Non-Lucid Dreams
28.12.2009Zombie Apocalypse (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID After months of trying, I finally managed a zombie dream! Good times. Only thing is, the hordes of walking dead weren't enough to make me realise I was dreaming, hence the non-lucid. I did get a little bit aware towards the end though, which just made it all the more real. Details are a bit sketchy, since it was nearly 24hrs ago I had this dream. I was holed up in the top floor of an appartment building in the suburbs. It was a modern building surrounded by normal houses with lots of gardens and trees. I spent a long time hiding in this building, having no contact at all with the zombies who wandered aimlessly in the streets below. There weren't a huge amount, but from the large window at the front of my room I could see that the street contained about 50 zombies. This particular brand of zombies were somewhere between the classic shambling, moaning, not-much-of-a-threat walking corpses (as seen in the original "Dawn of the Dead") and the more modern, able-bodied, running, bloodthirsty variety (as seen in "28 Days Later"). They were able to run like someone who was wounded, basically. One day I was walking past this large window when a survivor in the street spotted me. She had red hair and was about 30. She screamed to get my attention, then ran to the front door via several gardens and over a wall. Unfortunately, the zombies couldn't resist, and followed her en masse. I let her in grudgingly, knowing we would soon have to leave. The zombies were gathering at the door, moaning and banging. The noise was attracting yet more of them from the surrounding area. Luckily I had prepared for such an eventuality. There was a wire cable running from the balcony, across a few gardens, all the way to another street. We each looped another piece of wire over the cable and swung along it to the other steet. I had thought this plan was foolproof, but the wire I was swinging on made a loud scraping noise when it went over the cable, thus alerting the hordes below. They all looked up stupidly in unism, then roared. We landed, and after much swearing, ran out into the next street. There were still a few zombies ambling inanely with mouths open in this street- most of them having been attracted to my front door previously. It was then, when rounding a corner, that I noticed a flyer on the wall. It contained "Official Instructions" on how to deal with the infestation. The redhead looked at it and nodded. I didn't look, but somehow knew what the instructions were. They had just never been carried out very well. Apparently, a purple liquid had been invented which was completely toxic to the undead, and harmless to the living. (Rather convenient!) The orders were to dispatch vats of the stuff to every street, then throw it over any zombie who came near. This would result in instant death for the recieving party. We ran round the corner, dodged the odd zombie, and found ourselves in a ruined street of shops. All the windows and most of the walls were broken down, and there was rubble everywhere. There were also buckets of the miraculous purple liquid at every building. I rejoiced, and picked up a bucket. Two zombies were advancing on me at a brisk walking pace. I turned to them and sloshed all the liquid out of the bucket. I meant to soak them both, but only got one, completely missing the other. The one I hit immediately howled in pain and collapsed backwards. Visible purple fumes wafted from him as he fell, entering the nostrils of the other. Two seconds later, he collaped as well. Apparently, this stuff was very strong. I can't quite remember the next bit, but it involved me running round the town looking for some item I needed to give to a friend. I found it in a tiny garden surrounded by a black metal fence. At this point I was armed with water pistols full of purple stuff, and the undead were no hindrance. The next thing I remember, I was all out of liquid, but had partied up with a group of survivors. We were at the top of some kind of zeppelin tower- you know, a tower at the top of which a zeppelin stops, and you get on. There was a zeppelin waiting. The leader of our group was a tall dude with black, slicked-back hair. He was carrying a shotgun, and he stepped through the automatic doors onto the balloon first. I somehow knew that both he and I were invincible- we could not be killed or infected. I think I had some low-level lucidity here, because I acted a lot more like myself. I think that's where the invincibility came from. Everybody stepped on board and looked around. We were in a kind of atrium. The floor and walls were dark wood, and a grand staircase up to a viewing platform was ahead of us. The furniture and ornamental plants in the atrium were strewn everywhere. The black-haired guy warned us that this thing was probably full of zombies. I ran up the stairs and saw, for some reason, a door leading to a dental surgery. It was lying open, and I could see the bright whiteness of the wall. I went inside to find a mostly-devoured corpse on the chair. It was gruesome, but I was cheered up when I found two weapons to arm myself with. The first was a large screwdriver with a blue plastic handle, and the second was a kind of cordless dentist's drill. It must have been battery powered, but even so, it was quite deadly. I headed towards the very front of the viewing platform, and encountered a grandma-zombie. I gathered that she had been here for a while, because her eyes had rotted away! She had just two blackened eye holes in her green, rotting face. I got her with the dentist's drill, which miraculously sawed her head off in one swipe. I passed a few crappy-looking shops and came to what looked like the driver's seat. I approached it cautiously from behind, as I could see someone was still strapped into it, trying to get out. With my drill and screwdriver raised, I stepped round the front of the seat. It was my ex-girlfriend! She looked pretty much as she always had done, apart from badly cracked skin above her lips, and evil eyes. She gnashed her teeth at me, struggling to escape from the seatbelt, but it was very secure. Two straps looped over her shoulders, secured across the chest. I sighed sadly and jammed the screwdriver in her temple. I felt a bit of remorse, but I was soon distracted by many more attacks from zombified persons. I used the screwdriver and drill to lethal effect on lots of them as I moved along an upstairs corridor. They came out of the rooms on either side one by one, like a video game.
26.12.2009WoW... Tanking the Boss (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID If you've never ever played World of Warcraft, this might not make a whole lot of sense to you! I was playing World of Warcraft, for the first time in many months. I was playing on my level 60 human warrior, and had just picked up some epic leg armour. Then I was invited to a raid. I joined, despite knowing very little about raiding. They wanted me to be the main tank (cuz I pwn), and I accepted. It was my job to "hold the aggro" (as they say) of the boss while everybody else did the damage. I was having no problem holding it, doing my old combination of "Shield Block", "Revenge", "Taunt", the odd "Heroic Strike" etc, so I started using some of my less commonly used moves. I looked down at the toolbar, and saw some buttons which were completely alien to me. There was one which looked like a green needle on top of a purple background, called "Poison Sting". I used that a few times, and another which looked like a turtle shell from Super Mario. This fired a turtle shell at the boss for very little damage. I was looking back and forward between the main screen and the toolbar, and noticed that the icons were sometimes in different places form where they were previously. I must have been semi-lucid, because I said to myself, "Bloody dream keyboards," but kept playing away. In the end, the boss dropped some awesome chestplate, which I needed, but for some reason another guy got it, and my roll wasn't even counted. I was livid! xD
22.12.2009Top Gear (DILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Me and my two friends Darren and Hugh were guest presenters on Top Gear. So including Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, there were six of us. We decided to have a race round the Top Gear track. We were allowed to use any method of getting round. I went for roller blades. I became semi-lucid around here. I say "semi" because although I knew it was a dream, it didn't feel like "me" controlling everything I did. Kind of like a very close copy of myself, doing stuff I would do. It was night time. I took off round the track in my roller blades, reaching incredible speed. I was supposed to get round to the finish line ASAP, but I was having too much fun. I lifted off the ground slightly and flew over some grassy areas. There was one big hill in the middle of the track. I got up a lot of speed and flew off the top of it like a ramp. I shot up into the night sky, nearly at the clouds, then the wind caught me and I was blown backwards. I fell all the way back to the ground but landed on my feet.
22.12.2009Just Warmin' up the Core (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was left in charge of a nuclear power station. It was a small concrete room underground, with a grey chair 1.5m off the ground in front of a computer terminal. To get down to the room, I had to drain a large, artificial, underground lake. I assume the lake was on top of the power station for extra security or something. There were only like two buttons on the terminal- a knob controlling intensity of heating and an on/off switch. There was also a dial to tell what temperature the "core" was at. Apparently the main reactor was waaay further underground. I was powering down the core before bed one night, when I fell asleep sitting there. I was in a really uncomfortable position but didn't wake up until the morning. I woke up when I got a call from my friend Hugh, telling me to "Warm up the core." This I dutifully did. I then picked up a jar of peanut butter which had appeared beside me and started scooping out and eating it with my finger.
20.12.2009In a Bush (DILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was walking down my street with a girl I used to see, talking about some disease that everybody was catching. It was a warm, sunny day. I went into a petrol station and bought a packet of Wine Gums, then we headed further up the street. During this time, the girl got the disease. Apparently, all it did was make her randy as hell. She whipped off her top and dragged me into a bush, where she started kissing me like she was trying to eat my face. A while later, I was in a large house. I had just spent the night with the girl and was looking for my clothes scattered around the upstairs. I spotted my red jacket over a chair in the landing and went over to get it. It was beside an old man, and I was naked. This turned me lucid, due to the embarrassingness of the situation. I put the jacket round my waist, then took a running leap off the top of the stairs. I flew too fast, and smacked off the wall above the front door. I lost lucidity very quickly, because soon I was participating in some bizzare healing ritual where about six of us stood in a circle with arms linked, raised in the air. I think we were trying to heal the girl I was with before, who was still upstairs.
19.12.2009Ask Hell! (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This one was straight up-weird and very dark. Not like my normal dreams at all. I can barely remember it, but what I do remember is strange. I was in the upstairs of my granny's old house. There were a couple of other people around, I don't know who, but they were definitely female. Somebody had just died, and I needed to talk to them. One of the people I was with said I should "Ask Hell," if I could speak to them. The way to do this was to get a tin can, fill it with water, then talk to it. I did as instructed, and looked down at the water in the can. The world around me went dark, shadowy-black. I could vaguely see what was around me, but it all looked like an old sepia photo. A demonic face appeared in the water, and it started to boil. I asked about the person I wanted to get in contact with, but my request to speak to them was denied. The face talked (in a hissing/rumbling voice) about how people in hell don't get those kind of privileges, and started laughing. For some reason I started crying. The water in the tin was nearly boiled all the way to the bottom. As it was disappearing, I asked, "Am I going to hell when I die?" The fizzing remains of the water-faced demon shook its head. Then the scene went back to normal and the water was gone. I felt extremely relieved, I was genuinely expecting the demon to say yes.
19.12.2009Great Catch (Fragment) (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID A guy I used to know was gearing up to take a penalty kick at me. I was in nets with my arms by my sides. He took a run up and kicked. I put my hands up and caught it about two inches from my chest, without taking a step or even blinking. Needless to say, I felt awesome. I threw the ball down casually and walked off with a ridiculous swagger.
19.12.2009Fishbowl (DILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was out the front of a supermarket with a few friends. The supermarket was situated on the edge of an area of rock pools, the kind you get at rocky beaches. There were some areas covered in slimy green seaweed and moss, other areas where there were deep pools, and some bare black rocks. Me and my friend Mark were waiting on the edge of the rock pools for a few other people to finish up inside. A few minutes later, the rest of our group came outside, and we started heading across the rock pools. Somebody was carrying a large round fishbowl with a single small fish in it. The fish was orange and about an inch long. It was flatter than a goldfish, with a bigger tail. The guy carrying it tried to hand it off to me, but I just looked at him and shook my head. There's no way I was going to carry that over this terrain! Plus he bought it, his responsibility! We started making our way over the rocks. I turned to Mark and said, "Fuck, it's like the dead marshes in Lord of the Rings." Soon somebody stumbled with the fishbowl and the fish fell into a small rock pool. We spent five minutes trying to scoop the fish up and chasing it around the pool. My jeans got soaked up to the knees. Eventually it stopped for a second and I grabbed it. I put it back in the bowl. I tried to keep up with the rest of the group by taking shortcuts and cutting corners, but no matter what I did, they always stayed ahead of me. At the bottom of the rock pool area was a fast-flowing stream. It looked almost artificial because the surface the water was flowing across was so flat. One of my friends started walking along it, and I said, "You might be better to sit down and let it carry you!" No sooner had I said this than his feet slipped out from under him and he went on his ass, thanks to the slippery seaweed. I carefully made my way over to the stream and suddenly realised I was wearing swimming shorts. This turned me lucid. I sat down in the stream and was immediately carried off at quite high speed. The stream was becoming like a water slide. Further ahead, I could see that the slide just ended with a drop into a river far below. Above the drop was a bridge that my friend Darren was crossing. I pushed myself along and lay down to increase my speed, and soon I flew off the edge. Everything went into slow-mo. I whipped round in the air to wave at Darren and make a "whoop" sound, then did a backflip before hitting the water. The river was much faster-flowing that the stream above. It led underground and round a corner to the right, then just stopped. The water drained away through a grate, and I was in a large room not unlike my old school assembly hall. Lost lucidity around here. There was a strange bluish tint to the light in the room, and there were three boxing rings at my end. I ended up refereeing a boxing match which looked a lot like Street Fighter, except real- and I looked like a massive wolf in clothes. At one point in the fight I got bored, and jumped in with a headbutt which sent the guy flying.
18.12.2009Soul Man (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I should have written this earlier! I've got scrappy notes for this dream but can't remember the details. My recall had gone to shit lately, I need to step up my game! I was dressed like Ezio, the assassin from the game "Assassin's Creed 2". I was fighting a group of guys with spears outside the entrance to some underground casino. The entrance was an archway carved out of purple rock, leading slightly underground. I was fighting with a short blade, and just about keeping them off me. They soon gained the upper hand and I was forced to use my secret weapon- poisonous snakes. I reached into my white robe and pulled out a handful of foot-long, bright green snakes and flung them in the faces of my assailants. They screamed with fear and thrashed around trying to get the snakes off. I used this opportunity to go inside. Farther inside, I walked up to a small booth, separate from the rest of the attractions. Behind the window was a grim-reaper type figure. He had the black cloak, hood, scythe, and of course, skeletal body. Above the window, a sign said, "Soul Man". I spoke to him for a while, and found out I needed to pay him in "souls" for his services. I told him he would likely find a spare soul or two on the (probably dead) guys out the front. He nodded his assent. I never found out what he wanted them for, or in exchange for what... :S I moved on to an ice-cream bar. But this was no ordinary ice-cream. It was the nicest, most sugary-sweet, colourful, best-packaged ice-cream I have ever seen. While I was waiting in line for some, I even turned to the guy next to me and said, "I can't believe ice-cream this good even exists!" -before I had even tasted it.
16.12.2009Kodo Riding (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID If you've ever played World of Warcraft, you'll know what a "Kodo" is. If not, it's a big dinosaur/rhino creature. Tell ya what: I was in a large cabin in the mountains. There was really thick snow outside, maybe a few feet deep. I knew I had to go on a trip to some other cabin quite far away, and there was no way I could make it on foot, especially since it had just started snowing heavily again. Someone I was staying with (could have been male, female, young or old, I can't remember the details in this dream!) suggested I take their kodo mount. I turned round and it was right in my face. I was initially terrified- it was the size of an elephant except longer, and covered in thick white fur. Evidentally this was a snowy mountain-adapted kodo. I got some practice riding it up and down the long living room. It was quite difficult to stay on top of, because I was wearing a thick coat and trousers. I had to sit on the hump at the top of the creature's back, and I kept falling forward. I decided it wouldn't be too bad if I fell off since the snow would cushion the fall. The kodo was very obedient, even waiting for me every time I fell off. Missing time... Later on, I was having a shower in the cabin's bathroom. The shower head was attached to the wall above a bath. I was standing in the bath with a shower curtain round the edges. I was washing my hair when the lights went out, and it started to feel like the cabin was moving. I thought nothing of it, and rinsed my hair. I then scrambled around in the darkness looking for shower gel on the floor beside the bath. There were numerous tubes and containers, and I picked something which looked like it could have been a shower gel container. I washed myself with it, rinsed, then stepped out. The lights came back on. I looked at myself in the mirror to discover I was covered in yellow paint. I spent a few minutes rubbing it off my face.
13.12.2009Lightning Show (DILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Lately I've been too lazy to throw myself into a proper WILD, so I've just been waking up then goin back to sleep a few minutes later, hoping to DILD. Works occasionally! I was driving round Florida with two of my friends. I kept seeing things completely out of the ordinary, like a giant arch of light in the evening sky, over the ocean- and buildings which sprung out of nowhere. I kept trying to tell my friends about the stuff I was seeing, but they wouldn't believe me. I eventually convinced them to go to a restaurant beside the sea for dinner the next evening to see if the arch appeared in the sky again. We had our meal, then lay down on the beach as night approached. Sure enough, the arch appeared. Soon after, the sky went completely black and a thunderstorm began. It was a bit scary, and I became lucid. Looking up at the sky was incredible. It was like a light show. The lightning would make the gaps in the clouds stand out white. There were several of these gaps shaped like pterodactyls and monsters. It started to rain lightly, and I could really feel the coldness of the droplets on my chest (I was just wearing swimming shorts). I reached up at the sky and tried to create my own lightning, but it didn't work. As I reached up, I started to feel my own body lying in bed. I thought, "Crap, crap, don't wake up now, I've only had two minutes of fun!" I tried running my hands through the sand and grabbing people lying beside me, but nothing worked and I was dragged back to consciousness.
13.12.2009Dog Attack (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was on top of a grassy hill in a public park with a fitness trainer. Apparently I was too fat, and needed to lose weight, so we had brought my dog with us for a run. I should have realised this was a dream, if anything I need to fatten up! We were taking a rest of top of this hill, and I commented on how peaceful it was with no-one around. "Usually this park is swarming with dogs," I said. Not ten seconds later, four sheep dogs, a rottweiler and numerous other breeds I didn't recognise came out of the trees at the bottom of the hill. I got up to put my dog on the lead, in case he got into a fight with another dog. I couldn't catch him, and as usual, he ran straight over to the other dogs to say hello. He's big, friendly and stupid, my dog, but unfortunately not all other dogs are the same. Two of them attacked him, and I ran over to try and pull them off. I was annoyed at myself for taking off my socks and shoes, because one dog kept biting my feet. I had to punch one dog in the head to get it off. Another one tried to bite my dog's ear off. I woke up with my heart pounding!
13.12.2009Lego Castle (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This played out like an advertisement for a lego castle. A whole scenario was created, and lego men ran around unaided but narrated, trying to defend the castle from attack. The narrator was the voice of the main character's father, who sounded like Obi Wan Kenobi giving Luke Skywalker advice from beyond the grave. He intructed him how to swing round the inside of the castle, killing intruders as he went.
12.12.2009Right What Homework do I have? (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This was a classic "stressed-out" dream. Like where you realise you've got minutes before an exam and you haven't studied. Same idea. I used to get ones like this all the time. I was leaving school on a friday afternoon, and I didn't have much time to organise what books I needed to bring home until I had to get the bus. I looked in my "homework diary", and saw that I had an enormous 3-part Geography essay, a French practice paper, and something else for ICT. I ran around the school like a headless chicken for ages trying to find what I needed.
10.12.2009Ant Colony Attacked by a Football (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Attachment 1352 I was an ant. Part of a colony located in a park, I was tasked with defense. The weather was warm and sunny, and I was standing on top of the anthill looking out over a vast ocean. I was maybe semi lucid, because I laughed to myself thinking that it was probably just a puddle. Out of nowhere, a gigantic sphere flew over the top of the anthill at an unbelievable speed, just clipping the top and sending me flying. It was a standard football. It landed in the ocean and sent a huge tidal wave at the beach. I got a posse together, since defence of the colony was my thing, and decided to remove the ball from our ocean lest it blow onto the land and crush us. The next thing I remember was being part of an elaborate formation of ants swimming round the ball. We all lay on our backs, linked up, and kicked in synchronisation. The ball gradually moved across the ocean, farther and farther away from the beach. I wasn't really doing much of the work.
