non-lucid

I was in some jungle/rainforest type area where there were these really high tech/ futuristic type platforms built in the area. For some reason, it felt like the woods behind my neighborhood. The rainforest floor looked quite treacherous with fallen logs and a thick growth of ferns. So the only way to navigate the area was by walking along the futuristic walkways.
I am a jedi and me and another are tracking down a sith lord on this planet. The other jedi I was with had black curly hair and a short beard. I think he was my master and I was the apprentice. The sith lord looked like count dooku but with an insanely long beard that went down to his waistline, and he was waiting for us on a large platform.
We all draw our light-sabers. Mine is green; the other jedi, Blue, and the sith lords; Red of course.
We start fighting. But we don't fight for very long. Maybe only about thirty seconds before I use the force to jump about 20 feet into the air. I sort of hovered there and watched my jedi friend get slashed at and kicked off the platform but somehow I knew he was just injured and not dead.
The sith lord thought he had won, so I used the force to push myself down and stabbed my lightsaber right though the top of his head and killed him.
The other Jedi came up onto the platform and we exchanged some diolouge. Then the sith, who was dead was apparently able to still talk to me. He explained that using that move in a lightsaber fight is "cheating" and that I was dishonored. My jedi friend was also able to hear him and told me that it was a fair fight. He then left and told me to stay behind.
Some stormtroopers showed up and (enter dream logic) shot me with nerf guns. I blocked a few darts with my lightsaber which had become a plastic toy lightsaber. After I blocked and evaded their shots for a minute they ran out of ammo.
They took off their helmets and revealed they were all just kids. (Not my friends or my dream characters, just random kids, most of them looked younger than me, 10-12ish age) They told me that these were my nerf guns that they were using.
(RL note, I own a bunch of nerf guns.)
I told them that they had to pick up the foam darts, but they didn't want to. After a minute of my convincing they all begrudgingly agreed to help. One kid started crying and throwing handfuls of foam darts at everyone. I got really mad with him and we started yelling and hitting one another. The kid said he was going to break my leg, and started punching me in the knee. We fought for a long time until I woke up.

Alien invasion dream (in fragments)

I looked outside and noticed dozens of aircraft moving around in seemingly random directions in the sky. A few moments later they all stopped and had arranged themselves in a perfect grid. I thought to go get my camera, but realized that if I did, they would vanish. I decided rather to just watch and see what happened next.

C was in my garage, working. She told me that she had sensed that this was happening and had prepared. She had started building some weapon that would be the only thing that was effective against the aliens. She told me that she needed me to run to the hardware store before the aliens landed and get her a metal pipe: any size, any length.

I was looking online at the pictures and news coverage of the aliens. One of them showed the aliens in a grid like I had seen earlier. The other one showed a picture of the alien ships. They looked something like this. [/COLOR]



Badly drawn alien ship. The brown/tan parts were not wood, but rather metal painted in that color.

Fragment: Lucid Driving

My dad had just crashed his car into the road. I told him it was OK because I was actually just lucid dreaming. I immediately woke up.

Fragment: False Awakening

I false awoke into my room, got up, and logged onto this website in order to begin my DJing.

Something to do with skyscrapers and tall buildings being built everywhere.

Been getting alot of that lately. I did spend a good deal of my middle-school years playing Simcity. Most of the time when I dream about Skyscrapers, it does have the simcity feel to it.

I was spending the summer at some huge Victorian mansion with some other people. There was an old man who was the butler, and a boy about three years older than me. These two were both really nice. There was a girl who lived there that was about two years younger than me.
The reason I was staying here was the girl was having trouble getting along with her older brother, and through the course of the summer, I was supposed to help the brother and the sister get along.
Half the summer passed and I had made little progress. I began hearing a voice in the back of my head and learned that I was in fact a character in a novel and I would eventually fall in love with the sister.
I didn't want to fall in love with her because... well she was a jerk. So, I decided to kill her instead. I murdered her and the dream ended.

I wasn't going to record this dream because I don't really care for it, but it was sort of funny, so I thought "what the heck?!"

I was a character on a cartoon show. (So the whole dream looked like an animated cartoon.) I don't know if it was one from RL, but it was really stupid. At first me and the other characters on the show were playing a video game, but we weren't doing so well so we had to do something creative.
Some of the other characters went into the upstairs bathroom and (god knows where they got this stuff) made a giant ball of plastic balls, put a horse in the middle (so the horse could control it like a hamster ball) and held the entire thing together with barbed wire. (I know, dream logic.) Everyone got inside.
But, we soon realized we were stuck since the thing was held together with barbed wire, and it rolled out of the house and started rolling around the neighborhood of this cartoon universe collecting people like a giant calamari ball. The other cartoon characters asked me for help, I just yelled for my friend. The ball rolled into a lake and stopped.
K showed up in cartoon form and started to cut the barbed wire apart. Everyone fell out of the ball.

I don't care for these dreams, so I'm just going to sum them up quickly.

My family had run away from home, so me my mom, my dad and I were in the woods somewhere trying to build a giant dome out of sticks and leaves to live in. It was coming along nicely until some criminal came along and and knocked it over.

I was at an auto-body-repair shop where I was getting the air filter in my friend S's car changed. i couldn't help but notice that his car looked very new and high tech. Not only that but when the mechanic took the filter out, the it looked very clean and didn't look like it needed to be changed.

This dream came to me pretty fragmented. This is what I get for trying to WILD when it has become pretty clear to me that I have no idea how to wild.

I wasn't successful in being lucid, but I was successful in inducing my dream location, a beach. Specifically it was the dream sign beach resort, the one my family visits every spring around this time.
I think I may have been mildly lucid when the dream began.

Something was going on having to do with food.

I was giving someone a tour of the resort. Come to think of it, it might have been Lia. I can remember one of the three buildings had a weird extension made from these brownish cobblestones. They were cemented together, and the extension had these huge panoramic glass windows. It looked very modern in fact.
The DC who I assumed was Lia was curious about the extension. I told her that I wasn't familiar with the extension and it must have only been added after the last time I visited.

Okay, I need to go and cry now that my two best dream signs just sailed right over my head.

The resort began to distort, and it felt like we were in more of a bay type area. The bay that seemed to be closing in had these really tall trees on the shore that felt like the giant jungle trees from Minecraft, save for they were realistic and not made of blocks.
There were alot of rough waves in the water. I spotted a whole palm tree that was floating on the water and being pushed toward the shore. I then spotted a second palm tree, followed by a couple of very large pine logs that were sawed off on each end.
One of the pine logs washed up on shore right in front of me. Lia was still with me and explained that it was weird that the logs were washing up on shore because they were cut by a logging company in California.

Why that information was important, I don't know.

I was in a set of maybe two or three rooms. It felt like these rooms were underneath the beach that I had been on in the first part of the dream.
The rooms were arranged in a triangle formation, with one door connecting to each room. The rooms were covered, wall, floor and ceiling by a rich brown wood. (Maybe it was the pine wood from earlier.) One of the rooms was larger than the other, and there were about half a dozen dream characters chatting and talking. Apparently this three rooms setup was part of some strange social experiment.
I tried to go into the room with the other dream characters, and I wanted to chat with them, but there was a tall thin boy who disallowed me from coming into the room. I tried to go in twice and each time he pushed me out.
The third time I tried to go in, I told him not to push me and to just hear me out. I felt like somebody was next to my right leg, and I looked down. There was a girl, maybe two years younger than me trying to put her clothes back on. Realizing she didn't want attention, I quickly looked away out of respect and realized she was the only girl here. When I looked around the room, and saw the faces of the other boys, I got the feeling that the other boys were abusing her. (I guess this was part of the social experiment we were in.)
I kept on talking with the tall boy, who started to become more friendly as we chatted. I think I was eventually able to make amends with everyone.

I was exploring some area that felt like the eastern side of the town I lived in. It was summertime rather than wintertime and I felt like I was lost and needed a car ride back to my house as it would be a lengthy walk.
I first explored some kind of storefront type area that I'm not familiar with in RL. I later got into a neighborhood type area that was similar to the neighborhood my friend S lives in.

I recall a fragment from the night before last where I was going to use my dream guide as an art reference, and S was there. This dream seemed to be a continuation of that. I was showing some of my art to S, and he was liking it. I got to several pages that were all failed attempts at me drawing my dream guide. (In RL, I'm not good at drawing people.) S thought they were really good and wanted to see more, but I told him to give me my sketchbook back.

Fragment

I am riding the school bus. I know S is there but everyone else is unfamiliar. We are going on a field trip to look for art references of all things. I think I got mildly lucid and was looking for my dream guide as an art reference.

Fragment: Minecraft


I am in a rainforest biome. I jump off a mountain into the water.

Brains!

I am in my tech school class and the room looks pretty normal save for there is a door in the corner of the room where we have the green-screen set up. The greenscreen has been replaced with a marker board and the remaining camera equipment has been pushed aside.
I am on my computer... doing whatever when the teacher calls us over by the door. He begins by drawing a brain on the board. (Given this is an art class, I think we are learning about... how to draw brains...?) So I expect he will experiment with drawing the brain from different angles and what not.
No, the dream goes a different route. The teacher is actually going to lecture us on the different regions of the brain and what their functions are. (Again, this is an art/computer animation class)
The first thing he does is draw a small circle in the middle of the brain. He makes a joke by saying that this is how much of his brain is actually functional. A few people laugh, including me. He then erases the circle and begins talking seriously about the lesson.
I get bored almost immediately and begin to think about how this lesson COULD actually intrest me. I think about the only brain related topic that I'm actually interested in, in hopes that maybe I could bring it up in the class discussion. (Obviously that topic is dreaming.)
Hmm...Dreaming. Lucid dreaming. I should do a reality check.
I don't even finish my thought when a dream character bursts through the door and shoots me with a gun. I wake up.

Well screw you too, random dream character.

Fragment: Football.

I am playing football. (Strange b/c I don't even know the rules of football in RL.) We are about to score a touchdown when the other team starts cheating. I don't see how they are cheating at first, but then realize that some of the players on the other team are "football robots".

Fragment: Random

I am feeding ducks cheese bugles. (SERIOUSLY, BRAIN, WHAT THE HECK!?!?!!?) One of the ducks tries to fly away, but I think gets shot by a hunter. The other one starts barfing the cheese bugles back up next to me. They are much bigger and covered in ... duck spit? I don't want to eat them, even though the duck seems to be offering them to me.

Lucid Nightmare: Dentist in math class

I am in my math class. At least two other kids are talking about an assignment, and the teacher is pestering me about something. Eventually she stops and I get ready to sit down, but a dentist comes in and tells me I must have a dental operation.
A large dentist chair complete with instruments appears at the front of the class. The dentist sort of forces me to lay down and leather restraints go onto my arms. The dentist explains that I must have my braces augmented then he will use a laser to kill germs on my teeth.
We cut straight to the laser part. The laser comes down from the ceiling on this robotic arm. The projector is a chrome cone like device. (Another cool sci-fi design) The laser beam itself was actually a purple color. I get to somehow watch as the dentist uses the laser to clean cavities on the inside of my own mouth. But he seems to be making mistakes and having the laser hit my gums. This hurts. A lot.
Eventually, he gets done with the laser. He says he is going to start pulling bad teeth out. He gets a rather intimidating set of pliers and pulls out one or two teeth. This hurts. Even more. He keeps pulling teeth out, and I can feel the inside of my mouth. I'm trying to figure out what teeth he's pulling.
Okay, this has gone far enough. Somehow one of my hands gets free of the restraints and i do a nose plug RC.
I'm lucid, but the dream is really unstable. Heck, I can feel my arm in two places at once, pinching my nose, and sitting by the side of my body under a blanket.
Nevertheless, this dentist doesn't seem to like the fact I've become lucid. He begins to wake me up by casting a magical spell from his hand. I want him to stop (for obvious reasons), I feel for the tray by the side of my chair and grab a handful of dental tools. I'm ready to stab him when I wake up completely.

I am working with a gamedev team that is trying to develop a sort of pardoy shooter that takes elements from several first person shooters and includes them into one. The game has this really sophisticated VR simulation thing that the ask me to test.
The game has fairly good graphics, probably on par with today's systems, but I can still pick out polygons in the rocks. I am in this canyon type area, the canyon is maybe forty feet wide, and the walls of the canyon are about as high. There are large boulders strewn about in the canyon that I can use for cover. At some points, the canyon is flooded with water about two feet deep that I must wade too.
I begin advancing down the canyon. This is one of the campaign missions. Slowly but surely, enemies begin to attack. Grunts (halo games) and Psychos (borderlands). They are pathetically weak. I kill them.
It is at this point that I realize I have three out of four weapons equipped.
Weapon one is a large green sniper rifle. It has a boxy design with olive green panels on it. There is a large scope on the top. The rifle seems to have low recoil, and be accurate, but not do much damage.
Weapon two is just labeled the "cutter". It was a black shotgun-like weapon that fires a horizontal orange energy arc out of it. At close range, it cuts enemies in half, at medium, it can still kill them, but at long range the energy arc disperses and gets too weak to kill.
Weapon three is just a needier from Halo. This turned out to be the weapon I relied on because it has unlimited ammo. I still have to do the reload animation where I shake the weapon, but I never run out.
I continue advancing down the canyon, killing waves of increasingly difficult (but still pathetically easy) enemies. As I advance, the "feel" of the area changes. When I had started, The canyon was very foggy, as if it were raining. Now, the area was illuminated with a bright orange-ish light. I get to this area where the canyon widens. A narrow river cuts the area in half. There are rock shelves with enemies all over them, and a high-tech bridge crossing over them. There are jackals (from halo) attempting to snipe me from up on the bridge.
I hide behind a boulder, and reload my needler. I try to poke up, but get hit with a sniper shot and my health goes down. Ground troops flank around the boulder and I kill them. My health re-gens, and I poke up again. I fire my needler at one of the snipers.
I realized it would be better if I used my own sniper to counter them. I got out the green sniper gun agian, and was ready to counter them when... I woke up.

The sci-fi designs in my dreams have gotten alot cooler lately.

I was riding on a school bus with H and maybe C. H had an Ipad or some kind of tablet device and we were watching videos. While the bus was filled with this golden light.
We eventually arrived at the east entrance to my school, by the bus loop, sort of in the back of the school. There was a banner set up and a bunch of people partying, as though we had been gone a long time. There were maybe about a hundred people there.
I got out of the bus, and began enjoying the party. I noticed a lot of people had balloons. Then, out of nowhere, everyone's balloons started popping and people began running and screaming. I noticed there were darts flying through the air from somewhere behind me and breaking up the party.
I looked over my shoulder, and maybe fifty feet behind me was a guy on a machine gun turret, built up on some boxes. But instead of bullets, the gun was firing darts into the crowd. I tried to run toward the guy, but party-goers kept running into me and tripping me up. I tripped over a small child and fell onto the ground. I felt two or three darts hit me in the leg. (ouch.)
I crawled the rest of the way to this guy, then lunged up and tackled him. I must have knocked him out or killed him.
And, because of dream logic, afterwards, everyone just went back to enjoying the party. I overheard some dream character saying that people had brought shotguns to the party.
Someone came up behind me and blasted me with a shotgun. But it was at this point that I learned that this was a weird new kind of pyrotechnic toy that used gunpowder but fired no actual bullets, so when you got shot with it, it would just blast you with air. I don't know exactly how it worked. But it still made a loud noise that scared me.
A mother was watching a pair of very small kids, both of them were carrying these shotguns. They both ran over and blasted me. Agian, it didn't hurt, but the loud noise scared me.
I decided I wanted my own harmless shotgun, so that I could blast some other people. I found a box that was apparently a kit to make one. In fact the box contained dozens of kits inside cardboard tubes. I didn't want to be greedy so I took one cardboard tube and stepped out of the party crowd for a minute while I assembled mine.
It turned out to be very complex. When I opened the tube, there were hundreds of parts including mostly small screws and wires. There was a large flexible computer board with lights on it. The instructions stated that the first part of building your harmless shotgun was to select the color of three different lights on the circuit board. You could pick from five colors. Red,Green,Yellow,Blue, and Brown. I asked a man (Marcus) for help.
He looked at the circuit board and the dream changed from the party outside my school to this very high tech looking reactor room.
The room had a huge glass vial of liquid in the center, surrounded by dark metal supports. On the top and bottom of the room there were jet turbine fans spinning very slowly. The liquid was changing between Red,Green,Yellow,Blue, and Brown. There were four panels on the wall, like vertical plasma screens. Red,Green,Yellow,Blue, and Brown. But they weren't in sync. The vial and the four screens always changed so that every color was always displayed. We were on a catwalk above the lower turbine fan as to not fall in.
(I have to say, it was a cool sci-fi type room.)
Marcus opened a door between two of the plasma screens into another square room. This room also looked very cool and high-tech. We both walked into there. There were dispensers on the wall that dispensed liquids in each of the five colors I mentioned.
Marucs explained that each of the colors represents a different element. Red=Fire, Blue=Water, Green=Earth, Yellow=Air, Brown=Metal. There was a large L-Shaped tank of blue liquid in one corner of the room. He used the dispenser to fill a cup with red liquid and poured it into the tank. For a moment, the liquid in the L shaped tank went red, then changed back to blue.
While he walked over to the dispenser to get some brown liquid, he explained that mixing two of the elements creates an inert and largely useless mixture. But it's when you mix three that things start to get interesting.
He poured some brown liquid into the tank, and glass dividers came up dividing the tank into three sections, kindof like this. (Dividers in blue.)

Each portion of the tank drained of liquid, to reveal they had become something different. One became a sort of desert area with these light green spiky plants. Another became a crystal garden with green crystals growing out of dark grey. I forget the contents of the third tank. It may have been a clear quartz crystal garden.
The tank lifted up and separated each of the divided parts into a display case parts. Marcus was trying to convince me of how amazing it was when you mixed three of these elements, the possibility were almost limitless. I found it hard to be interested because the crystal garden looked dirty and fake.
I actually became mildly lucid at this point, but I'm just going to say I was non-lucid. I was looking at the crystals and thinking about how these crystals looked so ugly... This seems like something I would dream about...
Nope, I'm awake.

I have only a rough idea when I had these dreams, but they've been on my mind and I want to document them.

Hang Gliding

Probably just a few days ago.

I was in this very dreamlike area. It was a large grassy meadow with one huge oak tree and a small, single story school looking building in it. I recall a couple of paved pathways crisscrossing the area. There was some playground equipment; swings, slides and such.
Off in the distance, the meadow gave way to pine forests and lakes. Then those gave way to huge purple and grey mountains. The sky was orange around the mountains but more black overhead. Also the mountains were somewhat surrounded by beautiful orange and purple clouds.
I recall having a large device that resembled a hang glider, but rather than being triangular, it was made square, like the body of a miniature airplane, with wings and a tail. It was made out of aluminum pipes and the wings were given surface by a blue canvas.
Early on in the dream, I was flying easily, and I seemed to be able to control the glider and cause myself to go higher at will, despite the glider's lack of an engine. But slowly, the glider began to lose its properties and going higher began to be difficult. I landed, and tried to take off again, with limited success.
Some DC approached me and told me that the more I believed that the glider would allow me to fly, the better it would work.
I attempted to convince myself that the glider would work. But it didn't. I decided instead to go on one of the swing-sets, but just as I got on, The dream ended.

Race Car Customization

Few months/1 year ago.

I was in some kind of odd futuristic city. It was very bright and colorful but also not very big. I specifically recall this red and grey monorail track. And I was sort of in a back alley park type area. The park was on a steep hill, and there were concrete walls built attempting to contain the hill, and prevent erosion and the likes.
Some dream character approached me, and we entered this game about customizing and racing cars. The cars looked like drag racers with very narrow bodies and large back wheels. But they were holograms floating above us. My car was frustratingly hard to customize. Every time I picked an "option" the car would randomly change to a completely different setting.
Eventually, I ran out of "money" in the game and the other dream character told me that I would have to wait two days until I could get more.

I tried for a lucid last night, went to bed around 9:30 and set my alarm for five, in the event I failed, I could attempt to WILD with an hour to go. I had recalled a bunch of dreams, but they faded too quickly in the morning. I know for a fact none of them were lucid.

I recalled only one non lucid dream. It involved me and H. We were at my tech school, and it was time to leave and go back to the normal school. (A half-hour bus ride away) We normally leave about about 9:05, when the bus leaves. It was 9:07 and we were having the typical anxiety dream panic.
We wound up in the Business cluster (RL note, my tech school is a sort of pre-college type thing. There are nine clusters, each for a different career field.) of the tech school. The teacher sat us down in the classroom because he thought we were new students or something. We had to fill out this spreadsheet.
We didn't know what we were doing. We looked at the clock. It's 9:15 now. That bus is long gone.
But because of dream logic, we decided to go to all the clusters. We started walking to the Technology cluster to see what was going on there. But the tech school changed into my normal high school.

Nice that for once, my dreams aren't so fragmented and pointless.

I was at some movie theater (or just regular theater for plays and such) and my family was watching some performance. I can't even remember if what was shown was a movie or a play.
But after it was over, we got outside and everyone save for me wanted to talk about the themes of (whatever it was we just saw) but I wasn't interested. I don't think I had enjoyed it as much as my family. So I had to wait patiently while they talked. Fortunately, it didn't take them too long.
We changed topics to who was going to ride in who's car. I got with my grandfather. It was just me and him in his car. We pulled out of the theater and were in a pretty remote looking rural community.
He turned out of the theater, it was a bland building and went to the right. After about a quarter mile the road became dirt and turned to the left. I also remember there being a sign saying "watch for poop" and thinking that was funny.
We wound up outside this farm house built on a small hill. Most of it was surrounded by a dense, lush forest. I got out, and all of my cousins were there. The farmer came out and introduced himself. I think he had some really generic name like "farmer Joe" he started giving us a tour of his farm by gesturing to in different directions and telling us what there was. I was excited because he had goats (what!? I like goats!) I know he also had chickens, roosters and three cats.
He told us we were going to be helping out on his farm. He gave me this metal tool that looked sort of like a big two-pronged fork. (I have no idea if that's a real farming tool to be honest.) and told me that the cats would lead me to my work spot.
I began to run after the cats. Because the farm was in a rural area, I was running through a maze of trees and bushes to get there; I woke up trying to find my work assignment.
