Fragment
Something to do with racing these high tech hovering spaceship type vehicles through this junkyard track. The spaceships are really clean and symmetric in their design, starkly contrasting the junkyard. The spaceships have some really cool sci-fi designs. There are some high tech looking buildings on the horizon that look cool as well.
Fragment
Something going on in my math class. We got assigned some really weird type of work that involved matrices (grids of numbers). The problems were assigned in a strange way as well. In order to find out what the actual assignment was we had to solve the preliminary assignment. The answers to the preliminary assignment gave us the problem numbers to the actual assignment.
Something about the situation seemed fishy, so I decided to reality check. I did, and of course it worked. But then I immediately awoke.
Teeth Falling Out
I've had a lot of dental work done lately. Three teeth extracted. Big filling put in. Etc.
I was looking in the mirror and noticed that one of my teeth was feeling particularly loose/sore. (Also the inside of my mouth looked disgusting, all of my teeth were yellow and rotten.) I ended up pulling it out by accident. I got somewhat concerned because it was one of my front top teeth and everyone would notice.
Two more teeth on the bottom fell out. I was really concerned that I was just going to start spitting out teeth left and right. But then I started thinking... This is a common dream for people.I should reality check. I do reality check (nose pinch) and wake up AGIAN.
Long Dream: Weird Apocalypse
The dream began with me merely watching and not participating. It was in what appeared to be an underground base, a batcave type setup. I was given several shots of heroes suiting up, but they were never pictured. I only got to see hands/masks/boots etc and never got a clear idea who was actually suiting up. (Curse you "dream cinematography" if that's even a thing)
These characters ultimately end up getting into a jet. (This is a large black jet, like a B-52) One of them is a skeleton wearing a black robe. He appears to be the pilot. The other characters are in the shadow and I never get a clear look at them.
They throttle up and begin flying down a long narrow shaft. The jet appears to be having difficulty attaining lift, and (though it will occasionally attain flight for a moment) always returns to the runway. It seems as though the heroes are nearing the end of the runway shaft.
As they approach the end, the jet's wing gets caught on some large chains that throw it into a spin and badly damage one wing. The jet spins out of the runway tunnel into a large cavern. There is a passage in the ceiling for the jet to exit, but apparently during this crash landing it spirals downward.
At the bottom of the cavern is a beautifully built wooden city. It has an oriental styling to it and is painted red with gold decorations. The careening jet spirals down and destroys a considerable portion of the city.
The heroes get out, and the mayor/supervisor of the city (only appearing as a silhouette) comes and harasses the hero group for attempting to fly their jet and causing so much damage to the underground city, and states that he is forbidding them to every fly outside of the cave again.
"But why are they all living in this underground city?"
The dream continues like a movie, and gives me a back story. It states that this is set in a post-apocalyptic world (and that is why everyone is living underground.) and that the surface world is occupied mostly by monsters and bandit clans.
The view moves to the surface and states that this is the time during the apocalypse. (So we have gone back in time) I am in a large city environment. The ground is broken into large chunks that are shifting around, (Think 2012 the movie) people are running and screaming. Cars are on fire. (I particularly remember this one white car that had a burning tire and fell into a large crevasse in the earth.)
I see that the people are indeed running from something. There is what looks like a bandit clan attacking in the city. They have these large catapults mounted on the backs of pickup trucks. The catapults throw garbage cans filled with explosives. The narrator continues by explaining that the reason the ground is breaking and shifting is because the bandits actually planted most of their explosives underground.
The bandits were important to the story in some way, some extremist religious group. Also connected to the jet flying heroes in the cave somehow.
At this point I was taken out of viewing mode and actually able to move and control my actions. I quickly ran away from the current location. As I escaped the city, I took note that the chaos and destruction seemed to die down. I also took note that in walking only a couple city blocks, the city gradated from a dense urban center with skyscrapers and office buildings to single family homes. There were a few other dream characters with me.
I eventually got to the edge of the city and continued walking. There was a very strange building at the edge of the city. A female dream character exclaims its historical significance to the city. Probably easier to draw it for you than describe what it looked like.
I know. It's a masterpiece. My dream journal Photoshop drawings are like fine art.
Anyways, I am still being followed by these other dream characters when I find out that this place, despite having historical significance has recently been refitted into a water park. I then learn that not long after the water park was installed, the buildings' foundation shifted permanently damaging it and completely ruining the water park.
I feel compelled to go ahead of the other dream characters and go inside. The water is still running down the water slides and I actually climb up one of the water slides to the top part of the structure. (This took awhile.)
I arrive on what appears to be the top floor. This portion of the building was supposedly original and not a part of this weird water park. There is a beautiful bedroom. Also something about this place feels strangely familiar. (This huge cobblestone obelisk with a windmill and water park is certainly not familiar to me.)
The dreams narrator is still there and explains to me that this was once my home, and that is why it feels so familiar to me. I then make my way across the boardwalk. I take a moment to look down. About 8 stories below me there is a swimming pool.
I continue on and find a door in the wall. It looks like it should lead outside, but rather leads into another bedroom. The narrator explains that this is in fact my bedroom. (Never seen the place before in my life).
I'm feeling artsy today, here's another picture.
You know I have to say, I like dream journaling along with these little pictures.
The narrator then tells me that I must prevent the apocalypse from happening. The dream scene changes to my living room.
The narrator tells me that it is my mission to prevent zombies from eating my dead hamster charlie. (I do not, nor have I ever had a hamster named charlie. Or a hamster at all for that matter.) [DREAM LOGIC] Apparently eating the hamster will grant the zombies some form of magical powers and render them unbeatable. The dead hamster appears to glow with an angelic aura [/DREAM LOGIC]
I don't have any weapons, but somehow I know discipline of martial arts. I also feel really tired, but my newly found martial arts abilities are the only weapon I have to prevent the zombies from eating the hamster. But, because of my tired lethargic state, this is very difficult to do. I eventually just give up and step aside while a particularly chunky zombie moves in and eats the hamster.
But in the biggest let down since two layer one lucid dreams in the same night, eating the hamster doesn't turn the zombies into unstoppable monsters, but turns them back human. (If that's the case, then I would have just started out to begin with.) Also, after I allow this zombie to eat the hamster, all the other zombies die.
So the zombie turns back into a human. But now the human form of this dream character wants to fight me. He begins attempting to demonstrate martial arts moves, but he isn't as competent as me. We start fighting.
Now (in RL, and by extension in my dreams.) I am a very small, thin person and therefore am not very useful in a fight, but compared to this guy and his weak hits, I like a superhero. (Maybe that's a bad comparison, the dream did inexplicably grant me martial arts abilities.)
Anyways I start fighting this guy, and I felt much less tired and lethargic than I did fighting the zombies. And even though his punches hurt about as much as a light breeze, he's a lot tougher than the zombies. I eventually used my unexplained martial arts to kick him in the face. His nose started bleeding and he was crying. He began going upstairs.
All of the sudden, I felt sympathy for this character that I had just beaten. (Well he attacked me first.) I told him that I was sorry, and that he shouldn't go around picking fights with people that can beat him up. (You shouldn't go around picking fights period.) He's crying because he says that i am a cheater.
I feel really bad for this character, but then begin to realize that the whole situation is a dream and... you guessed it.
I wake up.
Side notes: Most dreamers would be disappointed if all their LD went like this. But to me this is exciting, I've had a get-lucid-and-wake-up every night for four days now. And last night, I just had three. This is exciting because it means that I'm right on the brink, just a little more effort and experimentation, and maybe I can have full-length lucid dreams this frequently.
This is also the first time I've EVER gotten lucid three times in one night.
