move!

I shouted:
- Go out!
HIs answer:
- No, your chest is comfortable!

I awake. I'm pissed turn to the left side of my bed and fall back to sleep again.

Hello I had two very long dreams where some crazy and confusing stuff happened. The surroundings were constantly changing, but I remember them in detail

Hours of sleep: 7.5h
Vividness: 4/5
Recall: 3/5

1. I'm near a lake. The sun is shining, there are a lot of people, mainly hot girls and a few who I know personally. We start some kind of weird game: everyone has to run through the water to escape some-one or something. I don't know exactly how the game went, but I had really fun (mostly because of the girls ). During the game, a group of students show up. They come from the states to study here in Luxembourg. They get also involved in the game and the game makes even more fun. I chat with some of them and I'm able to speak in an excellent English. This surprises me a bit, but I don't pay attention on it. We run now towards a group of birds. We want to attack them so we run as far as I can.
I awake and look at my clock. It's 4:15. I look away to RC on the watch.

I awake a second time. I look at the clock: it's 2:05. I plug my nose. It's reality.

I'm in my grand-ma's house. I'm sitting near the table. My father is also present. My grand-ma comes in and shows me an aquarium. There are a lot of fish in it. She tells me, that a few fish are missing. I say that I don't know where they are. She keeps on repeating her question but than goes in the kitchen. She comes back and has a few glasses. She makes cocktails and shots. I drink them but they taste like water. My father is a bit shocked that I drink that much (4shots and 2 cocktails lol). I watch out the window and see the same lake as before. This doesn't surprise me at all. I get up and go outsides.
It is dark and I keep on walking. I see some lights and I'm in front of a supermarket. I'm looking for my little brother. I enter and there are a lot of plants. It's a kind of jungle or forest. I keep on walking and I see everywhere shelves, busy people some cashiers. My brother comes towards me and we both go outsides through another door.
Outsides it's still dark but I see that there is a restaurant. It's brand-new so we decide to take a look on it.
We are now on a terrace, my whole family is there. Someone says to me that I have to help to get the dishes on the table. So I go insides and I'm now in the kitchen of my grand-ma's house I take a huge cup with strawberries with milk and go back. The terrace has gone and everything looks like the house of my grand-ma.I keep on walking but I nearly let fall the cup. I don't know how but all the milk ends up in my mouth I don't know what to do so I spit everything out in the cup (yuck!) and hope no-one sees it. I put the cup on a table. Next to table two guys are talking. They have a conversation about the noises a wooden bar makes. I find this conversation so interesting that I'm talking with them and explaining what noises such a wooden bar makes when it falls off a building (by making sounds like "klong-klong, boum krack and tong!"). They are impressed about my knowledge After some time, I leave them and I'm suddenly ousides on this terrace! There is a huge screen. I look at it.
I'm now in the movie! It's Rain Man. I'm in the casino and play blackjack lol. And I win. Raymond (Dustin Hoffman) get's angry and kicks me in the ass. WTF is my thought. Suddenly we are outsides and there is a woman, who doesn't even act in this movie. She's quite beautiful. But I'm disturbed by the fact that Dustin Hoffman has kicked me out!
I'm back at the terrace and I'm sitting next to a table. Someone next to me says, that my uncle who I've never met in real life, was here to see me. An old man comes towards me and we shake hands. He says that he's impressed that I have a good handshake and that I surely got it from my father.

I awake and it's morning. My alarm-clock is ringing.
The End

P.S.: I don't know why all these things happened

Hello.
The day has passed, now it's evening and I just now have the time to post my dreams. Although 15 hours have gone, I'm still confused by my dreams. They were so overloaded with emotions, they really exhausted me.

Everything begins that I'm in the cafeteria of my old school where I learnt for 8 years in a row until I graduated. Something made me upset, I was really angry. I walk to find a place between my classmates. They are wondering why I'm so upset. I don't remember what I said, nor who exactly was there, but I was kind of disappointed how things evolved. I have the feeling to be cursed of being the one, who gets all the bad stuff. In front of me on he table is a yoghurt pot. I say out loud: I guess when I'm opening this pot, I will get disappointed of it!" I opened it and, like I said, I get disappointed by seeing that it was empty. So I throw it away. A teacher on another table sees that and he gets really angry. He's shouting at me, saying horrible things to me (in reality this teacher is the most bored and passive guy I met in my life). I get angry too and go towards him. I just want to slap him in the face. But I try to find some counter-arguments of what he's saying (but I don't remember what he says); I try to do what I learned at university to confront an upset child. I see that's no use to do something against it, so I turn away and go back. I end up sitting on a chair, my head lays on knees of some girl, who caresses my head and tries to calm me.

I awake and I'm sitting in a train. I don't know what happened previously. Next to me sits a DC. He already has shown up several times in my dreams, often as some counterpart of my thoughts (I'm wondering if it's the materialization of my subconscious). He ass me if I slept well. I ignore him and look out of the window. I see some amazing Scottish landscapes. Everything seems so familiar, that I don't even think about doing a RC or questioning it. I say to him how much I hate to take this boring train, which makes 2 hours to get from on point to the another. He starts laughing. I feel a bit depressed.
Suddenly I'm outsides, sitting on a seat. The train in front of us is leaving. A few kids walk past. One of them is really fat, two or three others are making fun of him.
Normally, this DC is the bad person or the impolite one. But this time the role have changed. The DC says to me: "You should interfere and help the little one out". I know that he's right but I'm saying:" he just has to get rid of them by himself. I guess he just has to sit down on one of these little bastards!"

I awake do RC, I'm not dreaming and go back to sleep.

I'm in a house, There are everywhere bookshelves. There are a few DC, but also some kind of odd animal. It reminds me of a dinosaur or reptil. But it has also fur. I have to catch it with bare hands. The DC help me to force it in a corner. I jump to catch it, we have a really though fight: it doesn't hurts me, but it constantly moves and tries to get rid of me. I finally hold it in my arms, I'm lying on the ground and I'm really exhausted. But we both end up playing together, I'm communicating with it by making strange noises, just like a raccoon. It accepts me neing his master.

I awake a second time and I have to go.
End

Hello I just can't stop laughing. Yesterday, after partying around with my friends (which I unfortunately don't see often enough) I had a few dream fragments which again seemed so real, that I didn't realized that it were just dreams

1. I'm with my friends in my favourite pub (although that night I wasn't there). I fell really drunk, like it was reality: Everything spun a bit, I had trouble to stand etc. Although I was drunk, I saw every single detail, I remember that all lights were on, it was so bright and clear, just like a film in HD. I stand next to the bar and listen to what my friends are saying. Suddenly the barkeeper gives me a beer. I'm confused, because I didn't order anything. Or least I didn't remember. The barkeeper wanted that I pay my beer, because he knew that I ordered it. And instead of arguing with the barkeeper, I took my purse and tried to grab a few €. But I lose a few of them and they end up lying on the ground. I stand up, I feel really dizzy, I concentrate to not fall and finally pick them up.
2. Suddenly I'm on the back seat of my own car. A friend of mine drives my car, another friend sits in the passenger seat. I don't know how I got there but I thought that I just fall asleep for a few minutes. (haha false awakening). My friends are trying my CD's. They complained that my music is creepy, but I didn't listen at them and started singing a few lines. So they changed at least 5 times the CD's. They stopped at one song: Baby when the lights (David Guetta). They complained that it is such a crappy song. But they don't change the song and start making fun of it. Suddenly, there are screens everywhere who show the videoclip of this song. The song changes and doesn't go like the original song. I'm a bit confused of it.

I awake and it's 4 am. I do a RC, I'm definitely not dreaming and fall asleep again.

3. I'm in a bar. There aren't my friends any more but my mum is there I'm really confused. She orders something to drink: I get a soda and she a beer I don't know what to say. I take my soda and she disappears. The barkeeper comes towards me, my soda has gone and he gives me a towel. I have to clean the bar. I have to give him all the empty glasses, but I never give him those which he wanted. I don't know what happens after: I can just remember that there were tickets for a plane or a train....

4. Another fragment (I just scribbled down a few words) which I don't remember involves an elevator and a reception.

Well that's pretty much of it.
