non-lucid

I had a nice dream last night involving TW and computers, lol. I'm not sure exactly what we were doing, but I was asleeep in bed and TW came into the room and he was like "hey I've figured out why it's not working! The guy that I am living with in student housing showed me. And it was something to do with the fact that it was html v1.0".
He was trying to show me where "html v1.0" was written on a pencil, which was connected to a firelighter through a keychain. I was barely awake and was at that stage when I couldn't really focus on anything, and he was trying to show me the text which was really small so I was like "okay, wait a sec, my eyes are still adjusting to the light and I can't focus properly".
I was also thinking "WTH this is kind of a cool surprise visit but this is kinda funny that he is showing me this at this time. Surely he'd show me once I've already woken up?" But I wasn't annoyed or anything, just slightly amused.

There was more to the computery side of things than this. I have a feeling that it involved being connected to Pallkars using SSH, and stuff like that haha.

Then there was another bit relevant to the fact that TW had lighters on his keychain; mum was asking for my advice about lighters because we were in Philippines, and asked if the one she was getting was expensive. It was $20.50, I think, and I was like "hell yeah that's really expensive!". She was like "oh, okay" lol.

And thern there was another part where I was in the Philippines with Shaun and it was early morning, around 7.30 so I took the train to this random place and stayed there because it was slightly exciting. It was also raining pretty hard, and I had my umbrealla.

I missed the first train there, and the people watching me as I missed it were like "oh.." and had that expression of half-sympathy half-amusement on their face as you do when someone JUST missses a train. One of them was an indian woman in traditional dress.

The destination was at the top of a hill or something. I think it was some sort of campus and there was lots of student housing there. It may have led to the place where I was sleeping when TW came and saw me.

All I remember is something to do with pigs.

Actually, I remembered more but have forgotten now because I had to do some stuff as soon as I woke up so I didn't have time to write everything down straightaway :/

Okay, I remember bits of my dream pretty clearly I think.

We were in the Philippines. But at the same time in my unit in Perth. It was a flat, one of those ones up high in the sky, and the building it was part of was joined to a sister-building.
The Singaporean guy that was going to rent it out text messaged me to say that he had declined for now unless my place could surpass the fact that the other places had guinea pigs and rabbits for him to watch (something like that lol). My mum complained that I didn't clean the place up enough, which was true.

Haha, my brother had somehow swapped bodies with someone else, and was really fat. xD He is quite thin/muscly IRL.
We were going to some store on the same level as the flat. It was owned by some rich fliipinos. You had to do a blood test (just those ones where they prick your finger like for diabetics) and there was a security guard standing outside that would do that for you.
For some reason the owner of the store wanted me to go in even without doing the blood test. But I needed to go back to the flat for some reason.
And then I cam back with my bro and the two maid's children, em-em and adrian, and we went through.

There was this cool escalator thingy there. I recall the place was quite shiny or something. I can't remember what happened here though.

Afterwards, I watched an old man slide down the escalator thing awesomely; he did a jump as he went over the slopes. It was like a slide at Adventure World. There were three parts to it. Some children followed after him, but the girl did it on her feet and not sitting down like the man had done. I thought that I would've been too scared to do that at her age, and even now

Then I met up with someone around my brother's age and he had a watergun.


I was sitting with my brother, em-em and adrian, GB and I think someone else but I'm not sure who. We kept on walking round and round the table, working out who was going to sit where and next to who. I think AD was there. He's some guy that I went to high school with and not very many people liked him. But anyway, I think I sat next to him, but I am unsure of this.
We were carrying our meals in our hand (chicken with rice) as we walked around the table, and there were drinks there in shots. Some were coca-cola and some were some type of clear alcoholic drink. Either wine or vodka. I remember thinking that I was going to drink the coke coz I'm not too fond of alcohol.



Now here are some keywords that I wrote down, so that I could go back to them and write about these dreams. But it didn't work
Book.
Police on highway.

There was a part involving Fred and he was makig sushi and I was giving him tips for it. There were also various forum entries for it somewhere.
I think someone put theirs up on YouTube and I watched it and it was actually pretty good but it had mostly thumbs down and I was suggesting what ingredients they could put in it.

Hmm in another part I was going to go to some meeting. Don't know what happened.

And then in another part, I was walking through some playground with heaps of children there, walking towards these hills with someone although I remember not who it was.
I was talking to them about my shyness and how now I am pretty much over it and I think I went to prove this by climbing up to the top of some playground equipment and drawing attention to myself. I'm not sure what I did.

I was hiking in the forest like Into The Wild. I was scared that I wasn't going to find anything to eat and would probably die out here. But then I stumbled across these people camping. They had these weird circular bed things that they slept in. They were pretty cool actually and looked pretty comfortable.
There was one girl and a few guys, and they were sitting around in a circle. The girl was a blonde Australian. One of the guys had a Swedish accent. And then they did something weird lol, that I won't say here [...]

I had a map, and to the north was either a river or a road, I can't remember what. To the south was some kind of border. Maybe it was the ocean.

There was another part where I was having my identification checked but I was using my mum's passport for some reason. And in her photo she had glasses on, so I couldn't pass as her.

I've forgotten most of the rest of the dream.

There was some sort of starfish in my dream

I went to buy hooks to stick onto the wall to mount the clock in my room and in the shops there were these different hooks and they were all either too fancy for what I needed or of really low quality so I knew they wouldn't stick well enough to the wall and just fall down.
There was a woman who was watching me select and I think she was (breast?)feeding her child and she too had went to select some hooks like that. I think I talked to her for a while.

And then there was some car that drove around. It had my cousin EE in it. It also had a few other people, one was a tall, caucasian man in his late 20s and the car had something to do with language, especially tagalog.

It was going to go through some drive-through thingy and they thought that I needed to do something that I shouldn't, so said something like "Hey don't worry about it, it's all under control".

And that's all I remember, until someone rang and woke me up from my lovely sleep

Going back to sleep now!


Dream continued!

Tennis. Something to do with tennis. And my brother must've been there to.
I didn't write this part down, even though I should've, because I remembered it quite well, but now, as expected, I've forgotten, and I think, that this sentence has, too many commas.

Then I woke up and fell asleep again.


This part I remember more.

I was in the car with DM, and we had rented it. For some reason we stopped at a roundabout, one with two lanes and we were in the right lane, doing a U-turn. The car was on but it had a steering lock. We were in a hurry to go somewhere, and for some reason there was a traffic light governing the movement of the roundabout. I was like, "Hey hop in let's go!", so we did go inside but the traffic light turned green as soon as we got in and so we only had time to switch the engine on and not take off the steering lock. Luckily the steering had some threshold tolerance of turning so we were able to make it around the roundabout with some effort. We shifted in and out of lanes a bit so DM was like "hey we better pull over now" because the other drivers were getting annoyed and I went to pull over and it was a really sandy bit with grass and stuff but it was over these bricks so I thought it was okay and that we wouldn't get bogged. We pulled over and unlocked the steering and it was fine. We weren't bogged. Then DM proceeded to tell me about how the bricks actually make it MORE dangerous, and at this point it was something to do with this creature going up a mountain and we lived there.

There were a few plastic bags on the steps of the hiking trail. They were filled with rubbish and stuff so I was stuffing them into each other to move them out of the way so that the track was less polluted. DM asked me something about what I'd do if I lived up here in the mountain. I can't remember what I said back.

There was another part (I think before the car part) where we were going to go get a guitar game (similar to guitar hero) and I was going to verse his sister, LM, in it. We got it, and I think we also got fish and chips, and then we went back to his house and his mum and dad were meant to be there but I went to hug her and she wasn't there or something. There was this other strange woman there and she was fat and had a purple shirt and jeans and was some kind of house keeper but suddenly mum was there and annoyed at her because she was looking at videos of people from the Philippines and I can't remember what but she was just being rude in some way.

Another part where DM was using these big words (two in one sentence) and I also think he used a word similar to exemplifying, but it wasn't this; it meant to clarify the meaning of what one is saying. Maybe that's what that means? I don't know But anyway, he was teasing me that my vocabulary sucks, which it kinda does

Alright, and then there was another bit.

In the car again, with some aborigines this time. One of their families mothers was white, and this one was my mother-in-law (wtf). My brother said something that offended her. She seemed really posh, but nice. There were three cars of aborigines driving on the highway,

Some people were considering moving to Harvey, and they thought that it was near the coast. I told them that it wasn't, and that it took at least 30 minutes to get there from my house, which was pretty much on the coast. They were talking to a priest I think, and saying that they were going to move there for 12 weeks.

There was some game with some guy and we were fighting and i was tasering him and it wasn't very nice. This part was particularly violent, and involved BF. He was fighting against me and the guns he had were colourful I think.

I went out in public after losing the fight, I passed by some chick I knew, although I cannot remember who it was. And then there was this megastore sale which had moved from Bunbury to Perth and there was an outside bit where they were selling gloves and I really wanted some gloves but there were no nice ones. That posh woman was there, too, and she was with someone else. I think it was here that they were talking about moving to Harvey. Man my dream recollection is so unorganised.

I was in some place with lots of people, lining up to get something. It was a dictionary or dinner or something. Most people usually took ages but I was an exception. Everyone was wearing some weird tag and getting impatient.
I was also making videos. I think I was considering putting them on YouTube. I was thinking that I really needed a camcorder to do this though, especially as I wanted one of them to be from the perspective of a shoe.
I was talking to someone about something. Oh yes, I remember now. There was some book being read out loud or it was some radio station adnd there were these things of outer space and people talking and some were showcasing the Swedish language.
There was a woman that spoke it fairly well (she was a beginner) and I think I managed to understand her.

As soon as I woke up I grabbed my laptop, hoping to record everything I could remember from my dream. Unfortunately I couldn't remember much at all

There was a part with some girl in some room. Hmm.

And then I was with a group of people. I cannot remember what happened.

Something happened to my command prompt and then TW sent me this piece of code (actually, three different versions of it that I could choose from) and was like "I fixed it up for you, I just put this piece of code in". Before I could ask him how one would go about doing that, I woke up. But I recall that it was something to do with the system32 folder. Lol.

In my dream we went to some sort of university.

There were cats. We were in a group meeting and then went to pick something up. At the place to pick up there was a small kitten and attached was a note handwritten with blue pen that said something like, "thank you for everything you have done you've made me smile, this is for you". It was an orange kitten.
I picked it up and took care of it and stuff, and couldn't think of who would have given it to me. I thought that AK would've been happy that we had a cat. It was cute :3

There was a scene wheree there was a fuel station and somehow there wasn't just one cat but there were lots and they were orange like garfield and had green collars.

There was also some sort of competition where there were dinosaurs and the cat was also involved. My mum was there. It was either a type of hide and seek game involving those animals - oh and cactuses too - or we were in some sort of race. I cannot really remember.

Anyway, at the fuel station, the owners were absent so we had to cater for all the people that were suddenly coming. Either that or we had to get out of there and find all the missing cats before the people coming wanted to get their fuel and they thought we would serve them.

At the university, I walked around the corner and there was this large maths library that I never knew existed. I went and sat with my group. Turns out one of them gave me the cat, after I asked her and she was really bad at lying. Actually it was her that bought it and another person in my group had meant it. The person that meant to give me the cat had the same handwriting as that on the note (lol surely you'd type it out or something if it was meant to be anonymous).
There were these pin-up boards in the library that we sat around and for some reason there were lobsters/crayfish there and they were trying to attack me and I was trying to get away from them. There was also a little girl that looked like Dora the Explorer.

My dreams lately have been pretty hard to recall. I am also having trouble recalling their chronological order.

Non-lucid Part
In my dream there was a swimming pool.
I was swimming and it was half a pool half an ocean. The water was salty. There was a brick wall that I was near, which I think marked the boundary of land and ocean. It kind of jutted up from the water. Whenever a wave passed through I was afraid that I (or someone) may hit their head on the corner of the brick wall, but JS assured me that it was safe. The people in the pool (maybe about 20) were playing all sorts of games where they would react to different situations. One of the situations was armageddon-type where an asteroid or somteing would hit Earth. Everyone dived down under the water as deep as they could. This was probably about 8 metres. I couln't swim under though for some reason, and the seconds until impact was counting down in the fom of some erupting water thing on the side.
However I think I eventually managed to and there was Marieke Hardy and the Doctor from Triple J (a radio station) and we were discussing her legging colours. She was wearing stripy black and white leggings.

I had ran there with someone, I cannot remember who, after being on the bus with MB. She didn't want to run the path with me (which went uphill and through the woods) because she didn't orka.
I ran the path and came to this uphill bit and decided to run up it fast whilst the other person just watched. There were these joggers in the way though and I had to say "Excuse me! " to get them to move and they did but unfortunately at the same time a car was driving downwards so we all had to give way to the car and I fell off the hill (jumped) and had to do it again.

I woke up here, and then I fell asleep again.

Lucid Part
Holy shit.
I had a lucid dream.
I am just starting to remember it now. Maybe I didn't? It is hard to tell because it is so unclear and fuzzy...I can just remember checking my hands. I also know that there was some kind of factory and also my sister was in it. Argh ...@#$@#$&^#$

Shit yeah I'm starting to remember bits now! At first I thought I was dreaming but then I didn't have much control over what I was doing. And then I checked my hands again and could walking around more freely and stuff. I think that this is separate from when I didn't have much control; that it is a "better part" of lucid dreaming.

I got into the car with AK and DM and we were driving along the freeway and I was like, "Hey AK you should try to make the car fly!". It was awesome because she managed to do it. It was so fun. The car just started pulling upwards and going in the air. And then lots of other cars did this and we were like "Hey they're copying us >: (" hahaha. We drove to the factory and that part must've been pretty unlucid.

I think before this, I was back in Australind and thought "I could try to do a backflip" and utilise my ability to float x)
My dad thought it was super dangerous but that's because he didn't know I was dreaming I did it several times and it was fun. I also thought whilst in the dream that perhaps you could use lucid dreams to practice stuff you did in real life, like sports and stuff like that. I am unsure about this.

Whilst I was running somewhere, I took note of how real the sensations felt as compared to being awake.

Hmm. Even though it was lucid, it was so unclear that perhaps I was only dreaming that I had a lucid dream or something like that, lol.
Hopefully it will be clearer next time!

I dreamed dreamt that I was with TW in Sweden (!) It was really weird/cool actually. I got there and there was this escalator thingy I had to go through. Damn and then I wrote - "eurgh I cbf typing it all out"

Another dream I had last night, I had this bag of mushrooms and I was delivering them to some place or person. I took one out and ate one, and was like "shit this is a magic mushroom", even though nothing actually really happened, I just suddenly knew that they were magic mushrooms xD Then because I was carrying them, I was afraid of getting caught and ran away or something. It was like an adventure actually, it was fun.

BUT I WANT TO LUCID DREAM >: (

xD

All of a sudden I remember parts of my dream from last night.

I was shot in the chest four times (I think) by someone I know. I was okay though. Just. I went to call emergency but it didn't work; it wasn't a real emergency response group on the other end of the line.
I had to call DM's parents for help. I was in Australind. My own parents didn't care that I was dying :/
I was like a special agent of something. Like the BlackOps from Half-Life xP

Wow I had a dream about the World Cup instead of watching it.
It was hilarious though, I tuned in at around the 60 minute mark and Australia was winning 2-0. I was pretty happy. And then Cahill got up there and scored another. And then almost scored another. But we won, lol.
Whatever hours later, I wake up and we've lost 4-0 to Germany xD

I also dreamed that I'd dreamed that my brother did something funny. Oh yes, something to do with categorising, he did quite terribly. There were two words with two parts. But he did not split the words correctly.
Well I told him about this as he'd gotten back from Outward Bound, surprisingly, as it finishes next Friday
We were at some shop getting something and there was a concert on and then Lisa Mitchell came on and played her songs (it is very surprising how clearly music plays in dreams). My brother went and looked and he said he'd never seen her before and I told him who it was and how some people don't really like her voice but I think it's nice. And we said how she looked a lot like x (don't remember who), but then we decided that she looked more like a girl from The Veronicas.

I was with mum and we went to some wedding. Maybe it was in Philippines. I was taking a couuple of photos from the back, and asked her if I could go and grab my camera from ther other place (can't remember where) and get right in/up there to take photos. She thought that this was a ridiculous idea, like why the hell would anyone do that? And the camera isn't even built for that (or something). I told her that is what I did at AK's wedding shoot. The idea was turned down a second time.
Funnily enough, it was just a compact digital camera. Also, I peeled some sticker off it and it said it ran on Windows 7 (or Vista!?) 64-bit. And either it also said on the camera, or someone was there that said it, that it couldn't be trusted because of it xD

TW was there chatting to me over msn and telling me about programming and stuff. There was a guy that e-mailed me asking for something, I cannot remember what, but TW looked him up and said "Well his background is in computing, so -somethingIcan'tremember-". It was as opposed to biology though, as if he'd learnt computing before biology.

There was some nursery rhyme thing for children in English about counting and there was a Swedish version too so I went and did that and I didn't even get all the numbers right

Lucid Part
Yes, I most definitely lucid dreamt last night. It was so hazy though :/
Kinda funny because I could only stay lucid whilst near my bed. Like, if I went to walk off it would stop being lucid. Because if I went to walk off, I wouldn't be able to see myself in the mirror and realise that I was lucid (yay dream logic!). But this sucked because I couldn't leave to try and go to Sweden, which I seem to always try to do xD
It wasn't too exciting, I just did floating around things and backflips and stuff.

I kept on slipping in and out of sleep paralysis (being awake). It was really hard to control.
[...]
I took IE's advice and tried to feel how real breathing and stuff felt. It felt like the real thing.

Non-lucid Part
I was buying cake donuts (wtf are "cake donuts"? xD) in Skellefteå lol on my way to see TW (!). There were lots of Australians at that shop and they were quite annoying :/ That cake looked so delicious though.
Music by Karnivool (a damn awesome Perth band) was playing in the background of the shop.
I was paying in Australian money, too. Wtf. I wanted four cakes and that would bring my total to $20.25. I gave the chick (who was also Australian) a $50 note (I gave this to her at the start, she wanted it first, and THEN i would buy the cakes) so then i gave her 10c so that she wouldn't have to get heaps of change. But for some reason she only gave me $10 change, as if $20 + $10 = $50.

Oh yeah, there was this weird cat trick thing. And it looked after your household if some criminal was going to rob it. It could detect loud music. The cat had to jump onto the windowsill but do a twist on the way (like gymnastics). Then it would grab the ledge and look through the window. Its eyes started glowing and it was scary. It detected loud music or something.
The cat was really cute and very well trained. It kept trying and trying to reach the windowsill, and I caught it when it missed. Eventually it grabbed it. Good cat :3 This part of the dream I associate with giants and other worldy houses for some reason. I also associate it with some map that helped detect the criminals.

[...]

There was a large base and we were under attack. There was a team trying to sniper the culprit down, but they got shot. SM (lol again) was one of them. I grabbed the sniper rifle off her and managed to kill the culprit. It took a lot of shots. I had never shot a gun before and it got clogged, but I managed to do it and knew how to reload it from remembering how they did it in some computer game.
I felt like shit afterwards for killing the guy. Actually, I felt alright, but it was just a bit weird killing him. I remember thinking that he deserved to die anyway :/

Before that, at the base there was a large factory, like a processing factory and it'd exploded or something. Anyway, the parts of the factory were coloured different colours depending on their temperature and the severity of the explosion (or imminent explosion). BD showed me this, as we were walking out after doing something (I cannot remember what. We were collecting something I think).
As it turns out, this was just a distraction to what the culprit was really trying to do. He killed some Mexicans earlier. They were on boats. I was one of the janitors that had to go into the toilets and move some of the dead bodies. They were wrapped in paper towels, all of them. It was a bit freaky. But afterwards was okay. Someone helped me move one and I remember that the body was cold. I also remember that some of the paper towels were starting to unravel, and reveal the skin of the dead guy...

There was some office with square glass windows...hmm...I'm not too sure about the rest.

I dreamt that my dad replied to my e-mail about whether I should learn traditional or simplified Chinese. He said something about "Who said it was hard to go from simplified to traditional!?", because it shouldn't be. Typical of him.

In another part, someone (TW I think) made the 3D glasses for minecraft and they didn't work very well.
